  • Dinitroaniline-herbicide resistance in goosegrass (Eleusine indica) : ecophysiological aspects

    Creator:
    Valverde, Bernal E.
    Abstract:
    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....

  • 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...

  • Differential sensitivity of two common groundsel biotypes (Senecio vulgaris L.) to several s-triazine herbicides

    Creator:
    Radosevich, Steven R.
    Abstract:
    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...

  • 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. )...

  • Tobacco rattle virus : weed hosts, diagnosis, characterization, purification, and interaction with potato virus X

    Creator:
    Locatelli, Eduardo Atilio
    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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...
