Lateral diffusion of S-ethyl N-ethylthiocyclohexanecarbamate
(cycloate)¹ is essential for satisfactory weed control with injection
type incorporation in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris Linn.) production.
Previous field experience with injection incorporation has indicated
that sufficient lateral diffusion for satisfactory weed control has not
occurred under all field conditions. Researchers who have been...
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')...
Norbak, Dacagin, and Vistik, when mixed with a spray solution,
each have the unique property of increasing the viscosity of
that solution. This property has been used commercially for the
reduction of spray drift.
Studies were made of the drift control adjuvants to determine
the following: (1) the effect of...
Weedy rye (Secale spp.) is a weed in the winter-wheat- growing
regions in the Pacific Northwest and surrounding regions. Ethiazin
(4-amino-6-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-3- (ehtylthio)-1,2,4-triazine-5 (4H)-one)
has shown selective control of weedy rye in the cultivar 'Stephens',
(Triticum aestivum). Field, greenhouse, and outdoor pot experiments
were conducted to determine factors influencing selectivity.
Field...
A series of field experiments was conducted during 1975 and
1976 to examine peppermint tolerance and Canada, thistle response to
Dowco 290 (3, 6- dichloropicolinic acid). Peppermint oil yield and
Canada thistle density were considered most important in evaluating
experimental results.
Peppermint tolerance to Dowco 290 was studied in weed-free...
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...
