A proposed mechanism for diuron-induced phytotoxicity

Creator:

Stanger, Charles Earl, 1929-

Abstract:

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...

Dissertation
The lateral movement of cycloate as affected by three soil types and four methods of irrigation when applied to the soil by injection incorporation

Creator:

Stanger, Charles Earl, 1929-

Abstract:

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...
