Naturforsch. 46c, 893-896 (1991); received March 26, 1991 Maize, Imidazolinone, Safeners, Naphthalic Acid, Naphthalic Anhydride, Metabolism The tolerance of maize to root-applied imazethapyr can be increased by pretreating plants with the potassium salt of naphthalic acid (NAK). This safening effect appear...

An imidazolinone-tolerant wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em Thell) mutant in the winter wheat cultivar Fidel has been identified and characterized. The mutant was isolated from a population derived through seed mutagenesis of the variety with an aqueous solution containing sodium azide. Imidazolinone-tolerant wheat seedlings were selected from the M(2) generation of the population in the presence ...

Naphthalic anhydride is a seed-applied herbicide safener which reduces the toxicity of ima­ zethapyr, an imidazolinone herbicide, to maize (Zea mays L.). Protection of maize from ima­ zethapyr was dependent on the amount of naphthalic anhydride applied to the seed. M etabo­ lism of imazethapyr by maize roots and shoots was increased by exposure of the roots to a solution containing naphthalic a...

Experiments were conducted during the summer of 2002 at the Rice Research and Extension Center, Stuttgart, AR, to evaluate: 1) various timings of sequential applications of imazethapyr at 0.063 lb/acre (4 oz Newpath/acre) in conventional and staleseedbed rice planting systems utilizing Clearfield ‘CL-161’ and 2) the timing of clomazone application at various rates and timings in conventional ri...

Imazethapyr is a broad spectrum herbicide used as early post-emergence in pulses, oilseeds and leguminous crops. Imazethapyr is an imidazole compound used as a selective herbicide. The compound controls weeds by reducing the levels of three branched-chain aliphatic amino acids, isoleucine, leucine and valine, through the inhibition of aceto-lactate synthase (ALS), an enzyme common to the biosyn...

The response of RIMI [imazethapyr-tolerant (T)] sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) hybrid and the local imazethapyr-sensitive hybrid "Zoltan" (S) was investigated under controlled conditions. Hybrids grown in pots were treated post-emergence with imazethapyr at the two pairs of leaves stage. Visual injury evaluation and vegetative parameters were recorded. ALS (acetolactate synthase) enzyme activ...

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the efficacy of pendimethalin applied pre-emergence (PRE) followed by post-emergence (POST) application of imazethapyr + imazamox/quizalofop-p-ethyl for weed control and their effect on conventional soybean injury, yield attributes, and yield. Field experiments were conducted in 2013 and 2014 in conventional soybean. Herbicide treatments provided ≥9...

In order to investigate physiological and biochemical changes of wheat under stress residue of Imazethapyr herbicide (Imazethapyr), an experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with four replications in greenhouse conditions at university of Mohaghegh Ardebili. The treatments consisted of five dose levels of herbicide Imazethapyr (0, 0.011, 0.022, 0.033 and 0.044 micrograms of ...

Plant resistance to glyphosate has been reported far less frequently than resistance to sulfonylurea and imidazolinone herbicides. However, these studies tend to be anecdotal, without side by side comparisons for a single species or natural isolate. In this study, we tested the frequencies of resistance of three herbicides in a controlled ethylmethanesulfonate (EMS) saturation mutagenesis exper...
