Pot studies outdoors under natural environmental conditions were conducted to determine leafy spurge biomass reduction resulting from broadcast application of 2,4-D (2,244 g ae ha-1) with and without wiper-applied glyphosate. Glyphosate (575 g ae L-1) was applied at 0, 33, 50, and 75% diluted concentrate with a wiper 24 hrs after 2,4-D was broadcast applied. Injury estimates and shoot biomass did not differ between plants treated with 2,4-D-only or the addition of wiper-applied glyphosate 21 days after treatment. Shoot regrowth biomass of plants treated with 2,4-D-only was approximately 560% greater compared to nontreated plants three months after treatment. Plants treated with wiper-applied glyphosate had shoot regrowth biomass of less than 10% compared to the nontreated plants 3 months after treatment. Root biomass of 2,4-D-only treated plants (160% of nontreated plants) followed a similar pattern of shoot regrowth biomass. Root biomass of plants treated with wiper-applied glyphosate exhibited approximately 50% reductions compared to nontreated plants. The concentrations of glyphosate tested reduced all vegetative metrics equally; therefore, all labeled concentrations should be effective. The results of the experiment show that broadcast-applied 2,4-D is more effective at reducing leafy spurge biomass with the addition of wiper-applied glyphosate.
