  • The effect of soil factors on glyphosate availability in soil

    Creator:
    Kawate, Michael Ken
    Abstract:
    Glyphosate (N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine) is an effective foliar-applied herbicide with broad-spectrum activity. Greenhouse and laboratory experiments were conducted to determine the importance of soil moisture, autoclaved soil, soil type, sphagnum peat, soil pH, added phosphorus, and plant residues on crop establishment and growth when glyphosate was applied before emergence of the crop....

  • 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...

  • Interaction of ethofumesate with dry soil

    Creator:
    McAuliffe, David
    Abstract:
    Previous studies have shown loss of ethofumesate activity when the herbicide was applied to dry soil (2% w/w moisture content) in both field and greenhouse studies, even when rainfall or irrigation was received within a few days. Laboratory studies were conducted to determine the mechanism for this activity loss. Dry...

  • Persistence of prodiamine and norflurazon herbicides in soil and their activity on alfalfa rotational crops

    Creator:
    Fischer, Vernon F.
    Abstract:
    Norflurazon [4-chloro-5-(methylamino)-2(3-(trifluoromethyl) phenyl)- 3(2H)- pyridazinone] and prodiamine (N3, N3-di-n-propy1-2,4- dinitro-6-(trifluoromethyl)-m-phenylenediamine) are two herbicides being considered for weed control in alfalfa. Rotational crops following alfalfa may be sensitive to residues of these herbicides. Studies were conducted in Oregon and Washington to examine the soil persistence and activity of these herbicides on...
