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...

Effect of two methylcarbamates on the toxiciity of isopropyl m-chlorocarbanilate (chlorpropham) to safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) and common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench.)

Creator:: Kirkland, Kenneth
Abstract:: 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...

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.
