In previous research, bromacil gave good performance when
it was applied in early fall with fairly dry soil conditions and before
the fall germinating weeds had started growth. On the other hand,
if bromacil was applied in late November, December, or January
on nearly saturated soil with weeds that had...
Atrazine is an asymmetrical s-triazine herbicide used pre-
and post emergence for weed control in many crops. Triazine herbicides
have been used in the Pacific-Northwest for weed control in
orchard crops. Under certain conditions where trees were grown
in nutrient deficient areas, it was noted that toxic symptoms due to...
Studies were conducted to determine the nature of the interaction
between atrazine (2-chloro-4-ethylamino-6-isopropylaminos-
triazine) and magnesium on tomatoes. This interaction was
studied under two light regimes: continuous light and a 12-hour
photoperiod. Tomato plants were grown in sand cultures at three
levels of magnesium fertilization. Four weeks after planting,
atrazine...
Trifluralin (a, a, a - trifluoro -2, 6 -dinitro-N, N-dipropyl-ptoluidine)
is effective in controlling downy brome (Bromus tectorum
L.) and wild oat (Avena fatua L.) but does not severely affect the
growth of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Studies were conducted
using germination chamber and greenhouse facilities to investigate
possible factors...
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...
Lateral diffusion of S-ethyl N-ethylthiocyclohexanecarbamate
(cycloate)¹ is essential for satisfactory weed control with injection
type incorporation in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris Linn.) production.
Previous field experience with injection incorporation has indicated
that sufficient lateral diffusion for satisfactory weed control has not
occurred under all field conditions. Researchers who have been...
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')...
Cyperus esculentus L. var. esculentus is a serious weed
problem in northwest Spain. Long-term control from glyphosate and
other herbicides has been inconsistent. Field, greenhouse, and
laboratory studies were conducted on factors influencing the
activity of glyphosate on C. esculentus.
In field studies, glyphosate controlled foliage growth at most
growth...
