| description | The combination of mulch and herbicide is a promising method for weed control which could reduce the frequency of
hand weeding. This study was conducted to evaluate the phytotoxic effects of Elaeis guneensis var. tenera (oil palm)
frond (OPF) mulch in combination with several pre emergence herbicides on the inhibition of goosegrass (Eleusine
indica (L.) Gaertn), slender cyperus (Cyperus distans L.f.) and coat buttons (Tridax procumbens (L.)) under greenhouse
conditions. Three rates of dinoterb, oxyfluorfen, and isoxaflutole were respectively, applied with or without OPF
mulch at 3.5 t ha−1. The results showed that the weed inhibition provided by the dinoterb-treated OPF mulch (60 to
100%) was greater than dinoterb (0 to 50%) or OPF mulch (0 to 60%) applied alone across all the application rates
and bioassay species. The oxyfluorfen-treated OPF mulch also gave greater inhibition (70 to 90%) of T. procumbens
than those provided by oxyfluorfen (20 to 40%) or the OPF mulch alone (55 to 60%). However, an increase in inhibition
of C. distans and E. indica was only evident at a low rate of oxyfluorfen when combined the OPF mulch. Weed
inhibition was noted with increasing rates of isoxaflutole alone but the isoxaflutole-treated OPF mulch did not lead
to further inhibition of weeds except for T. procumbens. These results suggest that the phytotoxicity of OPF mulch in
combination with herbicides are dependent on weed species, herbicides, and application rates, with dinoterb being the
most compatible with OPF mulch when combined |
