Clacyfos EC was tested in wheat field at 990-3,750 mL/ha (300-1,125 g ai/ha) when weeds were at 2-8 leaves stage. 13 % MCPA (aqua) 3,750 mL/ha and 10 % tribenuron methyl WP 150 mL/ha, at the recommended rates, were used as the positive controls. A preponderance of weeds in this wheat field were flixweed tansymustard Descurainia Sophia), shepherd s purse Capsella bursa-pastoris), and chickweed Stellaria media). There were also little wild oats (Avena fatua), cleavers Galium aparine) and others. As shown in Table 8.13, after 50 days, clacyfos exhibited 91 % total control at 450 g ai/ha against weeds in this wheat field. The yield of wheat could rise to 6,495 kg/ha which is increased 19 % comparing to the negative imtreated (5,430 kg/ha). However, the yield of wheat...
