Sažetak
Alopecurus myosuroides Huds. is an important pinoxaden-resistant grass weed in many countries of Europe. Recently, the low efficacy of pinoxaden was reported in winter cereals in Croatia, but a preliminary dose–response trial showed no herbicide resistance for the investigated weed population. Therefore, a two-year experiment was conducted under greenhouse conditions to determine the efficacy of various pinoxaden doses (20, 40 and 80 g a.i. ha−1 ) on weed visual injuries and biomass reduction after herbicide application at different growth stages. As expected, the maximum weed biomass reduction (97.3%) was achieved by applying the highest dose (80 g a.i. ha−1 ) at the earliest growth stage (ZCK 12–14). A pinoxaden dose of 20 g a.i. ha−1 resulted in satisfactory weed biomass reduction (88.9%) only when applied at ZCK 12–14. The recommended dose (40 g a.i. ha−1 ) also provided sufficient weed control up to the growth stage ZCK 21–25. Slightly delayed (ZCK 31– 32) application of the recommended dose brought about a low weed biomass reduction (60.1%). Double than the recommended dose also failed to provide satisfactory weed control at the advanced weed growth stages (ZCK 31–32 and ZCK 37–39). Thus, reported low efficacy of pinoxaden is most likely because of delayed herbicide application when A. myosuroides is overgrown
