Effect of selected sugar beet herbicides on germination of various Chenopodium album populations.
Seeds of various fat-hen populations (Chenopodium album L.), mostly originating from sugar beet fields, were subjected to treatments with the following herbicides: metamitron, acetochlor, dimethenamid-P and S-metolachlor. Herbicides were applied either incorporated into a sandy Loam soil (2005-2007) and/or on filter paper in Petri dishes (2006-2007). Results between experiments were highly contrasting. Soil applications of metamitron, acetochlor and S-metolachlor were stimulating germination in the 2005 experiments, whereas in the 2006-2007 experiments effects were ranging from slightly stimulating to highly inhibitory.
