  • Cyperus esculentus control with glyphosate : time of application and addition of ammonium sulfate

    Creator:
    Costa, Jaime
    Abstract:
    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...

  • A proposed mechanism for diuron-induced phytotoxicity

    Creator:
    Stanger, Charles Earl, 1929-
    Abstract:
    Previous research has shown that specific carotenoid pigments function through oxidation-reduction reactions to protect chlorophyll from photooxidation in the presence of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP). The hypothesis that diuron (3-(3, 4- d chloropheny1)-1, 1-dimethylurea) initiates phytotoxicity by inhibition of NADPH synthesis was examined. All experiments were conducted in...

  • Foliage applications of terbacil to peppermint (Mentha piperita) and several weed species

    Creator:
    Radosevich, Steven R.
    Abstract:
    Several studies were conducted to determine the feasibility of using terbacil (3-tert-butyl-5-chloro-6-methyluracil) postemergence to weeds and peppermint (Mentha piperita L.). Three nonionic surfactants, four nonphytotoxic oils, and a liquid fertilizer were each combined with 0.5 lb ai/A terbacil in 35 gallons of water per acre. Weed species tested include: redroot...

  • 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...

  • Factors affecting selective weedy rye (Secale sp.) control in winter wheat with the herbicide ethiazin

    Creator:
    Diener, Phillip R.
    Abstract:
    Weedy rye (Secale spp.) is a weed in the winter-wheat- growing regions in the Pacific Northwest and surrounding regions. Ethiazin (4-amino-6-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-3- (ehtylthio)-1,2,4-triazine-5 (4H)-one) has shown selective control of weedy rye in the cultivar 'Stephens', (Triticum aestivum). Field, greenhouse, and outdoor pot experiments were conducted to determine factors influencing selectivity. Field...

  • Dinitroaniline-herbicide resistance in goosegrass (Eleusine indica) : ecophysiological aspects

    Creator:
    Valverde, Bernal E.
    Abstract:
    Growth of individual goosegrass (Eleusine indica (L) Gaertn.) plants of three dinitroaniline-herbicide resistant (R) and three susceptible (S) biotypes from North Carolina, South Carolina, and Mississippi was analyzed in greenhouse experiments. Leaf area and biomass measurements, including root, shoot, above-ground, and total dry weights were similar among the biotypes studied....

  • Interference of annual weeds in seedling alfalfa

    Creator:
    Fischer, Albert J.
    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...

  • The influence of herbicide placement in soil on toxicity to emerging seedlings

    Creator:
    Nishimoto, R. K. (Roy Katsuto), 1944-
    Abstract:
    Previous research has indicated several soil-applied herbicides are more effective by exposure to emerging shoots than from root uptake. Studies were conducted in the greenhouse and growth chamber to investigate effects of herbicide placement in soil on toxicity to emerging seedlings. In these studies, an inch of treated soil was...

  • The response of tomatoes to atrazine as affected by magnesium and photoperiod

    Creator:
    Brenchley, Ronald Glenn
    Abstract:
    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...
