Tolerance of Montcalm and Redhawk kidney beans to bentazon, imazamox plus fomesafen and imazamox plus bentazon applied postemergence at the maximum label rate in soybeans and twice that rate were studied at two Ontario locations (Exeter and Ridgetown) in 2001 and 2002. There were no differences between the two cultivars in their response to the herbicides tested. At Exeter in 2001, bentazon reduced plant height by 10 and 12% and yield by 33 and 22% at the label and twice that rate, respectively. Yield was also reduced by 11% at Exeter in 2002 at twice the label rate. Imazamox plus fomesafen reduced plant height equally by 14% and yield was reduced by 22 and 30% at the label rate and twice the label rate, respectively, at Exeter in 2001. Imazamox plus bentazon in Exeter in 2001 reduced plant height equally by 8% and yield by 20 and 14% at the label rate and twice the label rate, respectively. There were no negative effects on plant height, dry weight and yield at the other site-yrs. This research suggests that bentazon, imazamox plus fomesafen and imazamox plus bentazon applied postemergence can cause severe crop injury and yield reduction in kidney bean production under certain environmental conditions. Key words: Bentazon, crop tolerance, fomesafen; imazamox, Montcalm, Phaseolus vulgaris, Redhawk.

Tolerance of Montcalm and Redhawk kidney beans to preplant incorporated (PPI) and preemergence (PRE) applications of S-metolachlor, imazethapyr and their tank mix at the maximum label rate in soybeans (1×) and twice that rate (2×) was studied at two Ontario locations (Exeter and Ridgetown) in 2001 and 2002. There were no differences between the two cultivars in their responses to the herbicide treatments. Visual evaluations of crop injury never exceeded 2% for any herbicide treatment. With the exception of a 7% height reduction after the PPI application of imazethapyr plus S-metholachlor at the 2× rate, none of the other treatments reduced plant height, dry weight, seed moisture content or seed yield. At sites where there was a significant difference, the PRE application caused more crop injury than the PPI application. These results indicate that there is an acceptable margin of crop safety for PPI and PRE applications of S-metolachlor and imazethapyr alone and in tank mix combination in kidney beans in Ontario. Key words: Crop injury; crop tolerance; imazethapyr; S-metolachlor; yield.

There have been anecdotal accounts of increased crop sensitivity due to herbicide drift followed by an in-crop herbicide. An experiment was conducted from 2005 to 2007 at Elora, Ridgetown, and Woodstock, Ontario, to determine the effects of simulated mesotrione drift followed by in-crop applications of glyphosate, imazethapyr, bentazon and glyphosate plus chlorimuron on glyphosate-resistant soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] visual injury, plant height, plant density, shoot dry weight, and seed yield. As the rate of simulated mesotrione drift increased, there was an increase in soybean injury and a decrease in shoot dry weight, height, and yield. Simulated mesotrione drift followed by bentazon resulted in synergistic responses in injury shortly after application in some environments. This increase in injury was transient, with no synergistic responses in density, shoot dry weight, and yield. In contrast, antagonistic responses were observed when glyphosate, imazethapyr, or glyphosate plus chlorimuron were applied after simulated mesotrione drift in some environments. Further research is required to develop a better understanding of the interactions of drift followed by the application of an in-crop herbicide. Key words: Bentazon, chlorimuron, glyphosate, imazethapyr, mesotrione, synergism

Methods to improve the grain yield of red kidney bean without the addition of commercially fixed nitrogen will have significant benefits to farmers in Jamaica and other tropical regions. Red kidney beans provide a major portion of the dietary protein for most families in these regions. Our experimental objective was to evaluate the nitrogen fixing capabilities of several breeding lines of Phaseolus vulgaris when inoculated with Rhizobium strains isolated from Jamaican soils. Surface sterilized seeds of 11 Phaseolus lines were inoculated with inoculum prepared from 5 day old Rhizobium YEM mixture. Rhizobium used were T2 and B17 from Jamaica and UMR 1889. The greenhouse study was arranged as a completely randomized design. Bean lines 9056-101, 9056-98B, 8954-5 and 8954-4 showed improved nodulation and N2 fixation when inoculated with UMR 1899. The combination of breeding line 8954-5 and Rhizobium strain B17 produced the highest nodule number and shoot dry weight of 193 and 0.72 g, respectively. The Rhizobium strain B17showed some ability to compete successfully for nodule sites against known effective strains.

The article analyzes the agro-ecological situation and problems of soil use in Lviv region. It is established that the conduct of agriculture is often not the landscape and environmental conditions of the area and agro-ecological conditions of cultivation of agricultural crops. In soils have become widespread degradation processes, such as water and wind erosion, acidification, dehumidification, the depletion of elements of the other power plants. The measures of rational use and protection of soils are proposed. Key words: Lviv region, soil, agro-ecological state of, degradation, soil protection.

Summary. Slow establishment has been identified as a major limitation to the more widespread adoption of the fodder tree Leucaena leucocephala in Queensland. Field experiments were conducted at Mt Cotton, Gayndah and Theodore in south-east Queensland during the 1987–88 summer to identify the major factors limiting first year yield of leucaena. Treatments at each site included irrigation (applied at sowing only, or at intervals throughout the trial), and rates of phosphorus (P), nitrogen (N) and lime. Attack by psyllid insects, weed competition and defoliation by wildlife were noted and minimised where possible. Soil moisture appeared to be the major limitation to plant growth at the inland sites of Theodore and Gayndah where post-establishment irrigation increased final dry weight by 250%. Waterlogging reduced plant height increase at the low lying Mt Cotton site following higher than normal rainfall. Increase in plant height at the other sites stopped when night temperatures fell below 15°C. Application of P at 75–1200 kg/ha tripled final dry weight of leucaena at Mt Cotton (5 mg/kg bicarbonate-extractable P) but had no effect at Theodore (10 mg P/kg) or Gayndah (35 mg P/kg). Larger than normal responses to P during early growth may be due to slow colonisation of the roots by arbuscular mycorrhiza. Application of N (200 kg N/ha) increased dry weight of Rhizobium-inoculated leucaena by 27% at Theodore but had little or no effect at the other sites. Application of lime had no significant effects on plant height or dry weight of leucaena at Mt Cotton despite the soil being slightly acidic (pH 5.9 in 1 : 5 H2 O suspension). Further work on the role of colonisation by arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi in determining uptake of P by leucaena is warranted in view of the large response to very high rates of P in young seedlings at Mt Cotton.

Ten essential mineral elements were determined in dry and in canned kidney beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). Samples were taken at different stages during the canning process to determine where changes in element content occurred. Canned kidney beans contained significantly lower concentrations of iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium, and zinc than dry kidney beans, on a dry weight basis. These decreases were probably caused by the elements being extracted out during soaking and blanching of the kidney beans and/or during the actual thermal processing where elements were extracted into the can liquid. There was a significant increase in calcium in the canned product and no significant difference in copper and phosphorus contents between the dry and canned products. Chloride and sodium content in canned kidney beans increased due to the sodium chloride content of the filling medium, and their concentrations varied depending on the concentration of the medium used. Retention of all elements, except chloride and sodium, ranged from 61 to 117% on a dry weight basis and from 19 to 36% on wet weight basis, retention being defined as the ratio of content in the canned to that in the dry product as received at the plant.

Confinement housing of pigs allows optimal thermal conditions to be maintained thus reducing the thermal demand placed on the pig. Alternatives tend to cost less to construct, use less energy to operate and possibly have higher welfare standards than conventional housing; however, the thermal demand on the pig could be greater. An experiment consisting of two trials was conducted to examine the effect of varying amounts of straw bedding on the performance and behaviour of growing pigs while exposed to cold conditions. Four straw bedding treatments were studied and referred to as Least (20 kg), Medium-low (80 kg), Medium-high (137 kg) and Most (196 kg) straw usage. Results from the analysis of the two trials indicated that pigs with the three greatest amounts of straw gained more weight than pigs with the Least straw (P < 0.05). Pigs with the Least straw huddled with a sternal posture and piled more than pigs in the other three treatments (P < 0.05). Pigs with the two highest amounts of straw adopted a lateral posture while huddling more than pigs with the two lowest amounts of straw (P < 0.05). Pigs with the Most straw were also lying alone with a lateral posture more than pigs with the two lowest amounts of straw, and burrowed more than pigs in the other three treatments (P < 0.05). This study provides information on the adaptability of growing pigs exposed to different environmental conditions. Straw bedding was shown to be an important resource used by pigs to aid in thermoregulation in cold environments. Behavioural responses were also shown to be an effective means of adaptation. Key words: Straw bedding, cold conditions, thermoregulation, pigs, behaviour, performance

There is little information on the tolerance of cranberry beans to preplant incorporated (PPI) and preemergence (PRE) applications of s-metolachlor and imazethapyr, eithe r alone or in tank mix combination, for selective weed control in cranberry beans in Ontario. Tolerance of two cranberry bean cultivars, Hooter and SVM Taylor, to PPI and PRE applications of s-metolachlor, imazethapyr and their tank mix combination at the label rate (1×) and twice the label rate (2× ) were studied at two Ontario locations (Exeter and Ridgetown) in 2001 and 2002. There were no differences between the two cultivars in their responses to the herbicide treatments. PPI and PRE applications of s-metolachlor alone at the 1× and 2× rate had no effect on visual crop injury and no negative effect on plant height, dry weight and yield compared to the control. The PPI and PRE applications of imazethapyr at the 1× rate did not result in significant visual crop injury, and had no negative effect on bean height and dry weight, but at the 2× rate there was significant visual crop injury, a decrease in height with the PPI application and decreased dry weight with PPI and PRE applications. No negative effect o n cranberry bean yield was observed with the application of imazethapyr at either the 1× or 2× rates. The PPI and PRE applications of the tank mix of s-metolachlor plus imazethapyr at the 1× rate did not result in significant visual crop injury or decreases in bean plant height or dry weight. At the 2× rate, there was significant visual crop injury, a decrease in bean plant height with PPI and PRE applications and decreased dry weight with the PPI application. The tank mix of s-metolachlor plus imazethapyr at the 1× rate had no effect on yield, but the PPI application at the 2× rate caused a decrease in yield at 1 of the 4 site-years. Key words:

Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentumMill. ‘Fireball’), white bean (Phaseolus vulgarisL. ‘Seaway’), and tobacco (Nicotiana tabacumL. ‘Delhi 34’ and ‘White Gold’) were pretreated with herbicides at one of three rates prior to fumigation with ozone at 0, 7.5, 15, or 30 pphm (parts per hundred million) for two 1.5-hr period. The plants were harvested 5 to 7 days after ozone fumigation, dried, and weighed. The natural logarithms of the dry weight data were subjected to multiple regression analysis to test for synergistic or antagonistic interactions between ozone and the various herbicides. Synergistic phytotoxicity was definitely observed for pebulate (S-propyl butylethylthiocarbamate) and possibly for chloramben (3-amino-2,5-dichlorobenzoic acid) in combination with ozone on tobacco ‘White Gold’ and ‘Delhi 34’, respectively. For most of the other combinations (chloramben, trifluralin α,α,α-trifluoro-2,6-dinitro-N,N-dipropyl-p-toluidine) or monolinuron (3-(p-chlorophenyl)-1-methoxy-1-methylurea) on white bean, diphenamid (N,N-dimethyl-2,2-diphenylacetamide) or trifluralin on tomato, chloramben on tobacco ‘White Gold’, and pebulate on tobacco ‘Delhi 34’) the phytotoxicity in the presence of ozone was additive and no interaction was indicated. An antagonistic interaction between ozone and benefin (N-butyl-N-ethyl-α,α,α-trifluoro-2,6-dinitro-p-toluidine) was indicated on the two cultivars of tobacco.

There is little information on tolerance of glyphosate-resistant maize to glyphosate plus MCPA amine as influenced by dose and timing under Ontario environmental conditions. A total of seven field trials were conducted at various locations in Ontario, Canada, in 2011–2013 to evaluate tolerance of field maize to tank mixes of glyphosate (900 g a.e./ha) plus MCPA amine (79, 158, 315, 630, 1260, 2520, or 5040 g a.e./ha) at either the 4- or 8-leaf stage. The predicted dose of MCPA amine that caused 5, 10, and 20% injury was 339, 751, and 1914 g a.e./ha when applied to 4-leaf maize but only 64, 140, and 344 g a.e./ha when applied to 8-leaf maize, respectively. The predicted dose of MCPA amine that caused 5, 10, and 20% reduction in shoot dry weight of maize was 488, 844, and 1971 g a.e./ha when applied to 4-leaf maize and only 14, 136, and 616 g a.e./ha when applied to 8-leaf maize, respectively. The predicted dose of MCPA amine that caused 5, 10, and 20% yield reduction was 2557, 4247, and >5040 g a.e./ha when applied to 4-leaf maize and 184, 441, and 1245 g a.e./ha when applied to 8-leaf maize, respectively. Based on these results, glyphosate plus MCPA amine applied at the manufacturer’s recommended dose of 630 g a.e./ha applied to 4-leaf maize has potential to cause injury but the injury is transient with no significant reduction in yield. However, when glyphosate plus MCPA amine is applied to 8-leaf maize it has the potential to cause significant injury and yield loss in maize.
