Lateral diffusion of S-ethyl N-ethylthiocyclohexanecarbamate
(cycloate)¹ is essential for satisfactory weed control with injection
type incorporation in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris Linn.) production.
Previous field experience with injection incorporation has indicated
that sufficient lateral diffusion for satisfactory weed control has not
occurred under all field conditions. Researchers who have been...
Several studies were conducted to determine the feasibility of
using terbacil (3-tert-butyl-5-chloro-6-methyluracil) postemergence
to weeds and peppermint (Mentha piperita L.). Three nonionic surfactants,
four nonphytotoxic oils, and a liquid fertilizer were each
combined with 0.5 lb ai/A terbacil in 35 gallons of water per acre.
Weed species tested include: redroot...
Previous research has shown that specific carotenoid pigments
function through oxidation-reduction reactions to protect chlorophyll
from photooxidation in the presence of reduced nicotinamide adenine
dinucleotide phosphate (NADP). The hypothesis that diuron (3-(3, 4-
d chloropheny1)-1, 1-dimethylurea) initiates phytotoxicity by inhibition
of NADPH synthesis was examined. All experiments were conducted
in...
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...
Laboratory and field studies were conducted at Pendleton, Oregon, during 1983 and 1984 to evaluate germination and growth characteristics of five jointed goatgrass (Aegilops cylindrica Host) accessions collected from sites in Echo, Ione, Pendleton, Condon, and Elgin, Oregon. Spikelets were germinated for 27 days at room (23 +̲ 2 C)...
