Abstract
Five herbicides were evaluated for their potential to reduce reliance on directed white (mineral) spirits applications and hand weeding for grass control in P. caribaea var. hondurensis nurseries. Post-emergent applications of haloxyfop-methyl, fluazifop-P, fenoxaprop-ethyl and sethoxydim were identified as being selective to P. caribaea var. hondurensis seedlings whilst providing effective grass control. Ametryn was toxic to P. caribaea var. hondurensis seedlings at 1 kg ha−1.
