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...
EPIC (S-ethyl dipropylthiocarbamate) is a selective herbicide
which controls some annual grasses, annual broadleaves, and perennial
grasses when incorporated into the soil before planting. In the last
few years, reports have been received of certain fields in the
Willamette Valley of Oregon in which EPIC was no longer effective.
Preliminary...
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')...
Paraquat (1,11-dimethy1-4,4'-bipyridinium ion) and glyphosate [N (phosphonomethyl)glycine] are herbicides utilized for chemical seedbed preparation in the establishment of grass and legume seed crops. When these herbicides are applied after seeding the crop, seeds which are not protected by a layer of soil could be exposed to the herbicide. Effects of...
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...
Addition of the methylcarbamate compounds p-chlorophenyl
N-methylcarbamate (PPG-124) and 1-naphthyl N-methylcarbamate
(carbaryl) to various herbicides has resulted in reduced rates of
degradation. Carbaryl affects the degradation of certain herbicides
in both plants and soils while PPG-124 has only been demonstrated
to affect degradation in soils. Both these materials are effective...
Trifluralin (a, a, a - trifluoro -2, 6 -dinitro-N, N-dipropyl-ptoluidine)
is effective in controlling downy brome (Bromus tectorum
L.) and wild oat (Avena fatua L.) but does not severely affect the
growth of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Studies were conducted
using germination chamber and greenhouse facilities to investigate
possible factors...
