Efficacy of Tank Mixtures of Sulfosulfuron with Clodinafop and Fenoxaprop on Weeds in Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Tank mixture of clodinafop+sulfosulfuron (3: 1) at 60 g ha⁻¹ and fenoxaprop+sulfosulfuron (4: 1 and 5: I) at 120 g ha⁻¹ provided 85–90% control of Avena ludoviciana and Phalaris minor and 60% control of broadleaf weeds like Chenopodium album. Melilotus indica and Rumex retroflexus. None of the herbicide combinations was effective against Convolvulus arvensis. Clodinafop+sulfosulfuron at lower dose of 50 g ha⁻¹ and fenoxaprop+sulfosulfuron at 100 g ha⁻¹ although provided good control of broadleaf weeds but poor control of grassy weeds. Maximum grain yield (5240 kg ha⁻¹) was obtained in weed free treatment which was at par with clodinafop+sulfosulfllron (3: 1) at 60 g ha⁻¹ and fenoxaprop+slllfoslllfuron (4: 1 or 5: 1) at 120 g ha⁻¹.
