Effect of Soil Moisture Regimes on the Glyphosate Sensitivity and Morpho-Physiological Traits of Windmill Grass (<i>Chloris truncata</i> R.Br.), Common Sowthistle (<i>Sonchus oleraceus</i> L.), and Flaxleaf Fleabane [<i>Conyza bonariensis</i> (L.) Cronq.]

The glasshouse study was conducted with the objectives of (i) investigating the effect of soil moisture variations on the control efficiency of glyphosate on windmill grass (<i>Chloris truncata</i> R.Br.), common sowthistle (<i>Sonchus oleraceus</i> L.), and flaxleaf fleabane...

The lethal dose to cause herbicide injury or biomass reduction by 50% (LD<sub>50</sub>) and 80% (LD<sub>80</sub>) in relation to untreated control for water-stressed plants [i.e., moderate soil moisture availability (MSM) and RSM] was significantly higher than that of plants grown under high soil moisture availability (HSM).
