The oil is a clear yellow semi-solid fat or butter at ordinary temperature and is excellent for the manufacture of the better classes of soaps. It is expressed by pressure of the crushed seed while hot, and the residue, known as Mowrah meal, is t-he material whic...

Glufosinate efficacy is inconsistent among weed species and under environmental conditions that favor rapid droplet drying. Surfactant-humectant adjuvants could maximize glufosinate by increasing wetting penetration into the leaf surface while decreasing evaporation rate (ER). However, there a lack of information in literature about interaction surfactant-humectants with glufosinate. The object...

Plot-scale field studies were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of steam for the control of cropland weeds in comparison with common herbicides. Weed densities, biomass, or emergence after treatment were measured. Steam (3,200 kg/ha, energy dosage equivalent to 890 kJ/m2, speed of 0.8 m/s) and glyphosate (560 g ai/ha) gave similar control (. 90%) of seedling common lambsquarters and seedling r...

Since seed reserves can influence seed germination, the quantitative and qualitative differences in seed reserves may relate to the germination characteristics of species. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the correlation between germination and seed reserves, as well as their mobilization during germination of six grassland species (Chloris virgata, Kochia scoparia, Lespedeza hedysaroid...
