Abstract
The purpose of the research was to determine the effect of herbicides on winter false flax and to identify the preparation that does not effect negatively on crop plants. The research was carried out in 20182020 at V.S. Pustovoit All-Russian Research Institute of Oil Crops. The experiment scheme included herbicides with active ingredients (a.i.), which effectively decreased the number of weeds on the plots. The effectiveness of the preparations was more than 70% for different types of weeds. However, the variants with the application of preparations with a.i. clopyralid 300 g/l, S-Metolachlor 960 g/l, ethametsulfuronmethyl 750 g/kg significantly decreased the plant density (by 18-32 pcs/m2) and seed yield (by 0.33-0.52 t/ha) of false flax in comparison with the control. The oil content of seeds was significantly decreased in the variants with the herbicides with a.i. S-Metolachlor 960 g/l with the application rate of 1.6 l/ha and ethametsulfuron-methyl 750 g/kg (by 1.2-1.5 %). In other variants, the oil content of false flax seeds differed from the control insignificantly (by 0.3-0.4 %). It has been established that the preparation with a.i. quinmerac 83 g/l + metazachlor 333 g/l with the application rate of 2.0 or 2.5 l/ha should be applied to decrease the number of weeds in the sowings of winter false flax in the central zone of the Krasnodar region. This preparation, without having a toxic effect, increases the yield by 0.15-0.17 t/ha and does not decrease the plant density and oil content of false flax seeds.
Highlights
Winter false flax (Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz.) is a promising oil crop of the Brassicaceae family due to its simple cultivation under various weather conditions in different soil and climatic conditions and early maturity [1]
The oil content of winter false flax seeds after c d harvesting was determined on a Matrix-1 IR spectrometer
The tested herbicides effectively decreased the number of weeds on the plots; the effectiveness of the preparations was more than 70% for different types of weeds
Summary
Winter false flax (Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz.) is a promising oil crop of the Brassicaceae family due to its simple cultivation under various weather conditions in different soil and climatic conditions and early maturity [1]. Most of the preparations currently applied on crops of the Brassicaceae family have a negative effect on the development of false flax plants, often leading to their death [8]. Other scientists have developed mutant lines of false flax that are resistant to the action of imazethapyr and sulfosulfuron [10]. These preparations are not registered for crops of the Brassicaceae family in the Russian Federation. The purpose of the research was to determine the effect of herbicides on winter false flax and to identify the preparation that does not have a negative effect on crop plants
