Devrinol (Napropamide) Effect on Newly Transplanted Tomato
نویسنده
چکیده
Fresh market tomato production is a $5 billion a year industry. Tomatoes are a warm season vegetable crop with large acreages grown in warm climates such as Florida and California. Tomatoes are also grown in numerous northern states earning premium prices for early production in cooler climates. Tomato production often employs plasticulture, such as the use of plastic mulches, for earliness and improved fruit quality. Plastic mulches offer many advantages including improved and less costly weed control, improved soil moisture retention, less soil compaction, cleaner fruit, and increased maturity as a result of warmer spring soil temperatures.

Humic substances and napropamide interactions in aqueous solution: A fluorescence spectroscopy study
The complexation of organic solutes with dissolved humic substances (HS) is an important process for the fate of these chemicals in natural aquatic systems. We used the Fluorescence Quenching technique to study the interactions between napropamide, a common herbicide, and ten dissolved humic or fulvic acids extracted from different soils and peats. The primary mechanism of napropamide quenching...
متن کاملNapropamide
THE TITLE COMPOUND [SYSTEMATIC NAME: N,N-diethyl-2-(naphthalen-1-yl-oxy)propanamide], C17H21NO2, crystallizes with two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit in which the dihedral angles between the naphthalene ring systems and the amide groups are 88.1 (9) and 88.7 (3)°. Four C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds stabilize the crystal structure.
متن کاملEstimating the Potential for Facilitated Transport of Napropamide by Dissolved Organic Matter
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) has been found to significantly affect the soil sorption/desorption of napropamide [2-(a-naphthoxy-N, N-diethylpropionamide] and to enhance its transport through soil columns. A method to qualitatively predict if DOM will enhance the transport of napropamide based on easily determined sorptive characteristics is investigated. Batch sorption experiments were specif...
متن کاملSurface photochemistry of the herbicide napropamide. The role of the media and environmental factors in directing the fates of intermediates.
The photochemical behaviour of the herbicide napropamide is studied on cellulose and silica surfaces, using steady-state and laser-flash diffuse reflectance techniques. The results are used to probe how the reaction sites of the host matrices influence the photo-reactive pathways. Napropamide undergoes reaction when irradiated with UV (lamps) or visible (sunlight) radiation on both solid suppor...
متن کاملPopulation dynamics of plant nematodes in cultivated soil: length of rotation in newly cleared and old agricultural land.
During a 6-year study of 1-, 2-, and 3-year crop rotations, population densities of Pratylenchus brachyurus, Trichodorus christiei, and Meloidogyne incognita were significantly affected by the choice of crops but not by length of crop rotation. The density of P. brachyurus and T. christiei increased rapidly on milo (Sorghum vulgate). In addition, populations of P. brachyurus increased significa...
