Selective control of volunteer wheat (Triticum aestivum (L.) em. Thell.) in new seedlings of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) with fluazifop-butyl and sethoxydim

Creator:: Ott, Pablo
Abstract:: Volunteer winter wheat (Triticum aestivum 'Daws') severely suppressed growth of fall-planted alfalfa (Medicago sativa (L.) 'Vernal') seedlings. Wheat competition began soon after alfalfa emerged and continued until the first forage harvest the following May. Alfalfa yield at the first cutting was reduced by 1% for each day volunteer wheat was...

Interaction of ethofumesate with dry soil

Creator:: McAuliffe, David
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...

Effects of lactofen herbicide on cellular uptake of glyphosate herbicide in malva parviflora L.

Creator:: Wells, Barbara Heard
Abstract:: Time-course growth chamber studies were conducted on little mallow (Malva parviflora L.) to determine whether sublethal doses of lactofen (1'-(carboethoxy)ethyl-5-[2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl) phenoxy]-2- nitrobenzoate) would enhance uptake of glyphosate (N'-(phosphonomethyl) glycine) by altering membrane permeability. Lactofen-induced membrane peroxidation was determined by harvesting leaf discs, measuring stress ethylene evolution, and recording increases in...
