| Exploratory work on the use of the substituted uracils has indicated that these herbicides might cause severe injury to plant canes if heavy rains are experienced within the first fortnight after herbicide application or if the plant is growing under conditions of water stress. There are indications, however, that plant canes may offer a fair degree of tolerance to these herbicides at rates of application lower than 0.8 lb per acre particularly in the humid zone. Ratoon canes were, in general, more tolerant to the substituted uracils than plant canes, and rates of application up to 1.6 lb per acre might be used with no apparent harmful effects. However, when these herbicides are used in combination with DCMU, this rate of application has to be lowered to 0.8 lb per acre to avoid damaging the canes. Bromacil was, in general, more effective than Isocil both when used alone and in combinations with DCMU, and the best treatment was a combination consisting of 0.8 Bromacil with 2.4 lb DCMU per acre. Mixtures of substituted uracils with DCMU exercised their phytotoxic effect over a broader weed spectrum than either of the herbicides used alone. | |
