Abstract Tolpyralate is a 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase–inhibiting herbicide that applied postemergence for control of annual broadleaf and grass weeds in corn. Current Canadian label recommendations tolpyralate specify the addition methylated seed oil (MSO) adjuvant (MSO Concentrate®) improved weed control. The efficacy with other proprietary adjuvants has not been widely reported peer-r...

Twelve field trials were conducted over a three-year period (2010, 2011, 2012) at different locations in southwestern Ontario, Canada to compare various two-pass weed management strategies in glyphosate-resistant corn for crop injury, weed control, environmental impact, corn yield and profit margin. No visible injury resulted from the herbicide treatments evaluated. One early postemergence (EPO...

Eighteen volatile monoterpenes, which are among the major constituents of essential oils from plants, were screened for phytotoxicity to several crop and weed species. Several monoterpenes containing an oxygen function severely inhibited germination of four different annual weeds while concurrently displaying little effect on soybean germination. Soybeans varied in their sensitivity to various ...

We compared photosynthesis and growth of Zea mays L (corn) and four weed species, Setaria viridis (L) Beauv (green foxtail), Echinochloa crus-galli (L) Beauv (barnyardgrass), Abutilon theophrasti Medic (velvetleaf), and Amaranthus retroflexus L (redroot pigweed), following foliar applications with atrazine, mesotrione, or a combination of atrazine and mesotrione in two greenhouse experiments. P...

Abstract Tolpyralate is commonly mixed with atrazine for improved control of common annual weed species in corn production systems the United States and Canada. Weed efficacy this mixture enhanced addition methylated seed oil (MSO) Concentrate®; however, there little information on tolpyralate + other proprietary adjuvants. Therefore, four trials were conducted at field research sites Ontario, ...

Light availability has a profound effect on plant growth and development. One of the ways to study the effects of light intensity on plant growth and development without the confounding problem of photosynthate availability is sucrose injection/supplementation. A greenhouse experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of light levels (0% and 75% shade) and sucrose injection (distilled water...

Accurate information on the spatial distribution of weeds is key to effective site-specific weed management and efficient sustainable use control measures. This work focuses early detection johnsongrass, common cocklebur velvetleaf present in a corn field using high resolution airborne hyperspectral imagery acquired when plants were four six leaf growth stage. Following appropriate radiometric ...

Greenhouse studies were conducted to evaluate the effects of soil organic matter content and pH on initial residual weed control with flumioxazin by planting selected species in various lab-made field soils. Initial was determined seeds into soils treated (71 g ha−1). Seeds Echinochloa crus-galli (barnyard grass), Setaria faberi (giant foxtail), Amaranthus retroflexus (redroot pigweed), Abutilo...
