The resolved isomer of metolachlor, S-metolachlor, was registered in 1997. New formulations based primarily on the S-metolachlor isomer are more active on a gram for gram metolachlor basis than formulations based on a racemic mixture of metolachlor containing a 50:50 ratio of the R and S isomers. The labelled use rates of S-metolachlor-based products were reduced by 35% to give equivalent weed ...

ٍearly watergrass (echinochloa oryzicola (ard) fisher) is an aggressive specie of echinochloa and have mimicry chareterstics of rice . in order to evaluate competitive effect of aggressive specie of echinochloa on rice, an experiment was conducted at the rice research institute of rasht during 2007. the experimental design was complete randomized block with three replications. the treatment incl...

The motional dependence of clock rates and the related problem of synchronization are analyzed. It is shown that any possible motional effect on observed clock rates can be experimentally determined by the use of unsynchronized clocks alone, and that in consequence this result can be utilized to synchronize a system of clocks without light signals and without any assumptions whatever regarding ...

Millets are major food and feed sources in the developing world especially in the semiarid tropical regions of Africa and Asia. The most widely cultivated millets are pearl mil‐ let [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.], finger millet [Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn], foxtail millet [Setaria italica (L.) P. Beauvois], Japanese barnyard millet [Echinochloa esculneta (A. Braun) H. Scholz], Indian Barny...

1. Opportunities for diversifying the management of weedy populations may be enhanced through accurate predictions of seedling emergence, because the timing and success of control measures often hinges on the timing of weed emergence. We used population-based threshold models to establish the temperature, moisture and oxygen conditions for optimum germination of herbicide-resistant and -suscept...
