HOE 23408 [ 4-(2' , 4'-dichlorophenoxy)-phenoxy-u-propionic
methylester.1 is a promising new compound for control of wild oats
and other grass weeds in small grains. Several factors influencing
its use for this purpose were investigated.
Greenhouse bioassay studies were conducted in 1975 to determine
relative persistence of HOE 23408 in four...
Some perennial grass seed crops such as red fescue (Festuca rubra
L.) do not produce a profitable seed crop during the first growing
season. The present establishment method in Oregon for red fescue seed
crops generally entails spring planting which does not satisfy
vernalization requirements for seed production in the...

This study was undertaken to obtain information on the quality of grass seed when windrowed at the high moisture levels necessary for obtaining maximum yields. A secondary goal was to monitor moisture and temperature fluctuations in the windrow and to relate their effects to development and deterioration of the seed....
