The treatments were performed through different herbicide programs or combinations of herbicide applications, as described in Table 2.

[0205] Sowing was carried out under no-till system by distributing 16 seeds per meter of a Cultivance® soybean variety (BRZ 09-1882) in all Onduty® treatments and also 16 seeds m " 1 of a second soybean cultivar {BMX Potência RR) in the other treatments Immediately before sowing, the seeds of both cultivars were treated with the Standak® Top insecticide (200 ml_ per hectare) and inoculated with Biomax (300 ml_ per 100 kg of seed) The fertilization of the cultures was carried out with 200 kg ha -1 of a commercial NPK formulation (00-18-18).

Table 1 Descriptive Details Regarding Herbicide Application Performed DURING THIS EXPERIMENT

[0206] Tables 3 and 4 contain all data regarding temperature, relative humidity and precipitation and product description (common names, chemical names, chemical groups, mechanisms of action, herbicide toxicological classes) used in this work.

[0207] A randomized block design was used with 10 treatments (7 treatments with Cultivance variety and 3 treatments with BMX Potency RR variety) and four replications. The experimental plot consisted of seven rows of planting spaced 0.45 m apart and 5.0 m long (20.0 m2). The area used for all assessments on each site was within the five central planting rows of each site except 1.0 m from each end.

[0208] Weed infestation through application “A” is described in Table 1. After the first application (application “A”), two evaluations were performed regarding the effect of treatments on weeds that emerged in that application. For these evaluations, infestation of untreated controls was used as a reference. These evaluations were determined as the percentage of control (0 to 100% visual scale, where 0% means no symptoms and 100% means total weed control) at 17 and 25 days after “A” application (DAA- THE).

[0209] Another evaluation was performed after the second application (five days before soybean sowing, application “B”) to analyze the effect of treatments on the control of the remaining emerged flora (Conyza spp. And D. insularis) at the time of application. . For this evaluation, the same visual scale from 0 to 100% was used and weed control efficiency was evaluated five days after “B” application (5 DAA-B).

[0210] After sowing and application “C” (“plant-and-appiy '), another set of three weed control assessments (07, 22 and 42 DAA-C) were also performed using the same visual rating scale. For evaluations at 22 and 42 DAA-C, a weed count was also performed. For this, each plot was randomly sampled (0.5 x 0.5 m) four times and the results were converted to emerged plant density (m 2 plants).

[0211] A final weed control and weed count evaluation was performed 18 days after “D” application (18 DAA-D).

With regard to soy selectivity, assessments were performed at 7, 15 and 45 days after emergence (DAE) by the EWRC 1-9 scale (EWRC, 1964), where 1 represents no symptoms and 9 represents the death of the vegetable. After the end of the experiment all remaining vegetables in the experimental area were mechanically destroyed.

Data were subjected to analysis of variance by the F test and means were compared by the Scott-Knott test at 5% and 20% probability. In addition, the coefficient of variation (CV) is indicated.

Digitaria insularis control (a) D. insularis control between application “A” and application “B”.

[0214] Data on D. insularis control obtained from two evaluations performed after the first herbicide application (“A” application) are presented in Table 5. Statistical analysis was calculated at two significance levels for the usual probability of 5% and the probability of 20%. However, the discussion of weed control in text analysis is guided by a 20% probability, due to the higher discriminatory power and precision in the significant differences found.

At 25 DAA-A, the control levels provided by the addition of 150 g ha-1 of Onduty® were superior to other treatments, and provided a control of 86.50% when associated with Aramo and 87.50%. , when associated with Select.

[0216] Visual evaluation of the size of new shoots on this date (25 DAA-A) revealed that the average new growth in vegetables from CP Onduty® 150 g ha "1 treatment was at most 5 cm, independently of cyclohexanedione (Aramo or Select);

In this sense, the addition of Onduty® to the Select and Aramo cyclohexanediones not only improved D. insularis control but also promoted a substantial suppression of new weed growth, which is a very important attribute due to the large ability of these species to regress. (b) Control of D. insularis between application “B” and soybean sowing (application “C” - “plant-and-apply”).

[0218] Table 6 contains the D. insularis control results in the evaluation performed immediately prior to soybean sowing (5 DAA-B). Again, the best control levels were observed in the treatments receiving application “A”, the combination of Onduty® at 150 g cp ha "1 with any cyclohexadione or Onduty® at 100 g cpha" 1 associated with Select (T2, T5 and T6). A second good control group consisted of treatment that was associated with Onduty® at 100 g cp ha "1 for Aramo (T3), and treatment without the addition of BAS71400H but with two applications of Select (T10). (C) D. insularis control between soybean sowing (“C” application) and post-emergence (“D”) application [0219] D. insularis control results obtained in three evaluations after application “C” are found Tables 7 and 8. Based on Table 8, at the first assessment, 7 DAA-C, again the best controls were observed for Onduty® treatments in application “A”, regardless of dose (control> 93.00%). .

Following the evaluation, 22 DAA-C, the efficiency of treatments receiving 100 g of Onduty® cp ha "1 at the time of application“ A ”was observed to reach 82.50% when combined with Aramo and 85.00% when combined with Select.

At 42 DAA-C, the time of postemergence application in some treatments was carried out another weed control evaluation. The compositions containing Onduty® at 150 g cp ha "1 in application“ A ”achieved 94.00% weed control in association with Aramo and 90.00% in association with Select. 100 g cp ha "1 in application“ A ”, both with Aramo and Select, provided 80.00% weed control efficiency.

Another aspect evaluated was the residual effect on the new emergence flows of D. insularis. The weed counts results are in Tables 9 and 10 and the results are expressed in terms of live plant density in each treatment at 22 and 42 DAA-C.

[0223] Onduty® offers excellent residual control, allowing 85 to 90% reduction in emergence of new vegetables within the crop cycle. This lower vegetable density in Onduty® treatments leads to a much more comfortable and efficient post-emergence application, which positively influences final control. Residual control also assists in soil seed bank control, which may have positive implications for long-term area management. (d) D. insularis control between application “D” and mechanical crop destruction.

The results of D. insularis control after application “D” are shown in Table 11. The best treatments were those receiving 150 g cp ha "1 of Onduty® in application“ A ”, despite cyclohexanedione (control of 96.00% with Aramo and 94.50% with Select);

On the same date, 18 DAA-D, a new weed count of emerged vegetables of D. insularis was performed (Table 12). There was a flow of new vegetables in all treatments, however, in all treatments containing Onduty®, despite the dose and time of application, densities were always lower, showing some control of this herbicide.

Looking at the general context of control of D. insularis, it seems evident that the combination of Onduty® especially at 150 g cp ha "1 applied 30 days prior to soybean sowing (although cyclohexadione was used) was highly beneficial in the field. This gain comes from the combined benefit of new slow growth of mature vegetables and reduced emergence of new streams due to the residual effect found in all treatments in which Onduty® was applied.

Conyza control spp (a) Conyza control spp. between application “A” and application “B”.

[0227] The control data of Conyza spp. The two evaluations performed after application “A” are shown in Table 13. At 17 DAA-A, all herbicide combinations showed good levels of control (from 83.75% to 94.25). At 25 DAA-A, control levels remained stable in Onduty®-containing treatments, regardless of dose (control range 82.50 to 85.00%). (b) control of Conyza spp. between application “B” and sowing of soybean (application “C” - “plant-and-apply”).

[0228] Data compiled from Conyza spp. Control results. at pre-sowing evaluation (5 DAA-B) are shown in Table 14. (c) Conyza spp. between soybean sowing (“C” application) and post-emergence (“D”) application [0229] Control results from Conyza spp. obtained in three evaluations after application “C” are found in Table 5.

At 22 DAA-C, the efficiency of sequential application of Heat associated with Onduty® (despite the dose) remained above 97.00%, [0231] In the 42-C DAA evaluation, treatments with one application Heat associated with Onduty® reached> 96.75% control levels. (d) Control of Conyza spp. between application “D” and mechanical destruction of crops.

[0232] The Control Results of Conyza spp. after application “D” are in Table 16.

At 18 DAA-D, the best treatments were those that received the sequential application of Heat associated with Onduty®, despite their dose (control> 97.50%);

Selectivity for Cultivance Soy [0234] In all three evaluations performed after crop emergence (7, 15 and 45 DAE), no visual injury was found (data not shown) in Cultivance® cv. and in BMX Potência RR, suggesting that all herbicides and associations were safe for soy.

Example 2 [0235] Location: The study was conducted in Brazil.

Treatments: All evaluated treatments are presented in Table 16.

Table 16 Treatments. Herbicide Dosages / Rates and Stage of Application Method [0237] All treatments were applied to established postemergence weeds prior to weeds flowering. The treatments were applied using the backpressure equipment (TEEJET8002 nozzles) with a water consumption of 150 liters per hectare, 1.2 BAR.

Experimental Design [0238] The treatments were located in a randomized block design with three replications. Each plot was 3 meters wide and 6 meters long, which is 18 m2 per plot and 57 m2 per treatment.

Evaluation and Evaluated Criteria [0239] Evaluations were performed 7, 14, 21, 28, 35 and 42 days after application (“DAA”), ie measuring the control of Trichachne insularis (Digitaria insularis) and its regrowth. The assessment consisted of a level of visual weed control where 0% refers to no control and 100% total weed control. Regrowth was evaluated by comparing the emergence of new tillers in treatments versus the emergence of new tillers in verification (untreated control).

Data Analysis [0240] An analysis was performed for the viability rates applied by a variance analysis and the Student - Newman-Keuls comparison test (P = 0.5) with the ARM ® statistical analysis package.

Results [0241] Adding Select and Onduty® to glyphosate increases D. insularis control and reduces regrowth in all evaluations. The 3-way mixture (Onduty® + Select + Glyphosate) shows the best residual effect on control and regrowth and good control in all evaluations (See Tables 17 and 18).
