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...
Eight postemergence herbicides were evaluated to determine
their influence on the incidence and severity of take-all disease
caused by the fungus Gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici in winter
wheat. Mecoprop ((+)-2-(4-chloro-2-methylphenoxy)propanoic acid),
difenzoquat (1,2- dimethyl- 3,5- diphenyl -1H- pyrazolium), dinoseb amine
(amine salt of 2-(1-methylpropy1)-4,6-dinitrophenol), and diclofopmethyl
(methyl ester of (+)-2-[4-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)...
Laboratory and field studies were conducted at Pendleton, Oregon, during 1983 and 1984 to evaluate germination and growth characteristics of five jointed goatgrass (Aegilops cylindrica Host) accessions collected from sites in Echo, Ione, Pendleton, Condon, and Elgin, Oregon. Spikelets were germinated for 27 days at room (23 +̲ 2 C)...
In previous research in Europe, asulam (methyl sulfanilylcarbamate)
was found to be a potentially useful herbicide for controlling
broadleaf dock Rumex obtusifolius L. ) in permanent pastures.
Asulam was also reported to have a low margin of safety when used
on common pasture species. Field studies were conducted in western...
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...
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')...
