  • Persistence of prodiamine and norflurazon herbicides in soil and their activity on alfalfa rotational crops

    Creator:
    Fischer, Vernon F.
    Abstract:
    Norflurazon [4-chloro-5-(methylamino)-2(3-(trifluoromethyl) phenyl)- 3(2H)- pyridazinone] and prodiamine (N3, N3-di-n-propy1-2,4- dinitro-6-(trifluoromethyl)-m-phenylenediamine) are two herbicides being considered for weed control in alfalfa. Rotational crops following alfalfa may be sensitive to residues of these herbicides. Studies were conducted in Oregon and Washington to examine the soil persistence and activity of these herbicides on...

  • The influence of magnesium on the toxicity of atrazine

    Creator:
    Brenchley, Ronald Glenn
    Abstract:
    Atrazine is an asymmetrical s-triazine herbicide used pre- and post emergence for weed control in many crops. Triazine herbicides have been used in the Pacific-Northwest for weed control in orchard crops. Under certain conditions where trees were grown in nutrient deficient areas, it was noted that toxic symptoms due to...

  • Influence of weed density on efficacy of two soil-applied herbicides

    Creator:
    Burrill, L. C.
    Abstract:
    Several studies were conducted to determine the effect of weed density on herbicide efficacy. Diuron [3-(3, 4- dichlorophenyl) -1, 1- dimethylurea] was tested on various densities of Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam. ) under greenhouse and field conditions. Cycloate (S-ethyl N-ethylthiocyclohexanecarbamate) was tested on green foxtail (Setaria viridis (L. )...

  • The agronomic, environmental, and economic implications of the introduction of terbacil for weed control in Oregon commercial peppermint operations

    Creator:
    Harris, James O.
    Abstract:
    The use of terbacil for weed control was adapted by a high percentage of Oregon peppermint growers soon after its introduction in 1967. To help clarify some of the implications of terbacil usage, three studies were undertaken to collect information concerning (a) the movement and build-up of terbacil in various...

  • The response of tomatoes to atrazine as affected by magnesium and photoperiod

    Creator:
    Brenchley, Ronald Glenn
    Abstract:
    Studies were conducted to determine the nature of the interaction between atrazine (2-chloro-4-ethylamino-6-isopropylaminos- triazine) and magnesium on tomatoes. This interaction was studied under two light regimes: continuous light and a 12-hour photoperiod. Tomato plants were grown in sand cultures at three levels of magnesium fertilization. Four weeks after planting, atrazine...

  • Foliage applications of terbacil to peppermint (Mentha piperita) and several weed species

    Creator:
    Radosevich, Steven R.
    Abstract:
    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...
