Previous research has shown that activated carbon is effective
in inactivating certain herbicides applied as a preemergence treatment.
Studies were conducted in the greenhouse to determine the
influence of various factors on the ability of activated carbon to
inactivate herbicides applied after carbon application. Field studies
were conducted to determine...
Previous research has indicated several soil-applied herbicides
are more effective by exposure to emerging shoots than from
root uptake. Studies were conducted in the greenhouse and growth
chamber to investigate effects of herbicide placement in soil on
toxicity to emerging seedlings.
In these studies, an inch of treated soil was...
Greenhouse and growth chamber experiments were conducted with
the following objectives: (a) to study the effects of N-1-naphthylphthalamic
acid (naptalam) on shoot and tuber production, rhizome transformation,
and growth of yellow nutsedge (Cyperus esculentus L.) plants;
(b) to study the effects of N-phosphonomethyl glycine (glyphosate) on
nutsedge plants at different...
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....
A series of experiments were conducted from 1983 to 1985 to
determine the effects of dinoseb [2-(1-methylpropyl)-4,6-dinitrophenol]
on winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em Thell) yields. Field trials
on dinoseb timing and dinoseb plus supplemental pesticides were
established in an effort to elucidate the possible factors involved in
the yield...
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...
HOE 23408 [methyl 2-[ 4-( 2, 4- dichlorophenoxy )phenoxy]propanoate]
is a herbicide used to selectively-control Italian ryegrass
(Lolium muitiflorum Lam.) and wild oats (Avena fatua L.) in wheat.
The objective of this research was to compare the relative importance
of foliar and root uptake of the herbicide in these two...
