Effects of Turbidity on Fluridone Treatments for Curlyleaf Pondweed Control
نویسندگان
چکیده
PURPOSE: A small-scale study was conducted to evaluate fluridone (1-methyl-3-phenyl-5-[3trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-4(1H)-pyridinone) efficacy under varying levels of turbidity when controlling curlyleaf pondweed (Potamogeton crispus L.). There is no information on the effect of turbidity on fluridone efficacy against curlyleaf pondweed. It is unknown if turbidity impacts aqueous fluridone concentrations in the water column, thereby lessening herbicide efficacy and reducing control, or whether turbid conditions create additional stress that could intensify herbicide effects, causing greater plant injury and deterioration.

When applied to young nondormant embryos of sunflower (Hellanthus annus) (7-10 day[s] after pollination [DAP]), abscisic acid (ABA) inhibited germination as long as it was present. However, whatever the dose used and the duration of its application, ABA was unable to induce dormancy because after transfer of treated embryos to control (without ABA) medium, germination occurred. Thereafter, exog...
