A series of 59 trials was designed to assess the yield response to the control of broad-leaved weeds in winter cereals in the 1982/83, 1983/84 and 1984/85 seasons. When apllied pre-emergence to winter cereals, isoxaben provided season-long control of a wide spectrum of broad-leaved weeds including Veronica spp., Viola spp., Stellaria media, Aphanes arvensis, Papaver rhoeas and Matricaria spp. In 22 trials on winter barley and 37 trials on winter wheat treated pre-emergence with isoxaben in the autumn, mean yield increases of 0 · 22 t/ha and 0 · 14 t/ha respectively were recorded over that produced by herbicide combinations applied as post-emergence treatments in the spring. The mean yield increases with isoxaben over untreated controls were 0 · 30 t/ha and 0 · 26 t/ha on winter barley and winter wheat respectively. |
