One of the problem weeds of Mauritius is D. horizontalis which occurs in all climatic regions of the country. Many chemical treatments have been tested in pre and post-emergence of this grass weed growting in fields of cane plant. In pre-emergence, very good control has been achieved by spraying Metribuzin (Sencor) or a mixture of Diuron and Metribuzin. In post-emergence, good control was obtained with mixtures of Metribuzin or Diuron with Ioxynin + 2, 4-D when the g rass was young. However when the weed was at an advanced stage of growth, the only chemical which gave very satisfactory control was Asulam. MSMA did not give adequate weed control whereas mixtures of Metribuzin and Diuron with the non-phytotoxic soil Seppic IIE were completely ineffective. | |
