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 ...

Abstract Weed control efficacy and ornamental plants tolerance to dimethenamid–p (0.75%) + pendimethalin (1%) granular herbicide was evaluated in flat tray-grown weeds container-grown plants. Dimethenamid – p at 2.94 kg ai.ha–1 (2.62 lb ai.A–1) controlled the tested broadleaf grassy >80% for up 8 wk following application. The higher rates of ≥5.88 (≥5.25 provided 94% 99% weed species but...
