Efficacy and selectivity of some herbicides in five field crops

This Monograph includes studies on chemical control of weeds and self-sown plants in five field crops: two cereals – durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) and grain maize (Zea mays L.); two oilseeds – winter oilseed canola (Brassica napus L.) and oil-bearing sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) and one legume – chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). The studies are result of 6 three-year field experiments. All of experiments were carried out during 2016 – 2020 period.The study found the efficacy against weeds and self-sown plants of 91 herbicides, including: 35 herbicides in wheat, 22 herbicides in maize, 15 herbicides in canola, 12 herbicides in sunflower and 7 herbicides in chickpea. A large number of herbicide combinations and herbicide tank mixtures have also been tested.It was investigated the influence of herbicides, herbicide combinations and herbicide tank mixtures on grain yield, grain quality for processing and sowing characteristics of seeds. It was established technologically the most valuable variants from viewpoint of technologies for growing of the relevant crops.
