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...
Studies were conducted to determine the site of 2-chloro
2', 6'-diethyl-N-(methoxymethyl) acetanilide (CP 50144) toxicity on
barnyardgrass (Echinocloa crusgalli (L.) (Beauv.). This was done
by means of a technique which used separate layers of treated soil
to expose differentially the roots and/or the shoots of barnyardgrass
seedlings. Coleoptiles that emerged...
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...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the activity of Sindone (isomers of 1, 1-dimethyl-diisopropyl-indanyl ethyl ketone) under field conditions and to gain information regarding the rate of detoxification of Sindone in soil. A series of trials were established in sugar beet fields in California, Oregon, and Washington. Sindone...
It is imperative that residues of these compounds be eliminated in poultry and eggs or be within the tolerances established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration when your flock is marketed or eggs are sold. Commercial chicken and turkey flocks are tested for...
An important inoculum source of Leptosphaeria maculans and L. biglobosa (syn Plenodomus spp.), the pathogens that cause black leg in Brassicaceae crops, is infected plant residues. The general acceptance of conservation tillage in the Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA, has enabled a build-up in the amount of residue on or near...
Several studies were conducted to determine the effect of weed
density on herbicide efficacy. Diuron [3-(3, 4- dichlorophenyl) -1, 1-
dimethylurea] was tested on various densities of Italian ryegrass
(Lolium multiflorum Lam. ) under greenhouse and field conditions.
Cycloate (S-ethyl N-ethylthiocyclohexanecarbamate) was tested on
green foxtail (Setaria viridis (L. )...
HOE 23408 [methyl 2-[ 4-( 2, 4- dichlorophenoxy )phenoxy]propanoate]
is a herbicide used to selectively-control Italian ryegrass
(Lolium muitiflorum Lam.) and wild oats (Avena fatua L.) in wheat.
The objective of this research was to compare the relative importance
of foliar and root uptake of the herbicide in these two...
Investigations were made in the field, greenhouse, growth
chamber, and laboratory to: (a) observe the general activity of N-
(phosphonomethyl)glycine (glyphosate); (b) determine the extent of its
interaction with certain s-triazine herbicides; and (c) find an explanation
for such an interaction.
Greenhouse and growth chamber studies substantiated other
observations that...
