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...
Volunteer winter wheat (Triticum aestivum 'Daws')
severely suppressed growth of fall-planted alfalfa
(Medicago sativa (L.) 'Vernal') seedlings. Wheat
competition began soon after alfalfa emerged and continued
until the first forage harvest the following May. Alfalfa
yield at the first cutting was reduced by 1% for each day
volunteer wheat was...
Field studies were conducted in 1973 and 1974 to determine the
soil persistence of the herbicide M-3785 (containing 0.5 lb a.e.
Dowco 290 + 2.0 lb a.e. 214D/gallon). under cropping situations.
Spring barley (Hordeum distichon L. 'Hannchen') was grown at
Corvallis, Oregon and winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L. 'Nugaines.')
was...
This study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of four
methods of incorporating the herbicide trifluralin into the soil, and
to determine the interaction between depth of incorporation of trifluralin
and depth of weed seed germination.
Field experiments on green and dry peas were established in
Oregon and Idaho. Trifluralin,...
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...
Wheat is the major crop produced on the Anatolian Plateau of Turkey. Annual weeds cause large yields reductions in the wheat crop. Several formulations of 2, 4-D and mixtures of 2, 4-D and 2,4, 5-T are the only materials currently available for use in Turkey on wheat. The objective of...
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...
Studies were conducted to determine the extent and nature of
sub-lethal effects of herbicides on plant growth. At least one
herbicide from each major chemical class of herbicides was evaluated
under greenhouse conditions. Oat plants were grown in sand
culture to eliminate soil interferences. Herbicides were applied
pre-emergence in nutrient...
