Preemergence Herbicides

A field and greenhouse study was conducted to determine the relative effectiveness of preemergence herbicides applied at low volume (9.35 to 37.4 L/ha) and conventional volume (187 L/ha). In the field study 11 preemergence herbicides were applied to plots seeded with seven weed species. Five herbicides were used in the greenhouse study each applied at five rates and two volumes. Both field and greenhouse results indicated that water soluble materials and emulsifiable concentrates which need not be incorporated can be applied at low volume with results comparable to conventional volume application. Field results suggested wettable powders can be applied low volume with success; however, greenhouse results indicated that with present equipment and technique wettable powders are not well suited for low volume application. Incorporated materials were included only in the field study and gave irregular results.

Water Ph

AbstractCarrier water pH is an important factor for enhancing herbicide efficacy. Coapplying agrochemical products with the herbicide might save time and resources; however, the negative effect of foliar fertilizers on herbicide efficacy should be thoroughly evaluated. In greenhouse studies, the effect of carrier water pH (4, 6.5, and 9), foliar fertilizer (zinc [Zn], manganese [Mn], or without fertilizer), and ammonium sulfate (AMS) at 0% or 2.5% vol/vol was evaluated on 2,4-D and premixed 2,4-D plus glyphosate efficacy for giant ragweed, horseweed, and Palmer amaranth control. In addition, a field study was conducted to evaluate the effect of carrier water pH (4, 6.5, and 9); and Zn or Mn foliar fertilizer on premixed 2,4-D plus glyphosate efficacy for horseweed and Palmer amaranth control. In the greenhouse study, 2,4-D and premixed 2,4-D plus glyphosate provided 5% greater weed control at acidic compared with alkaline carrier water pH. Coapplied Mn foliar fertilizer reduced 2,4-D and premixed 2,4-D plus glyphosate efficacy at least 5% for weed control. Addition of AMS enhanced 2,4-D and premixed 2,4-D plus glyphosate efficacy at least 6% for giant ragweed, horseweed, and Palmer amaranth control. In the field study, few significant differences occurred between coapplied Zn or Mn foliar fertilizer for any treatment variables. Therefore, carrier water pH, coapplied foliar fertilizer, and water-conditioning adjuvants have potential to influence herbicide performance. However, weed species could play a role in the differential response of these factors on herbicide efficacy.

Preemergence Herbicides

Abstract Four experiments were conducted to investigate herbicides currently labeled for field and/or container production for use in pot-in-pot production. Southern magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora L.), red maple (Acer rubrum Spach. ‘Autumn Flame’ and ‘Franksred’), ornamental pear (Pyrus calleryana Decne. ‘Bradford’ and ‘Cleveland Select’), river birch (Betula nigra L.), green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica Marsh. and F. pennsylvanica Marsh.‘Marshall's Seedless’), and zelkova (Zelkova serrata Spach ‘Village Green’) were evaluated for herbicide tolerance. Barricade 65WG, Surflan 4AS, and Pendulum 60WDG, used alone or in combination with Princep and Gallery 75 DF, had no adverse effect on tree shoot growth or trunk caliper growth when applied as a directed band application. Weed control varied depending upon local site conditions, herbicide rate and weed species.

The present study was conducted to determine the diversity of weed species in wheat fields of the district Rajouri (JandK). For analyzing diversity 20 quadrats of (1m.×1m.) were randomly laid down in each block. In every set of quadrat frequency, density and abundance was observed throughout the cropping season and IVI (Important value index) was determined. During the course of field study it was reported that the maximum infestation was shown by grassy weed Avena fatua having maximum density (10.15, 12.12, 7.30, 9.35, 10.6, 8.55 from site 1-6 respectively) and IVI (35.71, 43.49, 30.27, 33.91, 32.59, 32.11 from site 1-6 respectively) in all the selected sites. While the least dominant weeds were Calotropis procera, Conyza japonica, Cannabis sativa, Rumex acetosa, Euphorbia prolifera and Sonchus asper etc. A total of 116 weed species belonging to 3 monocot and 27dicot families were reported from the target site.

Abstract Research objectives were to determine the effect of fertilization method (incorporation, subdress, and topdress) on weed growth and the performance of preemergence herbicides applied to soilless substrates. Nursery containers were filled with a pine bark:peat substrate and fertilized at two different rates [4.4 and 9.5 kg.m−3 (8.9 and 19.2 lb.yd−3)] via topdressing, subdressing, or incorporating. Containers were treated with either dimethenamid-P for spotted spurge (Euphorbia maculata L.), flumioxazin for eclipta (Eclipta prostrata L.) or prodiamine for large crabgrass (Digitaria sanguinalis L.). A control was established for each fertilizer rate/placement and weed species that was not treated. Incorporating or subdressing fertilizer resulted in reduced large crabgrass and spotted spurge growth in non-treated containers. Weeds grew larger at the higher fertility rates in both topdress and incorporated treatments but fertilizer rate did not affect growth of spotted spurge or large crabgrass when fertilizers were subdressed. Herbicides generally provided commercially acceptable weed control regardless of fertilizer treatment, but results varied with species. Results suggest that in the absence of herbicides, topdressing may result in greater weed growth compared with subdressing or incorporating fertilizers; however, fertilizer placement will have less impact on herbicide performance if proper herbicides are chosen and applied correctly.

The antidote R-25788 (N,N-diallyl-2,2-dichloroacetamide) protected corn (Zea mays L. ‘DeKalb 315A’) seedlings from injury caused by the acetanilide herbicides, alachlor [2-chloro-2′,6′-diethyl-N-(methoxymethyl)acetanilide], metolachlor [2-chloro-N-(2-ethyl-6-methylphenyl)-N-(2-methoxy-1-methylethyl)acetamide], H-22234 [N-chloroacetyl-N-(2,6-diethylphenyl)glycine ethyl ester], and H-26910 [N-chloroacetyl-N-(2-methyl-6-ethylphenyl)glycine isopropyl ester] in a greenhouse study. R-25788, however, did not protect four weed species tested. R-25788 only partially protected corn from injury caused by acetochlor [2-chloro-N-(ethoxymethyl)-6′-ethyl-o-acetotoluidide]. R-25788 was an effective antidote whether applied preemergence, preplant-incorporated, or as a tank mix. Injury symptoms caused by EPTC (S-ethyl dipropylthiocarbamate) and the acetanilide herbicides were similar; both caused leaf twisting and rolling, and at high rates leaves failed to emerge through the coleoptile.

Differential Control

Differential napropamide [2-(α-naphthoxy)-N,N-diethylpropionamide] tolerance by redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexusL.) and prostrate pigweed (Amaranthus blitoidesS. Wats.) was noted in field study. Redroot pigweed was readily controlled whereas prostrate pigweed was not. Germination studies in which both pigweed species were directly exposed to napropamide (0 to 25 ppm) indicated that prostrate pigweed was the most susceptible of the two species. Root growth rates of untreated prostrate pigweed were 30% greater than redroot pigweed. When seeds of both species were germinated in a 4-cm layer of napropamide in greenhouse study each species was controlled equally well. Exposure of germinating seedlings of the two pigweed species to napropamide 1 day before emergence resulted in differential control. Seedlings of redroot pigweed never developed beyond the cotyledon stage; whereas, prostrate pigweed seedlings were initially suppressed by the herbicide, but surviving plants continued to grow. An early preemergence application or mechanical incorporation of napropamide should enhance control of prostrate pigweed.

In greenhouse tests, the host specificity ofAlternaria crassa(Sacc.) Rands, a mycoherbicide for jimsonweed was altered by the addition of water-soluble filtrates of jimsonweed and hemp sesbania or fruit pectin to fungal conidia suspensions. Several crop and weed species that were resistant to the fungus alone exhibited various degrees of susceptibility following these amendments, with 100% mortality occurring to the weeds hemp sesbania, showy crotalaria, and eastern black nightshade when treated with the fungus/pectin mixture. Nonhost plants that were inoculated with conidial mixtures amended with sucrose or cellulose were not affected. Modification of host specificity of this pathogen could have an influence on its bioherbiddal potential
