wild barley has invaded wheat fields ever since flamprop-isopropyl was outdated in iran. newly developed herbicides such as sulfosulfuron or sulfosulfuron plus metsulfuron-methyl can control it at higher than recommended dosages, but causing significant wheat injury. hence, two dose-response experiments were conducted to evaluate their efficacy when tank-mixed with thirteen different vegetable ...

introduction: weed competition is one of the major factors which limit sugar beet production in the world. weed – crop interactions are based on competition for water, nutrients and light and allelopathic effects may also play a small role. in sugar beet weed interference, all these factors are important too, but the light is of prime importance. due to the fact that a lot of weeds can grow abo...

Photosystem II (PSII) herbicides have been detected in nearshore tropical waters such as those of the Great Barrier Reef and may add to the pressure posed by runoff containing sediments and nutrients to threatened seagrass habitats. There is a growing number of studies into the potential effects of herbicides on seagrass, generally using large experimental setups with potted plants. Here we des...

Abstract Palmer amaranth ( Amaranthus palmeri S. Watson) is one of the most problematic weeds in many cropping systems midsouthern United States because its multiple weedy traits and propensity to evolve resistance herbicides with different mechanisms action. In Arkansas, A. has evolved metabolic S -metolachlor, compromising effectiveness an important weed management tool. Greenhouse studies we...

Weekly composite air samples were collected from early April through to mid-September 1995 at three paired urban and agricultural sites along the Mississippi River region of the Midwestern United States. The paired sampling sites were located in Mississippi, Iowa, and Minnesota. A background site, removed from dense urban and agricultural areas, was located on the shore of Lake Superior in Mich...

Weed control is generally the first major decision to be made once alfalfa has germinated. Managing weeds in a timely manner is necessary to provide maximum production of high quality alfalfa hay. A poor weed management decision can lead to stand loss, poor quality hay, unacceptable weed control, alfalfa injury and a loss of money. Herbicides are applied to 75% of newly planted alfalfa in Calif...

various adjuvants carry out different functions depending on the herbicides types and the target species. outdoor pot experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of three post-emergence herbicides, namely, clodinafop-propargyl, haloxyfop-p-methyl, and difenzoquat-methyl-sulfate, as influenced by two adjuvants, on wild oat (avena ludoviciana durieu.) control. the study was carried out at ...

The in vitro effect of five commonly used herbicides viz., pyridate, fluazifop-P-butyl, foramsulfuron, tembotrione and Smetolachlor on mycelial growth of entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana (ATCC 74040) was evaluated each at different concentrations: 100, 75, 50, 25, 12.5, 6.25 and 0% of recommended field application rate on PDA agar plates at 15 and 25°C. The herbicides tested were clas...
