This study compared allelopathic effects of three winter cereals, winter wheat (Triticum aestivum), winter rye (Secale cereale) and winter triticale (Triticale hexaploide Lart.) on seed germination of redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus), green foxtail (Setaria viridis) and common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris). Extracts from field- and greenhouse-grown rye significantly inhibited germination of redroot pigweed and green foxtail, yet had no effect on the navy bean cultivar Envoy. In a second study, rye, wheat and triticale provided similar inhibition of weed seed germination; however, effects on bean germination differed between cereals. Bean seed germination was significantly reduced (P < 0.05) by winter wheat and winter triticale, but unaffected by rye. Key words: Weed seed germination, bean, weed management, cover crops

A study was conducted over a 3-yr period (2004–2006) in Ontario to evaluate various weed management programs in white bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). Herbicide treatments evaluated caused no visible injury in white bean. Trifluralin provided 12% (percentage points) greater control of common lambsquarters (Chenopodium album L.) than s-metolachlor. There was no benefit of tank-mixing s-metolachlor and trifluralin for yield and profitability compared with either trifluralin or s-metolachlor alone. The postemergence (POST ) application of bentazon plus fomesafen following a soil-applied herbicide resulted in improved control of common lambsquarters by 15%. Two inter-row cultivations following a soil-applied herbicide resulted in improved control of redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus L.), common lambsquarters, and green foxtail [Setaria viridis (L.) Beauv.]. The addition of imazethapyr (60% of label dose; 45 g a.i. ha-1) to the soil-applied herbicide resulted in improved control of redroot pigweed (+6%), common lambsquarters (+16%), and green foxtail (+6%). The profit margin tended to increase if more than just a grass preplant-incorporated (PPI) herbicide was used. The best profit margin was with a grass PPI herbicide alone plus cultivation. The profit margin also tended to increase with the use of cultivation rather than a broadleaf POST herbicide.

Field studies were conducted from 1991 to 1994 to investigate the effectiveness of reduced rates of bentazon in tank-mixtures with imazethapyr, thifensulfuron, or HOE 075032 for improved control of redroot pigweed and common lambsquarters in navy bean. Tank-mixtures of bentazon at 600 g ai/ha plus imazethapyr at 25 g/ha or HOE 075032 at 5 to 15 g/ha controlled both redroot pigweed and common lambsquarters. These rates represent an approximate 45% reduction in total amount of active ingredient needed to control these weeds compared with full label rates. Bentazon tank-mixtures with 2 or 4 g/ha of thifensulfuron controlled these weeds but caused severe injury and delayed crop maturity. In greenhouse studies, the GR25for HOE 075032 in navy bean was > 90 g/ha, while in soybean it was 16 to 24 g/ha.

Seed of three weed species collected from the grain bins of combines while standing hard red winter wheat was harvested germinated better than hand-harvested seed. Combine-harvested curly dock seed germinated from 4 to 24% more than hand-harvested seed. Curly dock seed harvested with a commercial-type combine germinated better than those harvested with a small-plot combine. Harvesting slimleaf lambsquarters and Venice mallow seed with a commercial-type combine also enhanced germination compared to hand-harvested seed.

Stimulation Of

The effects of ethylene upon germination of common cocklebur (Xanthium pensylvanicumWallr.) and redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexusL.) seeds were studied. In laboratory tests with seeds in sealed flasks in the dark, 10 μl/L ethylene increased germination of redroot pigweed seeds from 7% to 52% at 30 C, and increased germination of large and small common cocklebur seeds from 30% and 0% to 100% and 90% respectively, at 25 C. At least 12 h of exposure to ethylene was necessary for appreciable stimulation of germination. In growth chamber studies with known numbers of seeds in pots of soil, ethylene at 11 kg/ha was injected into the soil, and the pots were enclosed in plastic bags for 24 h. One such injection at 2 weeks after planting, and successive injections at 2, 3, and 4 weeks, significantly increased redroot pigweed seedling emergence, and significantly decreased the numbers of dormant, viable seeds remaining in the soil. When pots were not enclosed, injections did not significantly effect redroot pigweed seeds, but significantly increased common cocklebur seedling emergence and decreased the number of viable common cocklebur seeds remaining in the soil.

The fate of 2,4-dichlorophenyl p-nitrophenyl ether (nitrofen) in the foliage of rape (Brassica campestris L. ‘Echo’), redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus L.), and green foxtail (Setaria viridis (L.) Beauv.) was investigated with the aid of 14C-nitrofen. Only limited amounts of the label were translocated in these species. Plants treated with 14C-nitrofen under high light conditions produced several labelled compounds of different molecular size and chromatographic properties. The time at which these compounds were first detectable depended on light intensity. At least two of these compounds are lipid-nitrofen conjugates or nitrofen polymers and others may be formed by cleavage of nitrofen at the ether linkage.

Yield Responses

Two studies were conducted in Kenya during 1993 and 1994 to determine the yield responses of kale (Brassica oleracea var. acephala D.C.) intercropped with beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) under different redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus L.) densities. Redroot pigweed significantly reduced both kale and bean yields, the reduction being greater in 1993 than in 1994, and being greater for beans than for kale. Redroot pigweed growth was suppressed more by beans than by kale. Food output per unit area, measured by Land Equivalent Ratios, was increased by 22–115% by intercropping kale with beans and the increase was greater under weedy conditions (38–115%) than under weed-free conditions (22–74%). The presence of beans did not affect the leaf yield of kale. The presence of kale did not affect the seed yield of beans in 1994, but consistently reduced it by about 50% in 1993, though the difference was not significant.

The influence of `Elbon', `Maton', and `Wheeler' winter rye (Secale cereale) with or without herbicide treatments on weed control in no-tillage (NT) zucchini squash (Cucurbita pepo) was determined. `Elbon' or `Maton' produced higher residue biomass, greater soil coverage, and higher weed control compared with `Wheeler'. Although winter rye alone did not provide sufficient weed control (generally <70%), it provided substantially greater redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus) and smooth crabgrass (Digitaria ischaemum) control (regardless of cultivar used) compared with no winter rye at both 28 and 56 days after transplanting (DAT). No effect (P > 0.05) of winter rye cultivar on early or total squash yield was detected. Although applying clomazone + ethalfluralin to winter rye residues improved redroot pigweed control compared with no herbicide, the level of control was generally not adequate (<85% control) by 56 DAT. Treatments that included halosulfuron provided greater control of redroot pigweed than clomazone + ethalfluralin, and redroot pigweed control from halosulfuron treatments was similar to the weed-free control. However, regardless of year or cover crop, any treatment with halosulfuron caused unacceptable injury to zucchini squash plants which lead to reduced squash yield (primarily early yields). Insignificant amounts of squash injury (<10% due to stunting) resulted from clomazone + ethalfluralin in no-tillage plots during either year. Treatments with clomazone + ethalfluralin had early and total yields that were similar to those of the weed-free control, although this herbicide combination provided less weed control compared with the weed-free control.

The selectivity of 2,4-dichlorophenylp-nitrophenyl ether (nitrofen) among rape (Brassica campestrisL., var. Echo) and two weed species, redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexusL.) and green foxtail (Setaria viridis(L.) Beauv.), was determined quantitatively by a replicated dosage-response experiment. On an ED50basis, green foxtail and redroot pigweed were, respectively, 5.8 and 63.3 times more susceptible than rape. Selectivity was divided into three parameters; viz., differential spray retention, differential penetration, and differential effects within the plant. Differences in retention were measured with the use of a water-soluble dye, while differences in penetration were determined with14C-labelled nitrofen. Spray retention on green foxtail was 66% of that on the rape and 64% as much nitrofen penetrated redroot pigweed as penetrated rape. Under the conditions of these tests it was estimated that green foxtail and redroot pigweed were, respectively, 9 and 99 times more susceptible to nitrofen than was rape.

Allelopathic Compounds

Allelopathy, the chemical interaction between plants, may result in the inhibition of plant growth and development, which can include compounds released from a crop that adversely impact weed species. The objective of this research was to determine the allelopathic impact of sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) field residue and root water extracts on seed germination of three weed species. Red morningglory (Ipomoea coccinea L.), redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus L.), and spiny amaranth (Amaranthus spinosus L.)] seeds were treated with five extract concentrations (0, 12.5, 25, 50, and 100 g/L) from either sugarcane field residue or sugarcane root extracts. The field residue and roots were from sugarcane variety ‘HoCP 96-540’ plant cane. Germination generally decreased with increasing sugarcane field residue extract concentrations in the three weed species tested. At the highest residue concentration (100 g/L), red morningglory, redroot pigweed, and spiny amaranth germination decreased by 29%, 17.5% and 80.5%, respectively. Germination generally decreased with increasing sugarcane root extract concentrations in red morningglory and redroot pigweed, but not with spiny amaranth. The highest root concentration (100 g/L) decreased red morningglory and redroot pigweed germination by 19.5% and 18.5%, respectively. This research provides the first bioassay demonstrating that sugarcane root extracts have allelopathic activity, and specifically in respect to red morningglory and redroot pigweed germination. Future research should investigate the allelopathic compounds present in the sugarcane field residue and roots, determine if the same allelopathic compounds are present and in similar concentrations among other sugarcane varieties, and further examine which weed species may be susceptible to the allelopathic compounds present in sugarcane roots.

Four modes of competition were studied in relation to early development of common milkweed (Asclepias syriacaL.) alone and in competition with green foxtail [Setaria viridis(L.) Beauv], redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexusL.), and sorghum [Sorghum bicolor(L.) Moench ‘RS-626’]. The three species were used to study the effect of no competition, light competition, soil competition, and light and soil (full) competition on common milkweed. Common milkweed height was significantly reduced by soil and full competition with the three species, while only green foxtail caused a significant reduction in height due to light competition. Shoot weight of common milkweed was significantly reduced by light, soil, and full competition by the three species. Reproduction percentage of common milkweed roots was most severely reduced by light and full competition from green foxtail and redroot pigweed. An environment conducive to the establishment of the perennial common milkweed from seed exists when annual weeds are removed by herbicides.
