Two invasive weed species, Eurasian watermilfoil ( Myriophyllum spicatum L.) and parrotfeather [ Myriophyllum aquaticum (Vell.) Verdc.], were grown in outdoor mesocosms to determine the efficacy of carfentrazone-ethyl (a,2-dichloro-5[4-(difluoromethyl)-4,5-dihydro-3-methyl-5-oxo-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl]-4-fluorobenzenepropanoic acid, ethyl ester), alone and in combination with 2,4-D, a herbicide ...

Naturforsch. 49c, 791-801 (1994); received May 30/July 11, 1994 Chenopodium rubrum, Photoautotrophic Cell Cultures, Herbicide Resi...

A soil-active herbicide (hexazinone) was applied (0, 2, and 4 kg/ha of active ingredient) in a 3-year-old regenerating boreal Populus tremuloides Michx. (aspen) clearcut to determine its effect on the compositional and structural development of the vegetation. Woody stem densities and plant foliar cover were evaluated prior to and 2, 6, and 17 years after treatment. Herbicide treatment at the 2...

in order to study of the effect of nitrogen source, operation method and weed control methods on weed biomass, yield and yield components of corn (zea mays l.) an experiment was carried out as split plot factorial based on randomized complete block design (rcbd) with four replications in shahrood university of technology. the treatments included weed control methods at four levels (hand weeding...

Experiments were conducted in a laboratory and an outdoor mesocosm system to evaluate the liquid AVAST!® fluridone formulation for control of Eurasian watermilfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum). In addition, physiological assays were used to monitor plant injury during herbicide exposure. Eurasian watermilfoil was planted in 52-L aquaria, grown to precanopy condition (21 days), then dosed with 0, 10,...

BACKGROUND Glyphosate-based herbicides are the most widely used pesticides in agriculture, horticulture, municipalities and private gardens that can potentially contaminate nearby water bodies inhabited by amphibians and algae. Moreover, the development and diversity of these aquatic organisms could also be affected by human-induced climate change that might lead to more periods with extreme te...

today, due to the problems caused by herbicide application, there is a strong interest in developing alternative methods of weed control. to study the effects of soil solarization, barley straw mulch on weed flora, a field experiment was conducted at research station of faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad during the growing season of 2007-2008. this experiment was based on a ...

Leaf slices of the sethoxydim sensitive grasses Poa pratensis and Festuca ovina and the sethoxy­ dim resistant grasses Poa annua and Festuca rubra take up the herbicide at similar rates. Uptake is almost linear with concentration up to 2 m M , independent of light and little affected by tempera­ ture between 0 and 25 °C. Uptake is highly pH sensitive. At pH 7.0 rates o f uptake are only about 2...

in this experiment which was conducted at a field of ramin agriculture and natural resources university (khouzestan, iran) in 2005, the effect of molinate at 0 (weedy check), 2.16, 3.6 and 5 kg/ha and seeding rate of 100, 120 and 140 kg/ha was evaluated on the competition between rice and barnyard grass (echinochloa crus-galli) in a split plot design with four replication. the interaction effec...

The Mississippi Delta Management Systems Evaluation Area (MD-MSEA) project was established in 1994 in three small watersheds (202 to 1,497 ha) that drain into oxbow lakes (Beasley, Deep Hollow, and Thighman). The primary research objective was to assess the implications of management practices on water quality. Monthly monitoring of herbicide concentrations in lake water was conducted from 2000...
