In southern pine seedbeds, weed control relies on the use of diphenylether herbicides (oxyfluorfen, lactofen) and selective grass herbicides (sethoxydim and fluzifop-p-butyl). A number of nurseries use a polymer to stabilize the soil after sowing. This helps keep the herbicide barrier intact and extends the preemergence activity. Weekly postemergence applications of low rates are common and hav...

The genotoxic effects of the herbicide oxyfluorfen on root meristem cells Heianthus annuus L. (sunflower) were investigated. roots treated with 75, 150, and 300 ppm concentrations for 12 24 h. different genetic endpoints such as mitotic index (MI), chromosome aberrations (CA), micronuclei (MN) analyzed in both control test groups. showed a marked mitodepressive action mitosis. Additionally, MN ...

An experiment was conducted at DKS College of Agriculture and Research Station, Bhatapara, Chhattisgarh to judge the profitability suitability different weed management in field pea clay loam soil. Experiments with 12 treatment combination indicates that depends upon availability labour, rabi could be achieved through 2 hand weeding 20 40 days after sowing. The study also reveals application of...
