5.4 Assessment method The efficacy of the herbicide action on each weed species was estimated, using a rating scale from 0 to 100%, as follows:

- The % damaged plant surface was assessed (death, necrosis, size reduction, thinning etc.);

- Each treated plot was compared with the relative plant/weed population assessed in the untreated pot.

5.5 Statistical analysis Data from the assessments were analysed by analysis of variance (ANOVA) with software ARM 9.0 from Gylling Data Management. If consistent with the statistical distribution of data, data were automatically transformed as reported in the result tables. When Analysis of Variance (AOV) treatment was significant [P(F)≤0.05], differences between means were determined by the Duncan’s New MRT test at the Observed Significant Level (OSL) (P≤ 0.05).

6.4 Conclusions The trial was carried out in greenhouse to evaluate the efficacy of GLIPHO REF in comparison to two new formulations of same active ingredient, signed GLIPHO BB and GLIPHO BC4. For each product were tested 5 rate (45,90,180,360 and 720 g a.i./ha) and 4 replicates per thesis. These products were applied on three different weeds:

• one dicotyledonous plant: AMARE (Amaranthus retroflexus) • two monocotyledonous plants: ECHCG (Echinochloa crus-galli) and ALOMY

(Alopecurus myosuroides) The application was performed when the pants were at growth stage (BBCH13-14: 3-4 leaves unfolded). At 3, 7, 14 and 21 days after application the plants were observed in order to monitor their conditions and assess the efficacy. After 3 days there no differences in terms of speed of action and efficacy between GLIPHO REF and the other product on AMARE but the action of REF on monocots (ALOMY and ECHCH) seems to be less noticeable than BB and BC4. After 21 days were clear the dose response of tested product on the different weeds:

• AMARE: GLIPHO REF seems to be better than BB and BC4 only at lowest rate (45 and 90 g a.i./ha), instead at highest rate there no difference in terms of efficacy.

• ALOMY: the efficacy profile of BB and BC4 was the same for each thesis. The performance of BB and BC4 was higher than REF at all rate tested.

• ECHCG: the efficacy profile of BB and BC4 was the same for each thesis. The performance of BB and BC4 was higher than REF at all rate tested.

In conclusion, the efficacy profile of BB and BC4 is slightly better than the GLIPHO REF.
