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)...
The interference of barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crusgalli),
pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus),downy brome (Bromus
tectorum),and tumble mustard (Sisymbrium altissimum)
with alfalfa was studied. Alfalfa was seeded with each of
the four weeds on August 14 and September 15, 1981, and on
April 13, 1982. Alfalfa also was seeded on August 27, 1981,
with...
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...
Studies were conducted in 1969 and 1970 to evaluate the
effectiveness of an experimental herbicide, SD 30053 (alanine,
N-benzoyl-N-(3, 4-dichlorophenyl)-, ethyl ester), for wild oat
(Avena fatua L.) control in winter cereals.
The 1969 field studies showed that postemergence applications
of SD 30053 were effective in controlling wild oats. Wild...
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....
Diclofop (2- [4 -(2, 4-dichlorophenoxy)phenoxy] propanoic
acid), formulated as the methyl ester, selectively kills
barnyardgrass [Echinochloa crus -galli (L.) Beauv.] in several
crops when applied postemergence. Studies were conducted
to determine the effect of soil moisture, barnyardgrass age, and site of exposure on control of barnyardgrass with diclofop. Soil moisture...
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...
