Abstract
Abstract Glyphosate [N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine] was applied to rhubarb (Rheum rhaponticum Linn. ‘Victoria Red’) as preplant sprays and rope wick applications. In 1982, the glyphosate sprays controlled weeds for 1 month. Rope wick applications controlled tall weeds for about 1 month, but new weeds grew. In 1983, more rhubarb plants emerged in the handweeded control and straw-mulched plots than in the herbicide-treated plots, partly ascribable to the previous year’s treatments. Weed control effects from either glyphosate spray or wick-wipe application lasted about 1 month (as in 1982), and new weeds grew. The straw-mulched and the weeded control plots produced the largest plants and greatest yields in both years.
