EVALUATION OF VARIOUS TRICLOPYR, CARFENTRAZONE-ETHYL, AND<br />

GLYPHOSATE COMBINATIONS POST-APPLIED ON JAPANESE KNOTWEED,<br />

INCLUDING THE EXPERIMENTAL HERBICIDE F-4113. A.Z. Skibo and M.A.<br />

ABSTRACT<br />

A field study was conducted over 2005-2006 to evaluate <strong>the</strong> single season<br />

efficacy <strong>of</strong> selected POST-applied triclopyr, carfentrazone-ethyl, and glyphosate<br />

combinations on Japanese knotweed (Polygonum cuspidatum syn fallopia japonica<br />

syn reynoutria japonica). Data collected included percent visual control (0-100%) at<br />

7, 14, 21, and 28 DAT, fresh weights consisting <strong>of</strong> all above ground biomass, taken<br />

as three m2 sub-samples per plot, were collected 28 DAT and 218 DAT (30 DAE)<br />

and weighed, <strong>the</strong>n dried to a constant moisture and dry weights were recorded.<br />

Data were subjected to generalized linear model (GLM). Treatment means were<br />

separated using Duncan's multiple range test at <strong>the</strong> 0.05 level <strong>of</strong> significance. There<br />

was no significant difference between <strong>the</strong> herbicide treatments <strong>of</strong> triclopyr plus<br />

carfentrazone-ethyl with COC (0.56 and 0.28, 0.093 kg ai/ha, 1% v/v respectively),<br />

91% and 88% control 28 DAT respectively, <strong>the</strong> combinations <strong>of</strong> triclopyr plus<br />

carfentrazone-ethyl plus mesotrione with COC (0.14, 0.093, 0.105 kg ai/ha, 1% v/v<br />

respectively), 81% control 28 DAT, and <strong>the</strong> prepackaged mixture <strong>of</strong> glyphosate and<br />

carfentrazone-ethyl with COC (5.6, 0.22 kg ai/ha, 1% v/v, respectively), 73% control<br />

28 DAT. Slightly less control was obtained when applying triclopyr alone with COC<br />

(0.56 Kg ai/ha, 1% v/v respectively).<br />

The treatments providing <strong>the</strong> best control 218 DAT/30 DAE were <strong>the</strong><br />

combinations <strong>of</strong> glyphosate plus carfentrazone-ethyl with COC (5.6, 0.22 kg ai/ha,<br />

1% v/v) and all three glyphosate treatments (1.85, 3.1, 3.65 kg ai/ha). There was no<br />

significant difference between rates <strong>of</strong> glyphosate applied alone suggesting that <strong>the</strong><br />

lowest rate, 1.85 kg ai/ha, is adequate for <strong>the</strong> control <strong>of</strong> Japanese knotweed. All <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r treatments were relatively ineffective in controlling Japanese knotweed<br />

regrowth <strong>the</strong> following season (2006).<br />
