The herbicide rate required to reduce growth by 50% (GR₅₀) of 11
cultivars of red fesue (Festuca rubra L. and F. rubra ssp. commutata)
and for four cultivars of bentgrass (Agrostis tenuis Sibth. and A.
stolonifera L. var. palustris) to sethoxydim (2-[1-(ethoxyimino)
butyl]-5-[2-(ethylthio)propyl]-3-hydroxy-2-cyclohexen-1-one) was
determined in greenhouse and laboratory experiments....
Herbicides are being used as a tool by forest managers to speed
the restocking of sites where tree seedlings face competition from
grasses for limited moisture, light and nutrients. Retarded growth
or, more commonly, death of the seedlings would occur if a selective
herbicide was not used to control competing...
The tolerance of woody plants to picloram (4amino-3,5,6-trichloropicolinic acid) has been shown by field applications to vary from mild to extreme. A laboratory study was done to investigate the basic causes for this range of tolerance known to exist among three woody plant species, Fraxinus pennsylvanics, March, (green ash) resistant,...

A series of experiments were conducted from 1983 to 1985 to
determine the effects of dinoseb [2-(1-methylpropyl)-4,6-dinitrophenol]
on winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em Thell) yields. Field trials
on dinoseb timing and dinoseb plus supplemental pesticides were
established in an effort to elucidate the possible factors involved in
the yield...
Purple nutsedge [Cyperus rotundas L.) has been recognized as one of the
most troublesome perennial weeds of agricultural lands in tropical and some
temperate regions. This research sought to determine the effects of timing of
herbicides, shading, and soil moisture on plant population growth and tuber
production of purple nutsedge...
