  • Cyperus esculentus control with glyphosate : time of application and addition of ammonium sulfate

    Creator:
    Costa, Jaime
    Abstract:
    Cyperus esculentus L. var. esculentus is a serious weed problem in northwest Spain. Long-term control from glyphosate and other herbicides has been inconsistent. Field, greenhouse, and laboratory studies were conducted on factors influencing the activity of glyphosate on C. esculentus. In field studies, glyphosate controlled foliage growth at most growth...

  • Behavior of metribuzin and ethylmetribuzin in soil

    Creator:
    Peek, Daniel C.
    Abstract:
    The behavior of metribuzin [4-amino-6-(1,1- dimethylethyl)-3-(methylthio)-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-one] and ethyl-metribuzin (4-amino-6-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-3- (ethylthio)-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-one] in soil was studied to determine if differences in herbicide behavior in soil could explain (a) the inconsistent herbicidal activity of these chemicals and (b) the greater activity of metribuzin, as compared to ethyl-metribuzin. Metribuzin had higher activity than ethyl-metribuzin...

  • The effects of N-1-Naphthylphthalamic acid on growth of yellow nutsedge and its control with N-Phosphonomethyl glycine

    Creator:
    Paller, Enrique C.
    Abstract:
    Greenhouse and growth chamber experiments were conducted with the following objectives: (a) to study the effects of N-1-naphthylphthalamic acid (naptalam) on shoot and tuber production, rhizome transformation, and growth of yellow nutsedge (Cyperus esculentus L.) plants; (b) to study the effects of N-phosphonomethyl glycine (glyphosate) on nutsedge plants at different...

  • 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. )...

  • 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...

    Abstract:
    A series of studies was conducted to determine the presence of tobacco rattle virus (TRV), potato virus X (PVX), and other viruses in wild plants and to evaluate the efficacy of the detection methods; to characterize and purify an isolate of TRV; and to study the interaction between TRV and...

  • Asulam for tansy ragwort control in alfalfa : field efficacy and selectivity factors

    Creator:
    Harper, Delbert Ray
    Abstract:
    Tansy ragwort (Senecio jacobaea L. ) is a poisonous weed which infests alfalfa fields in western Oregon. Studies were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of asulam (methyl sulfanilylcarbamate)for control of tansy ragwort in alfalfa and to elucidate factors responsible for its selectivity. In seven replicated field trials in 1973 and...

  • The effect of 2,4-D on the respiration rate and ethylene production of Bartlett pears and Red Delicious apples

    Creator:
    Fechtig, Allen David
    Abstract:
    After nearly 20 years of commercial use in orchards without apparent tree injury in Oregon and Washington, 2,4-D [(2,4-dichlorophenoxy) acetic acid] was reported in 1970 to cause injury to apple and pear trees in Washington. In the early 1970's, there was widespread concern among growers, researchers, and processors in the...

  • Effect of glyphosate when applied to grass and legume seeds or preemergence to bentgrass (Agrostis tenuis Sibth.)

    Creator:
    Salazar, Luis Carlos
    Abstract:
    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...

  • Stimulation of plant growth by sub-lethal concentrations of herbicides

    Creator:
    Wiedman, Steven John
    Abstract:
    Studies were conducted to determine the extent and nature of sub-lethal effects of herbicides on plant growth. At least one herbicide from each major chemical class of herbicides was evaluated under greenhouse conditions. Oat plants were grown in sand culture to eliminate soil interferences. Herbicides were applied pre-emergence in nutrient...
