Abstract
ALS inhibiting herbicides exhibit high bioactivity at low concentrations and may persist in the soil. To examine possible interactions between two different residues present together in the soil, field and lab tests were performed in three contrasting Saskatchewan soils. Field plots using Roundup Ready canola were used to assess residual effects of combinations of ALS inhibiting herbicides applied to peas and wheat in the previous two years. A root length inhibition bioassay based on oriental mustard was used to test for residual herbicide phytotoxicity in samples of soil from field and lab-spiked soils from the three study sites. The field plots were sprayed initially
with imazamox/imazethapyr, and followed by imazamethabenz, flucarbazone-sodium,
sulfosulfuron, or florasulam in the second growing season. Soil samples were taken from the plots after the second growing season for the bioassay test. To determine the interactions (antagonistic, additive, or synergistic) between the herbicides investigated, Colby’s equation was applied to the bioassay results. In field samples, the results to date have indicated additive and potential synergistic interactions for the same herbicide combinations in different soils.
