Enhancement potential of 'Ethokem' in control of the common reed (Phragmites australis) using glyphosate

Abstract

A significant, positive response trend to the addition of the adjuvant Ethokem to Roundup has demonstrated the potential for this additive to enhance herbicidal activity when applied to control the common reed, Phragmites australis. Efficacy was not elevated to acceptable levels in any of the Roundup:Ethokem combinations tested. The trial results have indicated however, that further investigation of the enhancement potential of Ethokem at concentrations in excess of 0.37% v/v at the 6 L rate of Roundup, is warranted.
