Control of paspalum maritimum in mature rubber plantings

Abstract

A comparison of the effectiveness of different doses and techniques of application of Glyphosate and Dalapon-Na alone or in combination with MSMA. Complete eradication was obtained with a single 3 l/ha application of Glyphosate. Good results were achieved with 3 kg/ha of Dalapon-Na at a lower cost than Glyphosate. The chemical methods proved, to be less costly and more efficient than mechanical weeding.
