Investigations were made in the field, greenhouse, growth
chamber, and laboratory to: (a) observe the general activity of N-
(phosphonomethyl)glycine (glyphosate); (b) determine the extent of its
interaction with certain s-triazine herbicides; and (c) find an explanation
for such an interaction.
Greenhouse and growth chamber studies substantiated other
observations that...
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...
The herbicide rate required to reduce growth by 50% (GR₅₀) of 11
cultivars of red fesue (Festuca rubra L. and F. rubra ssp. commutata)
and for four cultivars of bentgrass (Agrostis tenuis Sibth. and A.
stolonifera L. var. palustris) to sethoxydim (2-[1-(ethoxyimino)
butyl]-5-[2-(ethylthio)propyl]-3-hydroxy-2-cyclohexen-1-one) was
determined in greenhouse and laboratory experiments....
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)...
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 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...
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...
