Maize ranks first among worldwide production and an important source of human animal feed. Its can be affected by management practices climatic conditions. The objective this study was to estimate stability yield hundred grains weight six maize genotypes during two growing seasons at locations, subjected four different treatments: T1 treatment—without herbicide, Control; T2 treatment—active sub...

Field studies were conducted in 2007 and 2008 near Nyssa, OR, and Pasco and Paterson, WA to evaluate yellow nutsedge and broadleaf weed control and potato tolerance to imazosulfuron. No injury symptoms from imazosulfuron were evident on potato at Nyssa, whereas in Washington, imazosulfuron caused some chlorosis of potato foliage ranging from 6 to 15% and , 4% at 6 and 15 d after POST applicatio...

We report on the development and validation under ISO 17025 criteria of a multi-residue confirmatory method to identify and quantify 17 widely chemically different pesticides (insecticides: Carbofuran, Methiocarb, Pirimicarb, Dimethoate, Fipronil, Imidacloprid; herbicides: Amidosulfuron, Rimsulfuron, Atrazine, Simazine, Chloroturon, Linuron, Isoxaflutole, Metosulam; fungicides: Diethofencarb) a...

Abstract In the transition zone, turfgrass managers generally utilize dormancy period of warm-season to apply herbicides for managing winter annual weeds. Although this weed control strategy is common in bermudagrass, it has been less adopted zoysiagrass ( Zoysia spp.) due variable injury during post-dormancy transition. Previous research reported that air temperature could affect and crop safe...

efficacy of many herbicides to control broad- and narrow-leaf weeds (grass weeds) in tobacco fields of mazandaran and guilan provinces was investigated. the experiment was randomized complete blocks design in four replications and the following treatments: eptam (eradicane 82% ec) at 6 l.ha-1 which incorporated pre-planting (ppi), trifluralin (treflan 48% ec) at 2 l/ha ppi, cycloate (roneet 72....

Cropping sequence and length of rotation play an important role in potato production. Too often, growers are forced to base their cropping system decisions on short-term economic survival. Our market-based economy rewards economic efficiency and has helped push the trend to larger farms with lower production costs. Improving economic efficiency, with large, specialized potato equipment, means f...
