Weed interference in caupi beans (Vigna unguiculata) grown in Januária, north of Minas Gerais, Brazil

The degree of weed interference in an agricultural crop is influenced by edaphoclimatic characteristics, the management used in the environment and the period of coexistence between the weeds and the crop of interest. This study aimed to determine periods of weed interference in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata - Fabaceae) var. BRS Potengi in the semiarid of northern Minas Gerais, Brazil. Treatments consisted of periods of control and coexistence of cowpea with weeds under irrigated cultivation (0, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, and 77 days after crop emergence). At the end of each period of coexistence and harvest time, weeds were quantified and identified, and dry matter was determined. Stem diameter, number of pods per plant, and grain yield were obtained for cowpea. The main weeds found were Cenchrus echinatus, Panicum maximum, Eleusine indica (Poaceae), and Amaranthus retroflexus (Amaranthaceae). The period before interference (PBI) occurred up to 9 days after emergence, the total period of interference prevention (TPIP) occurred up to 23 days after emergence, and critical period of interference prevention (CPIP) was observed between 9 and 23 days after emergence. Weed interference during the entire cowpea cycle reduced yield by 37% when compared to the control treatment.

Weed interference periods in pre-sprouted sugarcane seedlings

The aim of this study was to determine the period prior to interference (PPI), the critical-period of interference prevention (CPIP), and the total-period of interference prevention (TPIP) in sugarcane in the pre-sprouted seedlings (PSS) system, in coexistence with Cyperus rotundus and other weeds, adopting a loss of 5% in yield. The treatments corresponded to seven coexistence periods and seven weed control periods: 0–30, 0–60, 0–90, 0–120, 0–150, 0–180, and 0–240 days after planting (DAP). The cultivar used was IACSP95-5000. Until 26 DAP, weeds did not compete with sugarcane. From 26 to 68 DAP, weeds competed with sugarcane. Thus, it is considered that from 68 DAP, weed control is no longer necessary because increased periods of control do not result in significant yield gains. The results showed a 26 days PPI, 26–68 days CPIP, and 68 days TPIP, adopting a loss of 5% in yield, for weed competition with sugarcane in the PSS system. There was a reduction of 8.22% in sugarcane yield per day of coexistence and an increase of 11.37% per day of control.

Weed interference capacity on soybean yield

Among biological factors, weeds are the most important limiting factor for crop yields, as well as increasing production costs. The aim was to determine the influence of control and coexistence of weed community on soybean crop yield and to define the period before interference, the critical period of interference prevention and the total period of interference prevention, with the comparative use of chemical and mechanical methods for weed eradication. The study was conducted in an experimental field in the 2018/2019 harvest. A randomized block with four replications was implemented as experimental design, using two methods for control. The evaluated periods were 0-10, 0-20, 0-30, 0-40, 0-50, 0-60 and 130 days after crop emergence. It was possible to observe that the use of the chemical method generated a higher yield compared to mechanical method. The period before the interference in both chemical and mechanical management was similar, approaching 20 days after crop emergence. The critical period of interference prevention was between 20-50 and 40.5 days after crop emergence in chemical and mechanical methods, respectively. The total period of interference prevention was extended to 50 and 40.5 days after crop emergence in chemical and mechanical methods, respectively. The reduction in productivity due to weed interference was 1639 kg ha-1 (55%)and 947 kg ha-1 (34.6%) in chemical and mechanical methods, respectively.

Interference Periods of Raphanus raphanistrum L. in Sunflower Crop

ABSTRACT: Raphanus raphanistrum L. (wild radish) stands out among the weeds that cause greatest damage to the sunflower crop, due to the development cycle and adaptability. The objective of this research was to determine interference periods of sunflower interacting with wild radish, and the effects of competition on yield and its components. The experiment was conducted in the field in a randomized block design with four replications. The treatments were arranged in a factorial design with factor A composed of wild radish coexistence or control in sunflower, and factor B, for eight periods (0, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42 and 135 days after crop emergence). It was evaluated height, diameter of chapters, achene yield and dry matter of weeds and crop. The presence of wild radish adversely affects the accumulation of dry mass, head diameter, thousand grain weight and reduces sunflower productivity when the wild radish interacts during the whole crop cycle, but does not affect on plant height. Chemical control of wild radish may be adopted at the end of period prior to interference, which for sunflower crop is 13 DAE, and the application is sufficient to avoid weed interference until the end of the total period of interference prevention which occurs until 17 days after crop emergence.

Interference of Urochloa plantaginea on Morphophysiology and Yield Components of Black Beans

Among the factors which affect crop productivity, there are weeds which compete for environment resources. The objective of this work was to determine the periods of interference of alexandergrass on the morphophysiology and productivity components of black beans. The experiment was conducted in a complete randomized block design with four replications. The bean cultivar of the black type used was IPR Uirapuru, being the treatments separated in two models of interference: in the coexistence group, the crop of the bean lived with the alexandergrass by growing periods of 0, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42 and throughout the cycledays after emergence and throughout the cycle; in the control group the crop was kept free of the infestation for the same periods described previously. At 42 DAE were evaluated the variables related to plant morphology and physiology (height of bean plants, number of trifoliate leaves, dry mass plant, number of grains pods, number od pods plants, stomatal conductance, internal CO2 concentration, photosynthetic activity, efficiency of carboxylation, efficient use of water, transpiration rate). Considering the results, it is possible to conclude that the critical period of interference prevention (CPIP) comprises 24 to 50 DAE, the period before the interference (PBI) was 24 DAE and the total period of interference prevention (TPIP) was 50 days and that the morphological and physiological variables of the plants were negatively affected in the coexistence with the alexandergrass when compared to the treatments kept free of weeds throughout the crop cycle.

Weed Interference Periods in Pre-Sprouted Sugarcane Seedlings

ABSTRACT: The aim of this research was to determine weed interference periods in sugarcane cultivated under the system of pre-sprouted seedlings, taking into account the impact on the final plant stand, and bud yield and stalk yield. In the field, this study used a randomized block design with 14 treatments and four replications. The treatments consisted of periods of control and weed coexistence with the sugarcane crop (cultivar IACSP95-5000): 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210 and 240 days after planting. A phytosociological survey was carried out in the experimental area, and the species Merremia aegyptia, Urochloa decumbens and Nicandra physaloides were found to be predominant. At the end of 240 days, regression analysis was performed according to Boltzmann’s sigmoidal model and considering loss tolerance of 5% in the evaluated variables. For final plant stand, the period prior to interference was 31 days and the total period of interference prevention was 187 days. For bud yield, the period prior to interference was 23 days and the total period of interference prevention was 178 days. For stalk yield, the period prior to interference was 19 days and the total period of interference prevention was 195 days. Weed interference was detrimental to all evaluated variables, with losses of up to 100% of the sugarcane plants after 120 days of weed coexistence.

WEED INTERFERENCE IN EGGPLANT CROPS

ABSTRACT Uncontrolled weed growth interferes with the growth eggplants and crop yields. To control weeds, the main weed species must be identified in crop growing areas and during weed control periods, as weed species might vary in relation to management practices. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the main weed species and determine the periods of weed interference in the eggplant cultivar Nápoli when grown under certain cultural practices, including plant staking and sprout thinning. The experiment was carried out in 2014 using a randomized complete block design, with 3 replications. The treatments consisted of 11 periods of (1) increasing weed control and (2) increasing coexistence of eggplant with weeds from the first day of transplanting (0-14, 0-28, 0-42, 0-56, 0-70, 0-84, 0-98, 0-112, 0-126, 0-140, and up do day 154). Eggplant staking and sprout thinning were performed 42 days after transplanting (DAT). Weed identification and crop yield assessments were performed to determine the Period Before Interference (PBI), Total Period of Interference Prevention (TPIP), and the Critical Period of Interference Prevention (CPIP). The major weeds found in the eggplant cultivar Nápoli were Eleusine indica, Portulaca oleracea, and Cyperus rotundus. Coexistence between the weed community and the eggplant throughout the entire crop production cycle reduced eggplant fruit yield by 78%. The PBI was 29 DAT and the TPIP was 48 DAT, resulting in 19 days of CPIP.

WEED INTERFERENCE IN COTTON PLANTS GROWN WITH REDUCED SPACING IN THE SECOND HARVEST SEASON

ABSTRACT Changes in row spacing may result in changes in crop and weed behavior and crop-weed competition. A study was performed to determine the periods of weed presence and weed control in cotton sown with 0.76 m spacing between planting rows. Cotton cultivar FM 993 was sown on 01/08/2010 with the aim of reaching a density of 190,000 seeds ha-1. Treatments with either weed presence or weed control during the first 0, 5, 10, 15, 22, 29, 36, 43, 50, 57, 64, 71, and 190 days of cultivation were established to determine the period prior to weed interference (PPI), total period of interference prevention (TPIP) and critical period of weed control (CPWC). The weed species with high relative importance were Amaranthus retroflexus, Bidens pilosa, Eleusine indica, Digitaria horizontalis, Alternanthera tenella, and Commelina benghalensis. Considering a maximum yield loss of 5%, the PPI was established 11 days after cotton emergence (DAE), the TPWC at 46 DAE, and the CPWC between 11 and 46 DAE, for a total duration of 35 days. Considering a maximum acceptable yield loss equal to the standard deviation for the weed-free treatment, the PPI was established at 6 DAE, the TPWC at 55 DAE, and the CPWC between 6 and 55 DAE for a total duration of 49 days

A research was carried out to study phytosociology and to determine the periods of weed interference in the okra crop in organic cropping system. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with 20 treatments and four replications. The treatments were 10 periods of weed coexistence with the crop during 0-7, 0-14, 0-21, 0-28, 0-35, 0-42, 0-49, 0-56, 0-63 and 0-74 days after crop emergence (DAE) and 10 periods weed free during 0-7, 0-14, 0-21, 0-28, 0-35, 0-42, 0-49, 0-56, 0-63 and 0-74 DAE. The weeds were evaluated by the number of individuals and accumulated dry biomass of each population in the treatments. The relative frequency, relative density, relative dominance and importance value index of each species were used to determine the effect the weeds. The most important weeds based on the Importance value index were Commelina benghalensis L., Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers., Eleusine indica L., Phyllanthus niruri L. and Alternanthera tenella Colla. The period prior to interference and the total period of interference prevention were respectively of 12 and 36 days after emergence. The weed community caused yield losses of around 51%. In okra organic cropping system, weed control should be done early to boost okra plant growth in order to provide shade on the weeds to reduce the need for long control period.   Key words: Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench, competition, weed community.

Interferência de plantas daninhas no estabelecimento do trevo branco como cultura forrageira

A interferência das plantas daninhas é um dos principais fatores que influencia no estabelecimento das pastagens e, dentro das pastagens, o trevo branco é uma importante Fabaceae utilizada na alimentação animal. O objetivo deste trabalho foi determinar os períodos de interferência das plantas daninhas sobre o trevo branco, o qual foi submetido a períodos de convivência e de controle do mato. Foram realizados levantamentos fitossociológicos em cada período de convivência da cultura com a comunidade infestante e aos 119 dias para os períodos de controle de convívio. Os dados de produção de matéria seca de trevo branco foram ajustados ao modelo de regressão não linear sigmoidal de Boltzmann, adotando-se um nível de redução da produtividade de 5%. Os resultados revelaram que o período anterior à interferência (PAI) foi de 20 dias após a emergência (DAE), o período total, de prevenção à interferência, foi 82DAE e o período crítico, de prevenção à interferência, foi de 62 dias. As perdas de produtividade por matocompetição podem chegar a 96%, sendo necessário o controle das plantas daninhas aos 20DAE, prolongando-se até aos 62DAE.

Weed interference periods in the 'Fécula Branca' cassava

This study aimed to determine the periods of weed interference in the first cycle of 'Fécula Branca' cassava. The experiment was arranged in a randomized block design, with four repetitions. The treatments consisted of eight periods of weed control (25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, and 175 days after planting - DAP) and eight periods of coexistence between the weed community and the crop (25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, and 175), besides control without weeds and control with weeds until harvest (322 DAP). The predominant weed species with higher relative importance were: Avena sativa, Sorghum halepense, Conyza Canadensis, Euphorbia heterophylla, Raphanus raphanistrum, and Commelina benghalensis. It was concluded that, accepting losses of 1% for root and starch production, the period before interference (PBI) was 66 and 70 DAP; the total period of interference prevention (TPIP) was 88 and 91 DAP and the critical period of interference (CPI) was between 66-88 and 70-91 DAP, respectively. For losses of 5% for root and starch production, the PBI was 87 and 88 DAP, and the TPIP 80 and 81 DAP, respectively; in this case, there was no CPI. Considering the average prices of R$ 218.90 t-1 and R$ 1,191.84 t-1, paid in 2012 for root and starch production, respectively, and control cost of R$ 300.00 ha-1 , the root and starch production for the period prior to economic loss (WEEPPEL) could be estimated to be 20 and 24 DAP, respectively.

Interferência de plantas daninhas na cultura do sorgo cultivado em safrinha

O sorgo apresenta grande importância na economia mundial, como fonte de energia para a alimentação humana e animal. No sudoeste Goiano, apesar de esta cultura apresentar alto potencial produtivo, a produtividade é baixa, fato atribuído, em grande parte, à interferência do manejo inadequado de plantas daninhas. Objetivou-se, nesta pesquisa, determinar os períodos de interferência de plantas daninhas sobre a cultura do sorgo cultivado em safrinha, no município de Rio Verde (GO). Os tratamentos foram constituídos por dez períodos de controle inicial, nos quais a cultura foi mantida livre da comunidade infestante, e dez períodos de convivência inicial da cultura com as plantas daninhas. Os períodos iniciais de controle ou de convivência, após a emergência da cultura, foram: 0-0, 0-7, 0-14, 0-21, 0-28, 0-35, 0-42, 0-49, 0-56 e 0-colheita (112 dias após a emergência - DAE). As espécies de plantas daninhas mais importantes presentes na área experimental foram Amaranthus lividus, Commelina benghalensis, Bidens pilosa, Sida rhombifolia, Urochloa decumbens, Digitaria horizontalis e Portulaca oleracea. A presença de plantas daninhas reduziu a altura de plantas, diâmetro de colmo, rendimento de grãos e a massa de mil grãos de sorgo, sendo maior o grau de interferência com o aumento dos períodos de convivência mútua entre a comunidade infestante e o sorgo. Considerando-se 5% de tolerância na redução da produtividade do sorgo, concluiu-se que o período anterior à interferência foi até os 23 DAE, o período total de prevenção da interferência até os 42 DAE e o período crítico de prevenção da interferência dos 23 aos 42 DAE.

Períodos de interferência de plantas daninhas na cultura do quiabo

Poucas pesquisas têm sido realizadas sobre interferência de plantas daninhas na cultura do quiabo. Objetivou-se com este trabalho estimar os períodos de interferência da comunidade infestante no quiabeiro. Um experimento de campo foi conduzido sob dois grupos de tratamentos, mantendo períodos crescentes de 0 (testemunha), 7, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 63, 77, 91 e 105 dias após a emergência da cultura (DAE), com e sem controle das plantas daninhas. As plantas daninhas com maior importância relativa foram Portulaca oleracea, Nicandra physaloides e Eleusine indica. A convivência do quiabeiro com as plantas daninhas por todo o ciclo de cultivo reduziu a produtividade da cultura em 95%. O período anterior à interferência foi de 57 DAE, enquanto o período total de prevenção à interferência foi de 14 DAE. Não houve período crítico de prevenção à interferência, sendo um único controle das plantas daninhas entre 14 e 57 DAE suficiente para prevenir a interferência na cultura do quiabo.

Efeitos de períodos de controle e de convivência de plantas daninhas na cultura da alface

The effects of different control periods and the presence of weeds in lettuce, cv. Elisa, were evaluated. The treatments consisted of maintaining the culture in the presence or absence of weeds for periods of 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42 e 49 days after transplantation. A control period of 14 days was enough for the crop to show its productive potential. For crescent periods in the presence of weeds, the crop can live with the infesting community for a period of 28 days without yield reduction. Thus, the duration of the total period of interference prevention (TPIP) was 14 days, and the period that precedes the interference (PPI) was of 28 days, showing that just one elimination of weeds in the interval between the end of TPIP and the end of PPI, that is, between 14 and 28 days, would be enough to prevent interference.

Períodos de interferência de Brachiaria plantaginea na cultura do milho na região Sul do Rio Grande do Sul

Os períodos de convivência das espécies daninhas têm grande influência no crescimento das plantas e na produtividade das culturas. Desse modo, objetivou-se com este trabalho determinar os períodos de competição, anterior à interferência (PAI), o crítico de prevenção à interferência (PCPI) e o período total de prevenção da interferência (PTPI) de B. plantaginea sobre a cultura do milho na Região Sul do Rio Grande do Sul. Adotou-se o delineamento experimental de blocos casualizados, no sistema de cultivo convencional com quatro repetições. Os tratamentos consistiram em manter a cultura do milho na presença e ausência de B. plantaginea por 0, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35 e 42 dias após a emergência (DAE) da cultura. B. plantaginea originou-se do banco de sementes do solo, com população média de 312 plantas m-2. Foram amostradas e analisadas 10 plantas de milho em cada unidade experimental, com vistas à avaliação da altura de plantas e da inserção da espiga (cm), do comprimento de espigas (cm), do número de fileiras por espiga, número de grãos por fileira e número de grãos por espiga, além da produtividade de grãos, que foi determinada pela colheita de três linhas centrais da área útil em cada unidade experimental. Considerando 5% de tolerância na redução da produção, conclui-se que o período total de prevenção à interferência (PTPI) foi de 27 DAE; o período que antecede a interferência (PAI), de 11 DAE; e o período crítico de prevenção à interferência (PCPI), de 11 a 27 DAE.

Interferência das plantas daninhas no feijoeiro carioca

Este trabalho foi realizado com o objetivo de determinar os períodos de interferência das plantas daninhas na cultura do feijoeiro (Phaseolus vulgaris) plantado em janeiro. A semeadura do cv. Carioca foi feita no sistema convencional e os tratamentos constaram de dois grupos: no primeiro, a cultura do feijão permaneceu livre da interferência das plantas daninhas desde a emergência até 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 e 70 dias (todo o ciclo da cultura); no segundo, a cultura permaneceu sob interferência desde a semeadura até os mesmos períodos descritos anteriormente, totalizando assim 14 tratamentos. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi o de blocos casualizados com quatro repetições. A comunidade infestante foi composta por 13 espécies, com Alternanthera tenella, Blaenvillea rhomboidea e Cenchrus echinatus se destacandodas demais, representando 63,4% do total de indivíduos. O período anterior à interferência (PAI) ocorreu até os 17 dias após emergência da cultura, e o período total de prevenção à interferência (PTPI) ocorreu até 25 dias após a emergência da cultura. A interferência das plantas daninhas durante todo o ciclo de vida do feijoeiro reduziu-lhe a produtividade em 67%.

Efeitos de épocas de capinas e da adubação nitrogenada em cobertura sobre os componentes de produção do feijoeiro: II - cultivo da "seca"

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar os efeitos da adubação nitrogenada em cobertura após a capina, realizada em diferentes épocas, sobre os componentes de produção de três cultivares de feijão (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), no cultivo da "seca". O número de vagens por hectare (NVHA) foi o componente primário de produção mais prejudicado pela competição de plantas daninhas durante todo o ciclo de vida do 'Ouro'e do 'Ouro Negro'. Em todos os experimentos, os atrasos na capina proporcionaram aumento da cobertura real de plantas daninhas, o que causou diminuição da produtividade de grãos (PG) e do NVHA na presença de nitrogênio em cobertura. Nos três cultivares, o nitrogênio aplicado em cobertura promoveu aumentos de PG, NVHA e do peso de 100 grãos (P100G) e promoveu, também, aumento do número grãos por vagem no 'Novo Jalo'. O nitrogênio aplicado em cobertura imediatamente após a capina, realizada com atraso de dez dias, em relação ao período total de prevenção de interferência, que é de 30 dias para a cultura do feijão, não foi capaz de proporcionar recuperação total da capacidade produtiva dos feijoeiros.

Capina e adubação nitrogenada em cobertura realizada em diferentes estádios de desenvolvimento do feijoeiro: III - Cultivo de "inverno"

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar os efeitos da adubação nitrogenada em cobertura após a capina, realizada em diferentes épocas na cultura do feijão (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), de três tipos de hábito de crescimento, no cultivo de "inverno". O estudo foi feito durante dois anos, utilizando-se três cultivares, no primeiro ano: Novo Jalo (tipo I), Ouro (tipo II) e Ouro Negro (tipo III) e dois, no segundo ano: Ouro e Ouro Negro. Cada cultivar constituiu um experimento. Os tratamentos foram constituídos por seis épocas de capina, duas doses de nitrogênio em cobertura, tendo como fonte o sulfato de amônio, e dois tratamentos adicionais, dispostos em blocos casualizados, em esquema fatorial (6 x 2) + 2, com quatro repetições. Na testemunha com capina e na testemunha sem capina, o nitrogênio foi distribuído no estádio V3. A competição com plantas daninhas durante todo o ciclo da cultura causou redução em todos os componentes primários de produção do ‘Ouro Negro’, apenas no número de grãos por vagem do ‘Novo Jalo’ e na massa de 100 grãos do ‘Ouro’. Nos três cultivares, o nitrogênio em cobertura promoveu aumentos no rendimento de grãos e do número de vagens por hectare e somente não aumentou a massa de 100 graõs no ‘Novo Jalo’. O nitrogênio aplicado em cobertura imediatamente após a capina, realizada com atraso de dez dias, em relação ao período total de prevenção de interferência, proporcionou recuperação total da capacidade produtiva dos feijoeiros.
