The use of herbicides with extended residual periods enables a longer time of weed control, although it may cause toxicity in more sensitive crops after application. The aim of our study was to evaluate the residual effect of tembotrione in soil with distinct textures and humidity. In the first experiment, two bioassays were carried out in one clay-textured Oxisol, with different relative humidities-irrigated and with water deficit. In the second experiment, two bioassays were carried out in a mediumtextured and in a clay-textured Oxisol, in different relative humidities. The residual tembotrione effect in soils with water deficit was up to 300 days after application, independently from soil texture. In humid soils, however, the period of this effect is reduced to 200 days long.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
