In Egypt, citrus is infested with different species of annual weeds such as jungle rice (Echinochloa colonum L. Link), green foxtail (Setaria viridis L. Beauv.) and black nightshade (Solanum nigrum). The present study was designed to determine the LC 25, LC50 and LC 90 of herbazed and gramoxone on the three weed species. Also, as measured by the reduction in the fresh, dry weights and length of weeds 7, 42 and 84 days post-treatment with herbicides which tested alone and in mixture during 2000 and 2001 seasons. The LC 90 values of herbazed and gramoxone were 114 and 103.1 g a.i./f. for E. colonum, 190.5 and 125.2 g a.i./f. for S. viridis and 154 and 165.0 g a.i./f. for S. nigrum. The LC 50 values of the same herbicides were 62 and 58.4 g a.i./f. for E. colonum, 104.3 and 67.7 g a.i./f. for S. viridis and 83 and 90.4 g a.i./f. for S. nigrum, respectively and LC 25 values were 31 and 29.9 g a.i./f. for E. colonum, 52 and 33.6 g a.i./f. for S. viridis and 42 and 46.2 g a.i./f. for S. nigrum of herbazed and gramoxone. The results showed that herbazed and gramoxone at the three rates caused significant effects on the tested weeds. The combination of the two herbicides gave excellent control of weeds compared with the single compound. The mixture of herbazed and gramoxone at the rates of LC 50 and LC 90 gave the best result 84 days after application, when the highest effect on fresh and dry weight of weeds in two seasons was recorded. All herbicides treatments demonstrated better control of S. nigrum than S. viridis and E. colonum. Insignificant effects were observed on fruit weight, juice fruit and vitamin C in citrus fruits after application of herbicides in both seasons. |
