A trial was carried out to evaluate Pinus caribea Morelet var. hondurensis Barr. et Golf. selectivity and weed control with oxyfluorfen formulated at 480 (SC) and 240 g/l (EC) of active ingredient (a.i.). Treatments were sprayed on seedlings at the moment of transplanting and 12 days after. Results showed that oxyfluorfen 480 (SC) g/l was very similar to oxyfluorfen at 240 g/l (EC) and both formulations were efficient to control Brachiaria decumbens, Panicum maximum, Ipomoea grandifolia and Sida rhombifolia when applied in preemergence or early post at different evaluation times, with no damage to Pinus caribea var. hondurensis.
