Resumo -O capim-amargoso (Digitaria insularis) é uma planta perene que tem a capacidade de emergir e se desenvolver praticamente o ano inteiro nas condições climáticas brasileiras. Uma vez estabelecida com a formação de rizomas, a dificuldade de controle dessa espécie aumenta muito. Com a recente confirmação da existência de biótipos resistentes à glyphosate os problemas se agravaram e o conhecimento da biologia dessa espécie é fundamental na elaboração de estratégias para o manejo químico do capim-amargoso. A presença dessa espécie deve ser monitorada nas lavouras durante a safra, safrinha e entressafra, pois o descaso com a ocorrência dessa planta na lavoura pode levar a um forte aumento na população de D. insularis e consequentemente a sérios prejuízos na produtividade e aumento nos custos de produção. Palavras-chaves: capim-amargoso, resistência, controle químico Abstract -Sourgrass (Digitaria insularis) is a perennial weed which has the ability to germinate, grow and develop during the entire year under Brazilian weather conditions. Once established with the formation of rhizomes, the difficulty of control greatly increases. With the recent confirmation of the existence of resistant biotypes to glyphosate, the problems became worse and knowledge on the biology of this species is critical to develop strategies for chemical management of sourgrass. The presence of this species should be monitored during the crop growing seasons (winter and summer) and also during off-season period, once neglecting the occurrence of this plant in the area can lead to a sharp increase in the population of Digitaria insularis and consequently to serious crop yield losses and increased production costs.

Estratégias para o controle de capim-amargoso (Digitaria insularis)Resumo -As características de agressividade do capim-amargoso (Digitaria insularis) e a existência de biótipos resistentes ao glyphosate colocam esta planta daninha em evidência no cenário agrícola brasileiro. Neste sentido, o trabalho teve como objetivo a avaliação de estratégias para o manejo de capim-amargoso (Digitaria insularis) resistente ao glyphosate na cultura do milho safrinha. A utilização de paraquat na dessecação pré-colheita da soja seguida da aplicação de clethodim dois dias após a colheita da proporcionou a maior flexibilidade para a escolha dos herbicidas utilizados em pós-emergência do milho. Palavras-chaves: controle químico, inibidores da ACCase, mistura em tanque Abstract -The sourgrass (Digitaria insularis) characteristics of aggressiveness and the existence of glyphosate resistant biotypes puts this weed in evidence in the Brazilian agricultural scenario In this regard, the present study aimed at the development and evaluation of strategies for the management of sourgrass (Digitaria insularis) resistant to glyphosate in out-of-season corn crop. The use of paraquat in pre-harvest burn-down of soybean followed by the application of clethodim two days after harvesting soybeans provided flexibility to choose the herbicide used as post-emergent in corn.

-Several cases of herbicide resistance in goosegrass have been confirmed worldwide. Reports of control failures after glyphosate application have been observed, especially in the Midwest region of Paraná State. The objective of this study was to evaluate the existence of goosegrass populations resistant to glyphosate. For this, 25 populations collected in two consecutive seasons (2013/ 2014 and 2014/2015) were sown and grown in greenhouse. Glyphosate dose-response curve experiments were performed using doses of 0, 60, 120, 240, 480, 960, 1,920, 3,840, 7,680 and 15,360 g a.e. ha -1 . The application stages were from two to three tillers (E1) for the populations of 2013/2014 and E1 and five to six tillers (E2) for the populations of 2014/2015. Furthermore, three of the populations supposedly considered resistant in these experiments (populations 7, 19 and 25) have had their F1 submitted to the herbicide dose-response test in order to verify whether the resistance was inheritable. With the results obtained in this study, it was concluded that the populations 19 and 25, from Campo Mourão and Luziânia (Midwest of Paraná) are the first confirmed cases of goosegrass resistant to glyphosate in Brazil (RF = 3.99 to 6.81), following all the criteria for confirmation of new weed resistance cases. (2013/2014 e 2014/2015) foram semeadas e cultivadas em casa de vegetação. Experimentos de curva de dose-resposta de glyphosate foram realizados utilizando-se as doses de 0, 60, 120, 240, 480, 960, 1.920, 3.840, 7.680 e 15.360 g e.a. ha -1 Keywords: Eleusine indica, dose-response, application timming, resistance factor.

Due to the limited availability of selective herbicides to control Sumatran fleabane after soybean emergence, it is essential to develop new options that provide effective control prior to planting. A new herbicide formulation containing diclosulam+halauxifen-methyl was evaluated for effectiveness at two Sumatran fleabane plant heights (5 to 10 cm, and 10 to 50 cm) and for soybean selectivity when applied at 7 or 3 d before planting. Combined results from the two sites showed that diclosulam+halauxifen, applied either alone or in a tank mixture with glyphosate, and the tank mixture of diclosulam+2,4-D amine+glyphosate are effective at all rates tested to control Sumatran fleabane in preplant applications. Crop response was observed with applications 7 days before planting at only one of the sites. A rate-dependent crop response was observed for pre-plant applications performed 3 days before soybean planting. However, crop yield was not significantly affected for either timing across all rates. All rates tested of diclosulam+halauxifen in this study were considered safe to soybean.

Resumo -Abstract -The 2,4-D has been one of the most widely used herbicide in combination with glyphosate, especially in applications desiccation pre-planting. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of adding 2,4-D to glyphosate for the control of weed species considered difficult to control (Commelina benghalensis, Richardia brasiliensis, Euphorbia heterophylla, Spermacoce latifolia, Ipomoea grandifolia e Conyza spp.). The experimental design was completely randomized, and treatments were arranged in a 3 x 4 factorial design with four replications. The first factor was composed of stages of development of weeds (2-4, 4-6 e >10 leaves) and the second factor by treatment with glyphosate (720 g i.a. ha -1 ), 2,4-D (670 g i.a. ha -1 ) glyphosate+2,4-D (720+670 g i.a. ha -1 ) and a treatment without herbicide (control). For Conyza spp. in green house, were performed three additional herbicide treatments varying doses of glyphosate and 2,4-D. The addition of 2,4-D to glyphosate is crucial to accelerate and improve weed control considered unwieldy as those studied in this work.

-E. indica is one of the most problematic weeds in the world because it is present in almost every continent, and there are reports of multiple resistance to herbicides by some biotypes. The objective of this paper was to analyze the growth, the development and the production of this plant's seeds, in order to generate information about its biology that can be useful for management. The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse from May to September 2015. Sixteen samples were taken during the development cycle of the plant: 3, 10, 17, 24, 31, 38, 45, 52, 59, 66, 73, 80, 87, 94, 101 and 108 days after emergence (DAE). The response variables were based on a leaf area and dry matter of each one of the parts of the plant and the number of seeds produced per plant. At 12 DAE, 80% of the seedlings of E. indica had emerged, and each plant produced more than 120 thousand seeds, closing their cycle at 120 DAE. Between 38 and 43 DAE, the plant had fast emission of new tillers, exponential accumulation of the total dry matter and substantial increase of the absolute growth rate. Due to the data observed here, we concluded that the management of E. indica must be done preferably before 38 DAE due to the exponential growth after this period, preventing the plant from producing seeds and spreading to other places. planta: 3, 10, 17, 24, 31, 38, 45, 52, 59, 66, 73, 80, 87, 94, 101 Keywords: Eleusine indica, relative growth, biomass allocation, weed biology. RESUMO -E. indica é uma das plantas daninhas mais problemáticas do mundo por estar presente em quase todos os continentes, e há relatos da resistência múltipla a herbicidas que alguns biótipos apresentam. O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar o crescimento, o desenvolvimento e a produção
