Alfalfa Weevil Control In Alfalfa, 1995

Nutsedge (cyperus Spp) Control in Alfalfa

The competitive advantage of purple and yellow nutsedge in low desert alfalfa production areas of Southern California and Arizona is due to a combination of factors. These include frequent harvest and irrigation, high incident solar radiation, high summer temperatures that are supraoptimal for alfalfa growth, and the presence of C4 photosynthesis and vegetative reproduction (e.g., tubers) in nu...

Alfalfa Plants

Experiments were performed in a laboratory chamber to investigate the influence of alfalfa plants on the fate and transport of trichloroethylene (TCE) fed at 200 μl/l concentration in the entering ground water. Concentrations of TCE in the aqueous and gas phases were regularly monitored in the chamber. Evapotranspirational fluxes of TCE were also reported from the soil to the headspace of the c...
