  • The reproduction and mode of spread of sago pondweed (Potamogeton pectinatus L.) in irrigation system

    Creator:
    Ogg, Alex G.
    Abstract:
    Nine experiments were conducted during 1964 and 1965 to study the methods of reproduction and mode of spread of sago pondweed (Potamogeton pectinatus) in irrigation systems. Frequent treatments of sago pondweed foliage with aromatic solvent greatly reduced the number of tubers in the substratum of an irrigation canal. However, complete...

  • Sethoxydim herbicide in red fescue and bentgrass : levels and mechanisms of selectivity

    Creator:
    Butler, J. Hugh B.
    Abstract:
    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....

  • The effects of N-1-Naphthylphthalamic acid on growth of yellow nutsedge and its control with N-Phosphonomethyl glycine

    Creator:
    Paller, Enrique C.
    Abstract:
    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...

  • An evaluation of weed interference in rice grown on hydromorphic soils in West Africa

    Creator:
    Diop, Amadou Makhtar
    Abstract:
    Field, screenhouse, and laboratory experiments were conducted to study weed interference in rice grown on hydromorphic soils at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) at Ibadan, Nigeria. Rice and weeds emerged at the same time, 1 week after planting. Weed dry weight was significantly reduced when the crop was...

  • Non-herbicidal effects of dinoseb on winter wheat yields

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

  • The agronomic, environmental, and economic implications of the introduction of terbacil for weed control in Oregon commercial peppermint operations

    Creator:
    Harris, James O.
    Abstract:
    The use of terbacil for weed control was adapted by a high percentage of Oregon peppermint growers soon after its introduction in 1967. To help clarify some of the implications of terbacil usage, three studies were undertaken to collect information concerning (a) the movement and build-up of terbacil in various...

  • Factors influencing metribuzin use in strip-planted wheat

    Creator:
    Zeghida, Ali
    Abstract:
    Equipment for strip-till planting is under development in wheat-fallow rotations in the Columbia Basin of Oregon. This involves the absence of tillage during the fallow season. At planting time, the strip-till planter creates a narrow band into which the wheat seed is placed. The area between the rows is undisturbed...

  • 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...

  • Effect of a pre-irrigation period on the activity of ethofumesate applied to dry soil

    Creator:
    McAuliffe, David
    Abstract:
    Applications of ethofumesate in Oregon have been observed from previous research and from commercial use to be less effective when applied to dry soils, even if subsequent precipitation occurred within a few days. Two field studies were established in the summer of 1979 using sweet corn (Zea mays L. 'Jubilee')...
