  • 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...

  • The influence of light, temperature and humidity on the herbicidal activity of bromoxynil (3,5-dibromo-4-hydroxybenzo-nitrile) on Amsinckia intermedia

    Creator:
    Zimmerman, Martin (Martin Joseph)
    Abstract:
    The use of bromoxynil (3,5-dibromo-4-hydroxybenzonitrile) to control broadleaf weeds in cereal crops has become widespread. This herbicide has not always performed satisfactorily for reasons which were not clearly evident. The effects of temperature, light and humidity on the herbicidal activity of bromoxynil on coast fiddleneck, Amsinckia intermedia, were studied. Fiddleneck...

  • Differential sensitivity of two common groundsel biotypes (Senecio vulgaris L.) to several s-triazine herbicides

    Creator:
    Radosevich, Steven R.
    Abstract:
    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...

  • 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...

  • Asulam for tansy ragwort control in alfalfa : field efficacy and selectivity factors

    Creator:
    Harper, Delbert Ray
    Abstract:
    Tansy ragwort (Senecio jacobaea L. ) is a poisonous weed which infests alfalfa fields in western Oregon. Studies were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of asulam (methyl sulfanilylcarbamate)for control of tansy ragwort in alfalfa and to elucidate factors responsible for its selectivity. In seven replicated field trials in 1973 and...

  • Influence of soil moisture on the movement of bromacil in soil

    Creator:
    Ross, Claude Gray
    Abstract:
    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...

  • Selective control of Cirsium arvense (L.) Scop. in Mentha piperita L. with 3,6-dichloropicolinic acid

    Creator:
    Whitesides, Ralph E.
    Abstract:
    A series of field experiments was conducted during 1975 and 1976 to examine peppermint tolerance and Canada, thistle response to Dowco 290 (3, 6- dichloropicolinic acid). Peppermint oil yield and Canada thistle density were considered most important in evaluating experimental results. Peppermint tolerance to Dowco 290 was studied in weed-free...

  • The effect of 2,4-D on the respiration rate and ethylene production of Bartlett pears and Red Delicious apples

    Creator:
    Fechtig, Allen David
    Abstract:
    After nearly 20 years of commercial use in orchards without apparent tree injury in Oregon and Washington, 2,4-D [(2,4-dichlorophenoxy) acetic acid] was reported in 1970 to cause injury to apple and pear trees in Washington. In the early 1970's, there was widespread concern among growers, researchers, and processors in the...

  • Interference of annual weeds in seedling alfalfa

    Abstract:
    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...

  • Influence of lime on Italian ryegrass control in winter wheat with five herbicides

    Creator:
    Ozdilek, Engin
    Abstract:
    Liming has been shown to increase the activity of certain soil-applied herbicides. One research worker reported improved weed control with diuron after lime had increased soil pH levels. This could be caused by improved competitive ability of the wheat, greater availability of the herbicide, or a combination of the two...
