Applications of ethofumesate in Oregon have been observed from previous research and from commercial use to be less effective when applied to dry soils, even if subsequent precipitation occurred within a few days. Two field studies were established in the summer of 1979 using sweet corn (Zea mays L. 'Jubilee')...

Abstract:

Previous studies have shown loss of ethofumesate activity when the herbicide was applied to dry soil (2% w/w moisture content) in both field and greenhouse studies, even when rainfall or irrigation was received within a few days. Laboratory studies were conducted to determine the mechanism for this activity loss. Dry...
