The substitutive method, in contrast, provides that the final population is constant being a given plant substituted by other of the opposite species when it disappears.For the…

Ethalfluralin has been reported to be a more active herbicide than trifluralin . Ethalfluralin and trifluralin co-applied with halosulfuron can provide effective broad-spectrum control of common annual grass and broadleaf weeds in white bean production in Ontario. However, limited information is available on comparing the efficacy of trifluralin and ethalfluralin applied alone and in combination…
