Abstract

The effect of glyphosate applied as a desiccant to field bindweed-infested alfalfa in the final year of seed production was examined in field experiments near Lovelock, NV. Glyphosate at 2.5 and 5.0 kg ae/ha flat fan applied was equal to and/or superior to dinoseb for desiccation of foliage, respectively. Alfalfa seed yield and quality following glyphosate treatment were similar to that of dinoseb-treated alfalfa. Glyphosate treatment reduced some alfalfa and field bindweed stands. A beneficial interaction between low-volume control droplet application (CDA) and glyphosate was not evident.
