PEREIRA, JR et al. Herbicide combinations to control the weed seedbank in an upland cotton field. Phyton (B. Aires) [online]. 2013, vol.82, n.2, pp.275-279. ISSN 1851-5657.
An experiment was conducted in dryland conditions of the Brazilian Northeast to determine the number of viable weed seeds (seedbank) in an upland cotton crop, and its distribution in the soil profile, before and after using various herbicide treatments. A randomized block design in a split-plot block scheme with 6 replications was used, where the main plots were constituted by a factorial (13 treatments and 2 sampling soil depths), and the subplots by 2 sampling dates. The seedbank was determined by germination of the recovered weed seeds obtained from diferent soil depths. The highest number of viable weed seeds in the area was found before the application of the herbicide treatments at 0 - 10 cm soil depth. The treatments metalachlor + diuron; diuron + pendimethalin and the control (no herbicide treatment, weeded weekly during the entire cotton crop cycle) were the most effective in reducing the weed seedbank in the area.
