) suggested that chemical and nonchemical alternatives to MB have not been developed for strawberry runner plant production to the extent that they have been for strawberry fruit production. Little research has been conducted on weed control and yield in
Pyrimisulfan is a sulfonanilide herbicidal inhibitor of ALS with structural similarity to bispyribac-sodium and pyrithiobac-sodium ( Asakura et al., 2012 ). Pyrimisulfan is used for both pre- and postemergence weed control in rice ( Oryza stricta L
