“…Similar populations were identified by Mika [5] in the same region, Lipecki [6] in eastern Poland, Zawieja et al [7] and Licznar-Małańczuk [8,9] in Lower Silesia. When applied for many years, foliar herbicides can be an optimal method of weed suppression in fruit tree rows [10,11], bringing an overall reduction of the weed species number [12]. Herbicide fallow favors hemicryptophytic weeds [13] and can even contribute to invasion by perennial weed species.…”

The weed composition and the dominance of individual species occurring in an orchard were assessed at the Research Station of the Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences, Poland, during the first 10 years after orchard establishment. ‘Ligol’ apple trees were planted in the spring of 2004 (3.5 × 1.2 m). Foliar herbicides were applied in 1 m wide tree rows twice or three times per each vegetation period. In the inter-row spaces, perennial grass was maintained.Ten years of maintenance of herbicide fallow contributed to a change in the weed composition in the orchard. It changed as a result of different responses of the most important weed species to the foliar herbicides. Total suppression of Elymus repens was observed in the first year after planting the trees. Convolvulus arvensis, Cirsium arvense, and other perennial weeds, completely disappeared in the succeeding periods. The maintenance of herbicide fallow did not affect the abundance of Taraxacum officinale. The percentage of the soil surface covered by Trifolium repens and Epilobium adenocaulon, perennial weeds with considerable tolerance to post-emergence herbicides, increased during the fruit-bearing period of the trees. The abundance of these weeds was significantly reduced only in the rows with the stronger growing trees on the semi-dwarf P 2 rootstock. Stellaria media was the dominant annual weed. Senecio vulgaris, Poa annua, Capsella bursa-pastoris, and Lamium spp. were also frequently observed. A significant increase in the abundance of annual and perennial weeds was found in the tree rows as a result of improved water availability after a period of high precipitation.

“…Weed management is an important issue for the production of perennial crops, including fruits such as apple and pear (Bremer Neto et al, 2008;Azevedo et al, 2012;Miñarro, 2012;Lisek, 2014). Brazilian growers commonly use inter-row mechanical weeding associated with intra-row chemical weed control.…”

Plant Growth Responses of Apple and Pear Trees to Doses of Glyphosate

et al. 2016

-Glyphosate is commonly used for intra-row weed management in perennial plantations, where unintended crop exposure to this herbicide can cause growth reduction. The objective of this research was to analyze the initial plant growth behavior of young apple and pear plants exposed to glyphosate. Glyphosate was sprayed on 2-year-old 'Gala' apple and 'Abbè Fetel' pear plants at doses from 18 to 720 g per hectare of acid equivalent (a.e.). The plant height of neither species was not significantly reduced (less than 1%) by any glyphosate dose at 240 days after spraying, whereas the stem diameter and the dry mass of stem and leaves were reduced by 720 g a.e. ha -1 . The glyphosate dose required to reduce the aboveground dry mass by 50% was 162 and 148 g a.e. ha -1 for apple and pear, respectively. Aboveground dry mass was reduced 2% and 6% for apple and pear plants, respectively, at 720 g a.e. ha -1 . Hormesis was not observed in either species at doses down to 18 g a.e. ha -1 . Both species showed low susceptibility to glyphosate; however apple was less susceptible than pear. Keywords: N-phosphonomethyl-glycine, Malus domestica, Pyrus communis, spray drift. RESUMO -Glyphosate é comumente usado para manejo de plantas daninhas na linha de plantio de culturas perenes, onde a exposição não intencional da cultura a esse herbicida pode causar redução do crescimento.

“…Different weeds infest apple (Malus domestica [Suckow] Borkh.) orchards, including annual and perennial broad-leaf and grass species; the most common broad-leaf species are Ambrosia artemisiifolia, Amaranthus retroflexus, Chenopodium album, Solanum nigrum, Stellaria media, Conyza canadensis, Cirsium arvense, and Convolvulus arvensis, while grasses are Echinochloa crus-galli, Cynodon dactylon, and Sorghum halepense (Derr, 2001;Lisek, 2012;2014). These weeds are the most commonly found in Serbian orchards (Krga et al, 2013).…”

“…Each control method has its advantages and disadvantages (Futch et al, 2019). It is difficult to accurately determine the critical periods and levels of weed control due to tree biology and the large number and variability of factors (Lisek, 2014). Weeds in fruit production are primarily managed through herbicide application (Brar et al, 2017), and the use of herbicides depends on tree age and the presence of major weed species.…”

Weed control in apple tree (Malus domestica [Suckow] Borkh.) orchards continues to be a major problem. Weeds compete with fruit trees, which is manifested in production quality and quantity. The aim of this study was to determine the weed flora of apple orchards with different floor management practices and to investigate the efficacy of the diquat, oxyfluorfen, glyphosate, and fluazifop-P-butyl herbicides. Experiments were conducted during 2015 and 2016 in orchards under intensive (Ruski Krstur) and extensive (Sombor) floor management. Annual, perennial broad-leaf, and grass weeds were identified. Dominant weed species in both apple orchards were Poa annua, Hordeum murinum, Conyza canadensis, Portulaca oleracea, Cynodon dactylon, Sorghum halepense, Carduus acanthoides, Amaranthus retroflexus, Cirsium arvense, Chenopodium album, and Solanum nigrum. After the first and second assessments, the best results occurred with glyphosate in both orchards and total efficacy ranged from 88.42% to 98.32% in the orchard under intensive floor management and 90.32% to 95.55% in the orchard under extensive floor management. Diquat and oxyfluorfen have shown good results, but their efficacy was lower than for glyphosate. Fluazifop-P-butyl, as a selective herbicide, showed low efficacy at both sites; it had high efficacy on grass weeds, but no effects on broad-leaf weeds.
