| ABSTRACT Selection and dosage of desiccating herbicides may bring benefits to bean harvesting and its seed quality. This study aimed to assess yield, apparent specific mass and coloration of azuki bean seeds after pre-harvesting desiccation with different herbicides and doses and subsequent storing. In a first trial, we tested paraquat 400 (g ai ha-1), ammonium glufosinate (400 g ai ha-1), glyphosate (720 g ai ha-1), flumioxazin (30 g ai ha-1) and control. In second and third trials, we tested various doses of saflufenacil (0, 50, 75, 100, 150 and 200 g ai ha-1) and flumioxazin (0, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 g ai ha-1). All treatments were divided into plots and the dates of evaluation (at harvest and six months after harvest) into subplots with four... |
