Abstract

Glyphosate plus 2,4-D has been registered as a fall applied treatment for leafy spurge control in pasture and rangeland. Research data are limited concerning weed control and potential grass injury with glyphosate in pasture and rangeland. Members of the Great Plains Agricultural Conference (GPAC) established a regional research project to evaluate various formulations of glyphosate plus 2,4-D for leafy spurge control and grass injury. The experiment was established in Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming in dense stands of leafy spurge with several grass species present (Table 1). Treatments were applied on or near August 15 or September 15, 1989 using 8 to 20 gpa at 35 psi. Plots were 10 by 30 feet and treatments were replicated four times in a randomized complete block design at all locations. Leafy spurge control and grass injury varied by location and treatment date. Glyphosate plus 2,4-D at 0.38 plus 0.65 lb/A provided an average of 79% leafy spurge control when applied in September in Colorado, North Dakota and South Dakota but only 63 and 13% control in Montana and Wyoming, respectively, 9 months after treatment (MAT) (Table 2). However, grass injury also was higher in Colorado and the Dakotas and averaged 77% compared to no injury in Montana and Wyoming. Leafy spurge control and grass injury was higher when treatments were applied in September compared to August at all locations except Montana. Leafy spurge control was similar 9 MAT when glyphosate at 0.38 lb/A was applied with 2,4-D at 0.34 or 0.65 lb/A or with dicamba at 0.172 lb/A (Table 2). Glyphosate plus 2,4-D or glyphosate plus dicamba provided better leafy spurge control than glyphosate alone when applied in August, but control was similar when applied in September. Piclo-
