This experiment was carried out in Jaboticabal, São Paulo - Brazil, during the 2000/01 growing season, to test the effect of reduced doses of formulated mixture of fluazifop-p-butil + fomesafen, in postemergence application, on weed control and yield of two soybean cultivars. A randomized block experimental design was used with four replications, in a split-plot design. The cultivars (IAC - Foscarin 31 and MG/BR46-Conquista) constituted the plots and the fluazifop-p-butil + fomesafen herbicide rates (0,4; 0,3; and 0,2 kg. a.i.ha-1), together with the checks (with and without weed), the split-plots. A major phytotoxicity of the herbicide was verified for the IAC - Foscarin 31 cultivar, but without affecting yield. It was possible to reduce the herbicide rates up to 50% to control this weed community, without significant yield reduction.
