Abstract

Chlorsulfuron at 0.018 kg ai/ha, metsulfuron at 0.0045 kg ai/ha, and 2,4-D at 1.1 kg ae/ha plus dicamba at 0.28 kg ae/ha were applied over snow-covered winter wheat to study the feasibility of combining herbicides with a graphite snow-removal treatment. Chlorsulfuron or metsulfuron applied on snow effectively controlled annual broadleaf weeds when tank mixed with urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) at 28 kg N/ha and graphite powder at 20 kg/ha. Over-snow treatments of 2,4-D plus dicamba plus UAN did not control weeds. There was no antagonism or synergism among herbicides, UAN, or graphite.
