Evaluation of sulfosulfuron for broadleaved and grass weed control in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in Iran

Three experiments were conducted during 2003-2004 at different locations in Iran to compare the efficacy of sulfosulfuron at 15, 19.95, and 24.90 g ai/ha as a new dual purpose herbicide with some currently applied herbicides including tribenuron methyl, clodinafop propargyl, diflufenican plus isoproturon as a dual purpose herbicide, and tank mix of clodinafop propargyl plus tribenuron methyl. Herbicides were sprayed during wheat tillering. Results indicated that sulfosulfuron at 19.95 and 24.90 g ai/ha were suitable options for broadleaved and grass weed control in wheat, so that currently applied herbicides (clodinafop propargyl and tribenuron methyl) could be replaced by these two options.
