ABSTRACT
Horseweed (Conyza sumatrensis), the major weed already identified in southern Brazil come presenting unsatisfactory control in response to application of herbicide chlorimuron-ethyl and glyphosate. In this context, the aim of this study was evaluating alternative herbicides for control of biotypes of C. sumatrensis with low-level resistance to the herbicide chlorimuron-ethyl and glyphosate-resistant. The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse, in a period during the interval April to August 2012, in Passo Fundo / RS. The experimental design was the completely randomized with four replications, with 15 herbicide treatments, plus an untreated control. The variables evaluated were percent control at 14, 21 and 28 days after treatment (DAT) and dry weight of shoot at 28 DAT. The results showed that the biotypes were 100% controlled at 28 DAT for alternative treatments of paraquat + diuron, ammonium glufosinate, glyphosate + 2,4-D, glyphosate and ammonium glufosinate; 2,4-D; tembotrione and tembotrione + atrazine. The biotype 17 showed less sensitivity to ALS-inhibiting herbicides, and biotypes 05, 17 and 20 were not controlled by glyphosate.
