Abstract/Summary

As a prelude to leaf-specific weed control using droplets targeted by a robotic weeder, amounts of herbicide required to control individual weed seedlings were estimated. Roundup Biactive was applied at doses equivalent to 1/128th to four times the recommended rate in addition to undiluted Roundup and water controls. Based on the mean ground cover of the seedlings, the recommended dose (1.5 l ha 1) was estimated and droplets were applied to individual plants by micropipette. All treatments contained 1% AS 500 SL, Agromix (adjuvant). Three weeks after application dry weights (DW) of each seedling was recorded. DW reductions of 50% were achieved in the five species tested at less than the recommended rate whereas only in one species was a 90% reduction obtained at that rate. In Galium aparine for example, 19.3 μg of glyphosate reduced DW per plant by 90% compared to the recommended dose of 8.4 μg.
