Abstract

The interaction of DPX-A7881 and clopyralid applied as tank mixtures was studied under controlled environment and field conditions on several commonly occurring weeds in canola. Control of wild mustard and wild buckwheat was not affected by mixing these herbicides. DPX-A7881 controlled wild mustard, and clopyralid controlled wild buckwheat independently of the other herbicide. However, redroot pigweed and common lambsquarters were controlled better with DPX-A7881 plus clopyralid than with either herbicide alone. The herbicides interacted in an additive to synergistic manner on redroot pigweed depending on the rate of each herbicide. DPX-A7881 and clopyralid interacted synergistically at all rates on common lambsquarters. Plant height, date of flowering, seed yield, and quality data all indicated that canola completely tolerated DPX-A7881 and clopyralid applied alone or in combination.
