Weed management under soybean (Glycine max) no-tillage cultivated over millet (Pennisetum maximum)

The aim of this study was to evaluate different types of management methods under soybean no-tillage cultivated over pearl millet straw (managed with cutting-roller or glyphosate). Two experiments were carried out with two soybean cultivars (Conquista and Celeste) and post-emergence application of the formulated mixture of the herbicides fluazifop-p-butyl + fomesafen (0, 100+125 and 200+250 g ha-1 ). Conjoined variance analysis of the experiments showed predominance of different weed species over pearl millet management with the greatest infestation of the former being verified under cutting-roller management associated to control absence in the soybean crop. The fluazifop-p-butyl + fomesafen dose may be reduced for weed control in soybean provided it is preceded by glyphosate application to form pearl millet straw. Under this condition, greater weed control was verified in relation to mechanic management (cutting-roller), resulting in greater crop yield, due to the greater amount of pod per plant and grain per pod.
