Two-year field dissipation studies were conducted in three soil types in Minnesota to examine the processes affecting the dissipation of the herbicide isoxaflutole and its phytotoxic diketonitrile metabolite (DKN) under relatively cool, wet soil conditions. Plots of cuphea were treated with isoxaflutole and potassium bromide, a nonsorbed, nondegraded tracer. Replicate soil cores were collected ...

field experiments were conducted in zanjan, markazi, esfahan, and chaharmahal va bakhtiari provinces to evaluate imazetapyr herbicide efficiency for weed control in common bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.) in 2006. there were four replications at each site and treatments were arranged in a randomized complete block design. in zanjan, maximum weed biomass reduction by 91 and 88 percent were achieved ...

Changes in species richness and productivity in a Mediterranean dwarf-shrub community were documented during 5 years following treatments intended to improve soil fertility and reduce shrub cover. Five treatments, replicated five times, were tested: (a) shrub cover reduction by selective herbicide application; (b) application of medium levels of phosphorus; (c) application of high doses of phos...

Fluorescent dye was applied concurrently with triclopyr in two 6.5-ha treatment plots in Lake Minnetonka, MN for data collection to support full aquatic registration of this herbicide. The herbicide and dye mixture was applied by airboat to Phelps Bay with weighted, trailing hoses to maximize uniform distribution of these materials in the water column. A surface application was made to the Cars...

abstract in order to determine efficacy of some registered graminicides in control of resistant and susceptible ryegrass biotypes, two greenhouse trials were conducted at weed research department of iranian plant protection research institute during 2007. experimental design was completely randomized design with eight replications. the susceptible and resistant biotypes were treated by 19 herbi...

Hormesis is a common response of both herbicide-susceptible and herbicide-resistant plants to herbicides. Herbicide resistance in weeds rapidly evolving, although little studied, there growing evidence that hormesis plays role the changes sensitivity weed populations This can occur susceptible which favors subpopulation more vigorous plants. At recommended application doses for control, hormeti...
