Field and greenhouse experiments were conducted during 2005 and 2006 at Stoneville, MS, to determine control of ragweed parthenium with several preemergence (PRE) and postemergence (POST) herbicides registered for use in corn, cotton, peanut, rice, and soybean. Norflurazon, pendimethalin, clomazone, diuron, fluometuron, pyrithiobac, dimethenamid, flumetsulam, imazaquin, s-metolachlor, metribuzi...

BACKGROUND: Numerous studies have shown that combining the indigenous fungal pathogen, Mycoleptodiscus terrestris (Gerd.) Ostazeski, hereafter referred to as Mt, with low doses of herbicides has excellent potential as an integrated strategy for long-term management of hydrilla and Eurasian watermilfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum L.) (Netherland and Shearer 1996; Nelson et al. 1998; Shearer and Nels...

A wild-type poplar hybrid and two transgenic clones overexpressing a bacterial gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase in the cytosol or in the chloroplasts were exposed to the chloroacetanilide herbicides acetochlor and metolachlor dispersed in the soil. The transformed poplars contained higher gamma-glutamylcysteine and glutathione (GSH) levels than wild-type plants and therefore it was supposed th...

to examine the effect of mixing graminicide herbicides with liquid fertilizer in gorgan region, an experiment was conducted as factorial arranged in complete randomized block design (rcbd) with three replications at the research farm of islamic azad university of gorgan. the first factor was using topic, pumasuper and axial herbicides with the amounts of 0.8, 1, and 0.5 l/ha-1, respectively. th...

Rhizobia are an important component of sustainable agricultural production. In symbiosis with legumes, they provide adequate amounts nitrogen for their growth and leave in the soil crops that follow rotation. One major threats to symbiotic fixation herbicides. The effect herbicides on can be positive or negative. is manifested stimulation development rhizobia. When negatively affected, efficien...

abstract in order to determine efficacy of some registered graminicides in control of resistant and susceptible ryegrass biotypes, two greenhouse trials were conducted at weed research department of iranian plant protection research institute during 2007. experimental design was completely randomized design with eight replications. the susceptible and resistant biotypes were treated by 19 herbi...

abstract to study the efficacy of glyphosate and nicosulfuron herbicides on barnyardgrass [echinochloa crus-galii (l.) p. beauv.] and velvetleaf (abotilon theophrasti medicus.) control and to find the ed50 index, experiments were conducted as factorial arrangement of treatments 2×7 based on completely randomized design with six replications for each weed in 2008-9 at research greenhouse, ferdow...

in order to evaluate the effect of rimsulfuron, eptc (eradican), oxadiargyl, metribuzin and metribuzin herbicides for controling of lambsquarter (chenopodium album) and prostrate pigweed (amaranthus retroflexus), an experiment was conducted at the mohaghegh ardabili university green house in 2008. a dose-response assay was conducted based on completely randomized design with four replications. ...

in order to reduce herbicide utilization, a 3-year field experiment was carried out with integration of mechanical and chemical weed control methods; in mechanical method, three types of blades (curred- bed knife, square- turn knife and sweep) were used. chemical control was done with chloridazon (wp 80%) and desmedipham (ec 15.7%) in two spraying sheme: once band sparying with 2 l h-1 & twice ...

the toxicity of 7 herbicides to the three cyanobacteria was tested in this work. the results indicated that: (1) there was a highly significant relationship between dried weight or chlorophyll-a and od680nm for tested cyanobacteria; (2) the toxicity of the tested herbicides with the order from high to low was: photosynthesis-inhibiting > accase inhibitor > protox inhibiting herbicides; (3) the ...
