Several studies were conducted to determine if a more consistent
predictor of phytotoxicity to winter oats could be obtained with a
surfactant-herbicide ratio or a per-unit-volume concentration of surfactant,
independent of volume. The herbicides tested were 2,2-dichloropropionic acid (dalapon), 1,1'-dimethyl-4, 4'-bipyridinium
(paraquat), and 3-tert-butyl-5-chloro-6-methyluracil (terbacil) with
the nonionic surfactant X-77...
