application rate; application timing; broadleaf weeds; buckwheat; clopyralid; field experimentation; leaching; sandy loam soils; weed control
Abstract:
... At present there are no herbicides registered for broadleaf weed control in buckwheat. Clopyralid, mixed with desmedipham, was anticipated to provide early-season broadleaf weed suppression with minimal crop injury. However, field trials resulted in limited success which brought to question the fate and availability of clopyralid for weed control. A 4-year field study was conducted in Lithuania to ...
