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...
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...
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...
The study of the effects of cropping systems on buried weed
seed is very costly. Most of the experiments of this nature were
conducted prior to the introduction of herbicides. New techniques,
material and methods are needed and could result in more research
in this area of study.
A polyester...
The investigations were based on a complete diallel cross
among three inbred lines of Hereford cattle. Records of Angus calves
born during the same period were used to obtain more accurate
estimates of environmental effects and to determine breed differences
among the various traits included in the study. Estimates of...
Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) cultivars are known to differ quantitatively in their photothermal floral inductive requirements. The extent to which these requirements are met influences the potential for subsequent panicle exsertion. A better understanding of the inductive requirements as they vary among cultivars would aid in the selection and...
Raspberries have been popular since the time of the ancient Greeks. Red raspberries are cultivated throughout the world, particularly in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States and Canada. The raspberry bushy dwarf virus (RBDV) causes significant reduction in yield and crumbly fruit in raspberries, blackberries and raspberry-blackberry hybrids....
