With the development of new selective herbicides and the frequent
change in commercial wheat cultivars, information is needed as to the
possible interaction between cultivars and herbicides. The responses
of five genotypically diverse wheat cultivars (Bezostaya, Daws, Maris
Hobbit, Stephens and Yamhill) to diuron [3-(3,4-dichloropheny1)-1,1-
dimethylurea], diclofop methyl 2-[4-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)phenoxy]
propanoate...
The behavior of six herbicides in soil was studied under controlled laboratory conditions. Sorption of bromacil, chiorotoluron and diuron was assessed by the batch equilibration procedure over a broad range of aqueous phase sorbate concentration. Linear equilibrium sorption constants (K[subscript p]) were slightly higher at 4° C than at 25°...
Atrazine, atratone and ametryne are asymmetric s-triazine
herbicides used pre- and post-emergence on many crops. Under
conditions unfavorable for microbial activity, these compounds
may persist in the soil for long periods of time.
This study was conducted to determine the influence of the
soil microflora upon atrazine, atratone and ametryne...
Temperate climates are particularly conducive to
growth of annual bluegrass which readily invades and
dominates most cool-season turfgrasses. Ethofumesate
(2-ethoxy-2,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-5-benzofuranyl
methanesulfonate) is one herbicide available which will
selectively control annual bluegrass.
The primary objectives of this research were to
determine optimum application rates and timing of
ethofumesate for control of...
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')...
