Many herbaceous perennials would benefit from additional branching to provide fuller pots in shorter production times. Cyclanilide (Tiberon, OHP, Inc., Mainland, PA, USA), a new product recently labeled in the USA for branching of woody ornamentals, was evaluated on several herbaceous perennials over two seasons. Cyclanilide was applied as a foliar spray to established plants grown in 1.1-L pot...

Cover crop use in organic rice cropping systems efficiently manages the two most limiting factors agriculture - weed competition and nutrient availability. Nonetheless, cover biomasses on soil surfaces under anaerobic conditions flooded produce acids (mainly acetic acid) that cause early phytotoxicity to seedling coleoptile roots. This study evaluated dose-response of acid germination rates pos...

The phytotoxicity activity of EtOAc extract obtained from Agaricus litoralis showed high on tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) leaves. A well-known phytotoxic metabolite: tyrosol [2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-ethanol], was isolated and identified A. by spectroscopic methods. Phytotoxic tested seven agrarian plants: eggplant (Solanum melongena L.), fig (Ficus carica apricot (Prunus armeniaca peach persi...
