Resumo: | ABSTRACT The hardness and pH of the spray water can interfere with the weed control effectiveness with herbicides, but it is not clear the magnitude of this interference, mainly associating different levels of pH and hardness to different glyphosate formulations. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of hardness and pH, in association, of the water used in the application of two glyphosate formulations on the weed control effectiveness. The experiment was conducted in duplicate, in areas with a predominance of Digitaria horizontalis, under a randomized block design with a 4×4×2+1 factorial scheme, composed of four water hardness levels (70, 110, 230, and 430 ppm CaCO3), four pH levels (3.5, 4.5, 5.5, and 6.5), two glyphosate formulations (ammonium salt and potassium salt), and control without application, with four repetitions. The physicochemical characteristics of the spray solutions and the weed control effectiveness were evaluated at 7, 14, and 21 days after application (DAA). The water pH at the studied range did not interfere with the control effectiveness. The increase in hardness reduced the control at 7 DAA, but this difference was not noticed after 21 DAA. Glyphosate ammonium salt promoted higher control of D. horizontalis than that with potassium salt, regardless of water hardness and pH.
