Broadleaf weed control in chickpeas (Cicer arietinum), faba beans (Vicia faba) and lentils (Lens culinaris)
Acta Agronomica Hungarica 51 (4), 437-444
Abstract: Field experiments were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of herbicides applied alone or in combination for broadleaf weed control in chickpeas, faba beans and lentils. Herbicide applications of metribuzin pre-emergence; pendimethalin pre-emergence; bentazon post-emergence; metribuzin pre-emergence followed by bentazon post emergence; and pendimethalin pre-emergence followed by bentazon post-emergence were examined and compared to weedy and hand-weeded plots. In chickpeas, metribuzin provided substantial control of broadleaf weeds; however, some injury was observed. Preemergence applications in faba beans provided substantial control of broadleaf weeds, and the bean yield was comparable to hand-weeded plots. No additional advantage was observed from combining bentazon with pre-emergence applications. Lentil plants were sensitive to herbicide applications, which caused crop injury and reduced the seed yield significantly.
