Summary Isoproturon controlled Phalaris spp., Lolium spp., Avena sterilis L. and Papaver rhoeas L. in winter cereal crops, the dosages applied being in accordance with the different texture of the soils on which the herbicide was tested in the province of Toledo (Spain). The competitive effects of the weeds, particularly Avena sterilis were ascertained on a range of cereal parameters, not only those influencing yield, but also the grain weight/straw weight ratio. The influence of climatic and edaphic conditions on the efficiency of the herbicide was also investigated.
