Abstract
The controlled environment experiments were carried out to evaluate the activity of tribenuron methyl applied under different climate and soil conditions depending on herbicide rate and application method. The herbicide was applied at two doses (15 and 7.5 g/ha), single and in the mixture with adjuvant Trend 90 EC. It was applied against plants of Anthemis arvensis L. and Papaver rhoeas L. that differed in plant moisture status (dry and wet plants) and type of soil (black soil and podsolic soil). Plant moisture status at the time of herbicide treatment differentiated activity of tribenuron methyl applied as single dosage against examined weed species, especially P. rhoeas. Greater efficacy was obtained when plants were wet during application time. Joint application of herbicide and adjuvant overcame differences in herbicide efficacy related to plant moisture status. Tribenuron methyl applied against both weed species growing on black soil was highly effective, independently on dose and application method. Weeds growing on podsolic soil were less controlled by herbicide used at single dosage than in the mixture with adjuvant. Differences in dose activity were observed, especially in the case of single application.
