Options for common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.) control

Abstract

Programmes of common ragweed control are primarily targeting to reduce its populations over a number of years and to put their abundance below threshold of harm. It is believed that a period of five years of constant control is required before visible results could be expected in bringing down its abundance in any particular site. Common ragweed control involves a variety of measures: administrative, mechanical, chemical or biological, as well as cultural practices. Depending on a surrounding crop, a variety of herbicides have been made available to control the species successfully: glyphosate, isoxaflutole, acetochlor + isoxaflutole, isoxaflutole + terbuthylazine, dicamba, fluroxypyr, bentazone + dicamba, prosulfuron, foramsulfuron + iodosulfuron-methyl-Na, topramezone, topramezone + dicamba, tritosulfuron + dicamba, triasulfuron + dicamba, S-metolachlor + mesotrion e+ terbuthylazine, lactophen, fomesafen, clopyralid, clopyralid + phenmedipham + desmedipham, triflusulfuron + phenmedipham + desmedipham + clopyralid, etc.

Osnovni cilj programa suzbijanja ambrozije (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.) je smanjivanje njene populacije iz godine u godinu i dovođenje njene brojnosti ispod praga štetnosti. Smatra se da je potreban period od pet godina perma- nentnog suzbijanja ambrozije da bi se dobili vidni efekti u smanjenju brojnosti ove vrste na jednom terenu. Za suzbijanje ambrozije koriste se administrativne, agrotehničke, mehaničke, hemijske i biološke mere. U zavisnosti od vrste useva postoji veliki izbor herbicida kojima se ova korovska vrsta uspešno može suzbijati: glifosat, izoksaflutol, acetohlor + izoksaflutol, izoksaflutol + terbutilazin, dikamba, fluroksipir, bentazon + dikamba, prosulfuron, foramsulfuron + jodosulfuron-metil-Na, topramezon, topramezon + dikamba, tritosulfuron + dikamba, triasulfuron + dikamba, S-metolahlor+mezotrion+terbutilazin, laktofen, fomesafen, klopiralid, klopiralid + fenmedifam + desmedifam, triflusulfuron + fenmedifam + desmedifam + klopiralid i dr.
