Abstract
Prickly lettuce (Lactuca serriola L.), an annual or biennial plant, is becoming an increasing problem in southern New South Wales; mostly in cereals and legume pastures. This study showed that eight prickly lettuce populations differed in their final cumulative emergence in a seedling tray trial, ranging from 39 to 341 plants m−2, however, they had similar emergence patterns, with 69% emergence in late autumn and early winter, 27% in later winter, 2.4% in spring in the first year after burial and only 1.6% emergence between autumn and winter in the second year. Prickly lettuce in wheat also followed similar emergence patterns, but it had higher emergence (7.5%) between autumn and winter in the second year. In addition, the total emergence in wheat was only one tenth of that in the seedling trays (without competition). Glyphosate, 2,4-D amine + glyphosate, metsulfuron-methyl+ glyphosate, glufosinate ammonium and fluroxypyr controlled mature prickly lettuce plants by 90–95%.Paraquat consistently achieved 100% control eitherused alone or as a ‘double knock’ treatment.
