There was no antagonism between dalapon (2,2-dichloropropionic acid) or TCA (trichloroacetic acid) and BAS 9052 {2 - [1 -(ethoxyimino)butyl] - 5 - [2 -(ethylthio) -propyl] -3-hydroxy-2-cyclohexen-1-one} at 0.3 kg/ha for control of volunteer barley (Hordeum vulgareL. ‘Bonanza’) and wheat (Triticum aestivumL. ‘Neepawa’) in flax (Linum usitatissimumL. ‘Dufferin’). However, MCPA {[(4-chloro-o- tolyl)oxy] acetic acid} amine at 0.2 to 0.6 kg/ha had an antagonistic effect on BAS 9052, especially at 0.1 kg/ha, for control of wild oat (Avena fatuaL.). BAS 9052 at 0.3 kg/ha overcame this antagonistic effect of MCPA. Field results confirmed that wild oat control with BAS 9052 at 0.3 kg/ha was not reduced by the mixtures with each of four broadleaf weed herbicides at 0.6 kg/ha. The mixtures gave excellent control of grass and broadleaf weeds. Flax seed yields were five times that of the unsprayed check and were equal to the yield of the handweeded treatment.

Uptake and translocation of 14C label from S-2,3-dichloroallyl N,N-diisopropylthiolcarbamate (diallate) by roots and coleoptiles of wild oat (Avena fatua L.), wheat (Triticum aestivum L., var. Selkirk), barley (Hordeum vulgare L., var. Traill), and flax (Linum usitatissimum L., var. Bolley) were compared. The pattern of 14C label uptake and movement was similar in wild oat, barley, and wheat. However, translocation of the 14C label to the roots of wild oat was less than for barley. Although differential uptake and translocation per se did not appear to account for the selectivity of diallate for wild oat, some differences in translocation may have beep the result of metabolic breakdown products.

The response of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and wild oat (Avena fatua L.) to barban (4-chloro-2-butynyl-m-chlorocarbanilate) was studied as influenced by plant morphology and air temperature after application. Growth of wheat and wild oat seedlings was reduced by barban at 0.3 μg and 0.6 μg applied to the first node, respectively. Barban application to the base and midpoint of the first leaf blade required a lower dose to reduce wild oat growth than wheat growth. Increased tillering occurred from barban injury to the main culm in wheat. Wheat and wild oat susceptibility to barban increased as the post-treatment temperature decreased from 32 to 10 C. Barban selectivity for wild oats in wheat was greater at 27 and 21 C than at 16 and 10 C.

Experiments were conducted with isolated protoplasts of wild oat (Avena fatuaL. # AVEFA) and isolated chloroplasts of wild oat and wheat (Triticum aestivumL.), to determine if the methyl sulfate salt of difenzoquat (1,2-dimethyl-3,5-diphenyl-1H-pyrazolium) might influence photoreactions in these species. Difenzoquat did not affect CO2fixation, uncoupled electron transport, or proton uptake. At concentrations of 0.5 mM and 1 mM, difenzoquat caused a slight, but statistically significant, inhibition of photophosphorylation. Experiments assaying coupled electron transport indicated that inhibition of photophosphorylation occurred not through uncoupling, but by an energy-transfer inhibition. This same effect was observed in isolated mitocondria of both species, with about 50% inhibition of state 3 respiration rates occurring with 10 μM difenzoquat. However, no important differentials were observed in the relative susceptibilities of wheat and wild oat mitochondria. Difenzoquat also functioned as a weak autooxidizing electron acceptor in photosynthetic electron transport. Therefore, difenzoquat-induced leaf chlorosis and necrosis may result from a bipyridilium-type electron acceptor activity if sufficient herbicide is absorbed.

The interaction between diclofop-methyl {2-[4-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)phenoxy] methyl propanoate} and 2,4-D [(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)acetic acid] was evaluated. Foliar applications of the two herbicides in a tank mixture were antagonistic with respect to wild oat (Avena fatuaL.) control. Application of mixtures of the two herbicides to wild oat roots resulted in an additive herbicidal effect. The acid form of 2,4-D was determined to be the component of the 2,4-D formulation that reduced the toxicity of foliar-applied diclofop-methyl to wild oat. Analysis of diclofop-methyl solutions with and without added 2,4-D revealed no degradation products of dichlofop-methyl, nor any evidence of complexing between diclofop-methyl and 2,4-D. Addition of 2,4-D to the diclofop-methyl spray solution did not affect diclofop-methyl spray retention by, or penetration into, wild oat leaves. Movement of radioactivity to roots and to shoot apices following application of14C-diclofop-methyl to wild oat leaves was reduced by addition of 2,4-D to the treatment solution. Deesterification of diclofop-methyl was inhibited by 2,4-D. The accumulation of diclofop-methyl in these wild oat leaves resulted in membrane damage and leaf necrosis. Symplastic movement of the des-methyl acid, diclofop, to sensitive meristematic areas was reduced. As insufficient toxicant reached meristematic areas to permanently interrupt meristematic activity, the wild oat plants were able to outgrow the contact damage to their leaves.

The selectivity of {2-[4-(2′,4′-dichlorophenoxy) phenoxy] methyl propionate}, (hereinafter referred to as dichlofop methyl), among wheat (Triticum aestivumL. ‘Neepawa’), barley (Hordeum vulgareL. ‘Bonanza’), wild oat (Avena fatuaL.), and green foxtail (Setaria viridis(L.) Beauv.) was investigated. On an ED50basis, barley, wild oat, and green foxtail were 2, 190, and 1,090 times more sensitive, respectively, to foliar-applied dichlofop methyl at the two-leaf stage than was wheat. Selectivity decreased with increasing maturity of the plant material with the ratio of selectivity between barley and wild oat decreasing from 55 at the two-leaf stage to three at the four-leaf-plus-one-tiller stage. Greater spray retention and more rapid penetration of dichlofop methyl partially explained the susceptibility of green foxtail, but did not explain selectivity between wheat, wild oat, and barley. Root uptake of14C-dichlofop methyl by the four species was proportional to the amount of solution absorbed during the treatment period and to the concentration of dichlofop methyl in the treatment solution but was not related to species sensitivity to this herbicide.

Rates and application timings of postemergence herbicides for wild oat control in spring wheat and barley were evaluated at Crookston, MN, from 1994 to 1996. Diclofop, imazamethabenz, and fenoxaprop plus MCPA plus thifensulfuron plus tribenuron were applied to one- to three-leaf wild oat; and difenzoquat, imazamethabenz, fenoxaprop plus MCPA plus thifensulfuron plus tribenuron, and fenoxaprop plus 2,4-D plus MCPA were applied to four- to five-leaf wild oat at 1/2 ×, 3/4 ×, and 1 × rates. Wild oat response to herbicide rate and timing was similar in wheat and barley. Wild oat control with 1/2 × rates generally was less than that with 3/4 × rates, which was lower than or similar to that with 1 × rates. Wild oat biomass was often reduced less with 1/2 × rates than 1 × rates. However, reducing herbicide rates generally did not influence grain yields or net economic return. Grain yields and net economic return were generally greater in herbicide-treated plots than in the nontreated control.

The influence of incorporation vs no incorporation on the efficacy of granular triallate applied in mid-October at 1400 and 1700 g ai/ha to control wild oat was evaluated in spring wheat in west central Saskatchewan over a 7-yr period. All fall-applied triallate reduced wild oat panicles and fresh weight, and increased yield compared to untreated checks. With applications in standing wheat stubble there was no difference in wild oat control from incorporation versus no incorporation. All triallate treatments reduced wild oat panicles and fresh weight by over 95%, and resulted in wheat yield increases ranging from 29 to 67%. In tilled fallow, incorporated granules provided better wild oat control than when there was no incorporation. Wheat yield increases ranged from 50 to 85% for triallate treatments with yield for incorporated triallate approximately 15% greater than non-incorporated. The rate of triallate did not affect the level of wild oat control achieved with either incorporation method. In separate tolerance studies triallate incorporation method did not affect spring wheat emergence or subsequent development.

Wild oat (Avena fatua L.) competition severely reduced flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) yield. Averaged over two locations and two fertility levels, 80 wild oat plants/sq yd reduced the yield 9.4 bu/A (60.1%) in 1964 and 160 wild oat plants/sq yd reduced the yield 21.5 bu/A (82.1%) in 1965. At Fargo, 160 wild oat plants/sq yd reduced flaxseed yield 16.1 bu/A (86.1%) in 1966. Flaxseed yield components, including bolls/sq ft, seeds/boll, plants/sq ft, and weight/1000 flaxseed were determined. Although all components were reduced by wild oat competition, a reduction in the number of branches and flax bolls/sq ft accounted for 90.7% of the yield loss. A reduction in weight/1000 seed and the number of flax plants/sq ft contributed 7.0% and 4.6% to the yield loss, respectively. Competition from wild oat also reduced flaxseed quality. The percent oil was reduced in all 3 years of the experiment. Iodine number of the oil was reduced, primarily because of an increase in oleic acid and a decrease in linolenic acid.
