Chemical control of wild radish and volunteer EnlistTM soybean and selectivity to wheat crop

The incidence of volunteer EnlistTM soybean in the post-emergence of crops in succession, such as wheat, requires changes in chemical control. Thus, the objective of the work is to evaluate the efficiency of different post-emergence herbicides in the control of volunteer EnlistTM soybean and wild radish and their selectivity to wheat. For this, four experiments were conducted in 2017 and 2018 in field and greenhouse. The treatments tested were pyroxsulam, saflufenacil, pyroxsulam + saflufenacil, pyroxsulam + bentazon, pyroxsulam + metribuzin, saflufenacil + bentazon, and saflufenacil + metribuzin in 2017, and triclopyr, saflufenacil, MCPA, quinclorac, dicamba, pyroxsulam + metribuzin, metribuzin + metsulfuron, pyroxsulam + bentazon and bentazon + metsulfuron in 2018. The variables were the control of wild radish and volunteer EnlistTM soybean phytotoxicity to wheat crop, yield components, and yield total. The association of the herbicides pyroxsulam and saflufenacil is efficient in the management of volunteer soybean EnlistTM, showing selectivity to wheat. The isolated application of dicamba and the associations of pyroxsulam with metribuzin and metribuzin with metsulfuron represent alternatives for selective management of volunteer EnlistTM soybean in wheat, in addition to efficiently controlling wild radish in post-emergence.
