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...
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...
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...
Studies were initiated to determine the response of two common
groundsel biotypes (Senecio vulgaris L. ) to several s-triazine herbicides.
Herbicides tested were: 2-chloro-4,6-bis(ethylamino)-striazine
(simazine), 2-chloro-4-(ethylamino)-6-(isopropylamino)-
s-triazine (atrazine) 2-(sec-butylamino)-4-(ethylamino)-6-methoxys-
triazine (GS-14254), 2, 4-bis(isopropylamino)-6-methoxy-striazine
(prometone), 2-(tert-butylamino)-4-(ethylamino)-6-methylthio-
s-triazine (terbutryn), and 2, 4-bis(isopropylamino)-6-
methylthio-s-triazine (prometryne). One biotype was much more
susceptible than the...
Growth of individual goosegrass (Eleusine indica (L) Gaertn.) plants of
three dinitroaniline-herbicide resistant (R) and three susceptible (S) biotypes from
North Carolina, South Carolina, and Mississippi was analyzed in greenhouse
experiments. Leaf area and biomass measurements, including root, shoot,
above-ground, and total dry weights were similar among the biotypes studied....
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...
