It is believed that ALS inhibitor herbicides in combination with ACCase inhibitors can be used as an alternative to glyphosate in weed control in RR2/STS soybeans. In the present study, the efficacy of ALS inhibitor herbicides, in combination with haloxyfop, is evaluated in the control of weeds for post-emergence application (V4) of RR/STS soybeans. The experiment is carried out in the 2017/18 season in Piracicaba, São Paulo (SP), Brazil. The cultivar BMX Garra RR2/STS is used, and the treatments were composed by the application of ALS inhibitor herbicides in association with haloxyfop. The experimental design was a randomized block with four replications. Were evaluated control and dry mass of weeds, symptoms of injury in soybean plants and yield. The data were submitted to analysis of variance and the means of the treatments were compared by the Tukey test. Visual symptoms of injury were observed in soybean plants, mainly for the application of nicosulfuron and nicosulfuron + cloransulam. Soybean yield was higher in all herbicide treatments compared to the control without weeding. Associations between ALS inhibitor herbicides and haloxyfop applied post-emergence (V4) of soybean cultivar BMX Garra RR2/STS were effective in weed control.

Metsulfuron is widely used for weed management; however, the residual effect on STS soybean cultivars is unknown. The objective of this work was to evaluate the residual effect of the herbicide metsulfuron on the BMX Garra RR2/STS and M 6410 IPRO (non-STS) soybean cultivars. The herbicide metsulfuron was applied at a rate of 2.4 g a.i. ha-1, in pre-planting of soybean plants. The design was completely randomized in a 2×5 factorial scheme with four replications (first factor: two soybean cultivars - STS and no-STS; second factor: five periods between metsulfuron application and soybean sowing - 0, 15, 30, 45, and 60 days). At 7, 14, 21, and 28 days after sowing (DAS), an emergency evaluation of the soybean seedlings was performed; at 28 DAS, height and dry mass of the shoot were evaluated. The height averages for the STS cultivar were higher than the values of the no-STS cultivar. The average dry mass of soybean plants was higher in the STS cultivar at 0, 15, and 30 days between application and sowing. No differences were observed between the cultivars for the periods of 45 and 60 days, for average dry mass. The BMX soybean cultivar Garra RR2/STS was potentially tolerant for the pre-sowing application of the herbicide metsulfuron. The cultivar of M 6410 IPRO (nonSTS) was affected in its initial development by the metsulfuron application during the pre-emergence stage; however, the 60-day metsulfuron application was safer, and therefore, it is recommended to perform the herbicide application in that interval.

Growth and agronomic performance of soybean applied with pre-emergence herbicides

Among the factors that limit the productive potential of soybean crops, stands out lodging, in addition to competition with weeds. Given this, the importance of soybean pre-emergence herbicides for different purposes is highlighted; however, they have to be evaluated for selectivity. This study aimed to evaluate the growth and agronomic performance of soybean applied with pre-emergence herbicides. Experiment 1 was conducted in the 2017-2018 season at two locations, and experiment 2 in the 2016-2017 season at one location. Treatments consisted of the application of pre-emergence herbicides in soybean in a randomized block design with four replications. Crop injury and chlorophyll indices (experiment 1) and variables related to agronomic performance (experiments 1 and 2) were assessed. Diclosulam and chlorimuron showed potential for application at pre-emergence to reduce plant height and consequently plant lodging. Moreover, diclosulam, chlorimuron, sulfentrazone, flumioxazin, s-metolachlor, pendimethalin, trifluralin, imazethapyr/flumioxazin, and oxyfluorfen did not negatively affect agronomic performance when applied at pre-emergence of soybean. This study evidenced the selectivity of pre-emergence herbicides to soybean.
