N2  - Field experiments were carried out in Western Australia to investigate the response of 9 wheat cultivars to metribuzin and to evaluate its potential for the control of Bromus diandrus and B. rigidus in wheat. The wheat cultivars differed significantly in their response to metribuzin; a South Australian cultivar (Blade) was markedly more tolerant than all other cultivars investigated. Metribuzin alone (100-150 g/ha) or as a tank-mix with pendimethalin, incorporated by sowing, combined reliable brome grass control with good crop safety when used on Blade. Post-emergence application of metribuzin was generally less effective on brome grass and more phytotoxic to the crop than incorporation by sowing. This herbicide-cultivar package gives farmers an opportunity to selectively control brome grass in wheat.
