Tansy ragwort (Senecio jacobaea L. ) is a poisonous weed which
infests alfalfa fields in western Oregon. Studies were conducted to
evaluate the effectiveness of asulam (methyl sulfanilylcarbamate)for
control of tansy ragwort in alfalfa and to elucidate factors responsible
for its selectivity. In seven replicated field trials in 1973 and...
In previous research in Europe, asulam (methyl sulfanilylcarbamate)
was found to be a potentially useful herbicide for controlling
broadleaf dock Rumex obtusifolius L. ) in permanent pastures.
Asulam was also reported to have a low margin of safety when used
on common pasture species. Field studies were conducted in western...
Wheat is the major crop produced on the Anatolian Plateau of Turkey. Annual weeds cause large yields reductions in the wheat crop. Several formulations of 2, 4-D and mixtures of 2, 4-D and 2,4, 5-T are the only materials currently available for use in Turkey on wheat. The objective of...
Studies were initiated to determine the response of two common
groundsel biotypes (Senecio vulgaris L. ) to several s-triazine herbicides.
Herbicides tested were: 2-chloro-4,6-bis(ethylamino)-striazine
(simazine), 2-chloro-4-(ethylamino)-6-(isopropylamino)-
s-triazine (atrazine) 2-(sec-butylamino)-4-(ethylamino)-6-methoxys-
triazine (GS-14254), 2, 4-bis(isopropylamino)-6-methoxy-striazine
(prometone), 2-(tert-butylamino)-4-(ethylamino)-6-methylthio-
s-triazine (terbutryn), and 2, 4-bis(isopropylamino)-6-
methylthio-s-triazine (prometryne). One biotype was much more
susceptible than the...
A field study was conducted in 1973 and 1974 to determine optimum
timing of metribuzin (4-amino-6-tert-butyl-3(methylthio) as -
tria.zine-5(4H)one) on winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L. 'Hyslop')
for control of Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam. ). Herbicide
treatments were applied at 5 different stages of growth of winter wheat.
Metribuzin at...
Studies were conducted in 1969 and 1970 to evaluate the
effectiveness of an experimental herbicide, SD 30053 (alanine,
N-benzoyl-N-(3, 4-dichlorophenyl)-, ethyl ester), for wild oat
(Avena fatua L.) control in winter cereals.
The 1969 field studies showed that postemergence applications
of SD 30053 were effective in controlling wild oats. Wild...
HOE 23408 [methyl 2-[ 4-( 2, 4- dichlorophenoxy )phenoxy]propanoate]
is a herbicide used to selectively-control Italian ryegrass
(Lolium muitiflorum Lam.) and wild oats (Avena fatua L.) in wheat.
The objective of this research was to compare the relative importance
of foliar and root uptake of the herbicide in these two...
Several studies were conducted to determine the effect of weed
density on herbicide efficacy. Diuron [3-(3, 4- dichlorophenyl) -1, 1-
dimethylurea] was tested on various densities of Italian ryegrass
(Lolium multiflorum Lam. ) under greenhouse and field conditions.
Cycloate (S-ethyl N-ethylthiocyclohexanecarbamate) was tested on
green foxtail (Setaria viridis (L. )...
Investigations were made in the field, greenhouse, growth
chamber, and laboratory to: (a) observe the general activity of N-
(phosphonomethyl)glycine (glyphosate); (b) determine the extent of its
interaction with certain s-triazine herbicides; and (c) find an explanation
for such an interaction.
Greenhouse and growth chamber studies substantiated other
observations that...
