Two herbicide experiments were carried out in 1980 to evaluate Alachor and Metribuzin alone or combined for weed control in sweet potato cultivar Miguela at the Isabela and Fortuna Substations, Metribuzin at 1.12 kg ai/ha rate controlled effectively both broadleaf weeds and grasses. A minimum rate of 6.73 kg ai/ha of Alachor was needed for acceptable weed control. Metribuzin at the 1.12 kg al/ha rate in combination with Alachor at the 3.36 kg ai/ha rate provided the best weed control. There was no visible herbicide injury to sweet potato plants at the Isabela Substation. Moderate crop injury as a consequence of Metribuzin application at 2.24 kg ai/ha was apparent at the Fortuna Substation. The highest tuber yield was obtained with Metribuzin at 1.12 kg ai/ha in combination with Alachor at 3.36 kg ai/ha at both Substations. Metribuzin at 1.12 kg ai/ha rate alone or in combination with any other herbicide also produced good tuber yield. Sweet potatoes with standard herbicide treatments, Diphenamid and Chloramben, yielded poorly because of weed competition.

Alachlor [2-chloro-2′,6′-diethyl-N-(methoxymethyl)acetanilide] at 3.4 and 6.7 kg/ha controlled weeds present in sweet potatoes (Ipomoea batatasL. ‘Jewel’, ‘Centennial’, ‘Caromex’) at two locations in North Carolina. Yield was not reduced from slight early season injury observed with the herbicide treatments. Most sweet potato root samples contained less than the detectable limit of 0.05 ppmw of alachlor. At one location, samples of the cultivars Jewel and Centennial that received 6.7 kg/ha contained 0.06 and 0.05 ppmw, respectively. Averaged over locations, residue levels in soil samples from plots treated at 6.7 kg/ha decreased from 1.55 ppmw initially to less than 0.05 ppmw by 16 weeks after application.

Abstract Biocontrol offers a promising alternative to synthetic fungicides for the control of a variety of pre- and post-harvest diseases of crops. Black rot, which is caused by the pathogenic fungus Ceratocytis fimbriata, is the most destructive post-harvest disease of sweet potato, but little is currently known about potential biocontrol agents for this fungus. Here, we isolated several microorganisms from the tuberous roots and shoots of field-grown sweet potato plants, and analyzed their ribosomal RNA gene sequences. The microorganisms belonging to the genus Pantoea made up a major portion of the microbes residing within the sweet potato plants, and fluorescence microscopy showed these microbes colonized the intercellular spaces of the vascular tissue in the sweet potato stems. Four P. dispersa strains strongly inhibited C. fimbriata mycelium growth and spore germination, and altered the morphology of the fungal hyphae. The detection of dead C. fimbriata cells using Evans blue staining suggested that these P. dispersa strains have fungicidal rather than fungistatic activity. Furthermore, P. dispersa strains significantly inhibited C. fimbriata growth on the leaves and tuberous roots of a susceptible sweet potato cultivar (“Yulmi”). These findings suggest that P. dispersa strains could inhibit black rot in sweet potato plants, highlighting their potential as biocontrol agents.

Field studies were conducted in 1992 and 1993 to evaluate imazapic alone and in postemergence (POST) mixtures with atrazine or bentazon for weed control in imidazolinone-resistant corn treated with carbofuran. Nicosulfuron and nicosulfuron plus atrazine also were evaluated. Imazapic at 36 and 72 g ai/ha controlled large crabgrass 85 and 92%, respectively, which was equivalent to control obtained with nicosulfuron plus atrazine. Imazapic at the higher rate controlled large crabgrass better than nicosulfuron alone. Imazapic at 36 and 72 g/ha controlled Texas panicum 88 and 99%, respectively, and at the higher rate control was equivalent to that obtained with nicosulfuron alone or in mixture with atrazine. Imazapic plus bentazon POST controlled Texas panicum less than imazapic at the lower rate applied alone. Redroot pigweed was controlled 100% with all herbicide treatments. Imazapic at either rate alone or in tank mixture with bentazon or atrazine controlled prickly sida >99%, which was superior to control obtained with nicosulfuron or nicosulfuron plus atrazine. Smallflower, entireleaf, ivyleaf, pitted, and tall morningglories were controlled 96% or greater with all herbicide treatments except nicosulfuron alone. Sicklepod control was >88% with all imazapic treatments, whereas control from nicosulfuron alone was 72%. Corn yields were improved by the addition of POST herbicides with no differences among POST herbicide treatments.

SUMMARYEffects of cutting lengths on tuber yields and vine production of Missus and Madam sweet potatoes, as influenced by two different fertilizer regimes, were studied on Njala upland soils of Sierra Leone. Cuttings 61 cm. long gave significantly the highest tuber yields for both early-maturing cultivars when fertilized with 336 kg. sulphate of ammonia, 112 kg. basic slag, 448 kg. sulphate of potash, 841 kg. lime and 340 kg. sulphate of magnesium per ha. in two split applications a month apart. Fertilized with 502 kg./ha. sulphate of ammonia per application for 4 applications, 61 cm. long cuttings again gave the highest vine production. The lower the vine/tuber ratio, the higher the tuber yield.

Lombok Island as an area that still has a high level of food insecurity is deemed necessary to develop tuber crops such as sweet potatoes, this is to support the diversity of existing food sources. This study aims to determine: 1) sweet potato germplasm cultivated on Lombok Island; and 2) the characteristics of sweet potato germplasm on Lombok Island. This research uses a descriptive method. Inventarization is carried out by the exploration method, and using cluster analysis which is then displayed in the form of a phenogram. The results showed: 1) obtained 17 accessions of sweet potato plants spread in 4 districts of Lombok Island; 2) the accessions found consisted of accessions of Sweet Potato KLU, Honey KLU, Purple 04 KLU, Orange Lobar, White Lobar, Purple 01 Lobar, Purple 02 Lobar, Purple 03 Lobar, Ornamental Attic, Attic Yellow, Attic White, Purple 01 Attic, Purple 02 Attic, Honey Lotim, Sokan Lotim, Purple 05 Lotim, and Purple 06 Lotim; 3) the cause of the differences in the characteristics of all observed accessions is genetic factors that are supported by different growing environmental conditions. In the accession of Sweet Potato Beduk KLU and Sokan Lotim are local varieties of sweet potato from Lombok Island, so it needs to be developed to maintain local superior sweet potato varieties from Lombok Island.

Rates of trifluralin (α,α,α-trifluoro-2,6-dinitro-N,N-dipropyl-p-toluidine) applied preplanting were combined with rates of diuron [3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea] applied postemergence in cotton (Gossypium hirsutumL. ‘Deltapine 16’). In another experiment, two levels of these herbicides were applied in three populations of cotton. All herbicide combinations improved weed control, compared to that of cultivated checks. Applications of 0.28, 0.42, and 0.56 kg/ha of trifluralin combined with 0.56 kg/ha of diuron controlled annual weeds and produced the highest cotton yields. Herbicide treatments had more influence than crop spacing on weed control and crop yield. Weed competition on cultivated checks affected boll weight, seed per boll, and fiber fineness.

Crotalaria Spectabilis

Six herbicides were evaluated at two rates on sweet potatoes [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam. ‘Georgia Red’, ‘Georgia Jet’] with and without cultivation from 1972 through 1976. Cultivation with a ground-driven rotary hoe about 2 weeks later improved the control of late-season broadleaf weeds such as Florida beggarweed [Desmodium tortuosum (Sw.) DC] and showy crotalaria (Crotalaria spectabilis Roth.). Cultivation improved weed control where vernolate (S-propyl dipropylthiocarbamate), DCPA (dimethyl tetrachloroterephthalate), and napropamide [2-(α-naphthoxy)-N,N-diethylpropionamide] were applied. The improved weed control in cultivated treatments resulted in increased sweet potato yields in 1972 and 1973, which also were the years with the highest weed populations.

Weed Removal

The effects of different periods of weed competition and of trifluralin (α,α,α-trifluro-2,6-dinitro-N,N-dipropyl-p-toluidine), niclofen (2,4-dichloro-phenyl-p-nitrophenyl ether), and cultivations were studied for effects on yield of rutabaga (Brassica napobrassica Mill. ’York’). Delaying weed removal for 4 wk after crop emergence significantly reduced yields of marketable and total roots compared with plots kept weed-free all season. Delayed weeding beyond 4 wk resulted in progressively greater reductions in yield. Rutabagas kept weed-free for 2, 4, 6, and 8 wk from crop emergence by once-weekly weeding gave yields comparable to those kept weed-free all season. Herbicide treatments without hand-weeding gave significantly lower yields than those with one hand-weeding. The use of three hand-weedings with herbicides was not significantly better than herbicides with one hand-weeding. Level of weed control was dependent on weed species present in the test area; however, a combination of trifluralin and niclofen gave a broader spectrum of control and better crop yields than either used alone.

Second Year

Paraquat applied from mid-February through early April over 2 yr was evaluated for sugarcane tolerance and Italian ryegrass control. Sugarcane 31 cm tall at application was injured 16 to 25% and 8 to 14% 28 and 56 d, respectively, after mid-March application of paraquat at 0.35 or 0.70 kg ai/ha. Early-April application to 61-cm-tall sugarcane caused 13 to 25% injury. The observed injury was not reflected in reduced sugarcane shoot population or height or sugarcane or sugar yield when compared with diuron, the standard herbicide treatment. Italian ryegrass control 28 d after the mid-February application of paraquat alone at 0.53 or 0.70 kg/ha was variable, ranging from 80% in 1994 to no more than 66% in 1995. For each year, diuron at 3.2 kg/ha in combination with both rates of paraquat increased Italian ryegrass control 28 d after the mid-February application 11 to 17 percentage points. At 56 d after the mid-February application, addition of diuron proved beneficial only in 1994 when the paraquat and diuron combinations controlled ryegrass 93% compared with no more than 62% for paraquat applied alone. In contrast, Italian ryegrass was controlled the second year no more than 80% 56 d after the mid-February application of paraquat alone or with diuron. Paraquat applied at 0.70 kg/ha with diuron in mid-March controlled Italian ryegrass 80 and 86% 28 d after treatment in 1994 and 1995, respectively. For the standard herbicides metribuzin, terbacil, and diuron applied in mid-March, weed control was no greater than 38%. Although differences in Italian ryegrass control among herbicide treatments were observed, efficacy was sufficient to reduce weed competition such that sugarcane growth and yield were not negatively affected.
