Seed Composition of 66 Weed and Crop SpeciesWeed Science - Tập 22 Số 4 - Trang 345-348 - 1974
Mark A. Schroeder, József Deli, E D Schall, G. F. Warren
The percentage composition of fat, protein, nitrogen-free extract (NFE), fiber, and ash was determined for 50 weed and crop species. Data on 16 additional species were compiled from the literature. Generally, within a family there was a tendency toward a certain type of storage material. Seeds of the Polygonaceae and Gramineae were low in fat, high in NFE and, with few exceptions, low in p...... hiện toàn bộ
Factors Influencing the Phytotoxicity and Movement of Paraquat in QuackgrassWeed Science - Tập 16 Số 1 - Trang 80-83 - 1968
A. R. Putnam, S. K. Ries
Quackgrass (Agropyron repens (L.) Beauv.) was defoliated for 25 to 30 days with applications of 1.0 lb/A of l,l′-dimethyl-4–4′-bipyridinium salt (paraquat). Applications were more effective made prior to darkness than at midday. Phytotoxicity was increased by adding surfactants in the field, and experiments utilizing 14C-paraquat under contro...... hiện toàn bộ
Use of Empirical Equations to Describe Dissipation of Metribuzin and PendimethalinWeed Science - Tập 42 Số 2 - Trang 241-248 - 1994
Robert L. Zimdahl, Brian K. Cranmer, Walter W. Stroup
Four equations were evaluated as predictors of the rate of herbicide dissipation in soil. A biexponential equation was superior to the first-order equation for metribuzin and pendimethalin dissipation under five moisture levels and three temperatures in laboratory and field studies. The Hoerl function, adapted in the course of this work, is also a good descriptor. The first-order equation ...... hiện toàn bộ
Arsenical Herbicides for Removing Broomsedge from Forage GrassesWeed Science - Tập 23 Số 3 - Trang 222-223 - 1975
S. A. Lowance, E. J. Peters, Richard E. Mattas
MSMA (monosodium methanearsonate) and DSMA (disodium methanearsonate) killed 27 to 90% of the broomsedge (Andropogon virginicusL.) plants when applied at 1.1 to 6.7 kg/ha in July. These rates did not reduce yields of smooth bromegrass (Bromus inermisLeyss.) or affect the density of Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis
Competitive and Allelopathic Effects of Sunflower (Helianthus annuus)Weed Science - Tập 30 Số 4 - Trang 372-377 - 1982
S. M. Irons, O. C. Burnside
In the field, soybeans [Glycine max(L.) Merr. ‘Amsoy 71′] required 4 to 6 weeks free of sunflower (Helianthus annuusL.) competition for maximum yield. Competition studies suggested that more than one type of interference was involved when sunflowers grew with soybeans. In greenhouse studies, soybean height, fresh weight, and dry weight ...... hiện toàn bộ
Biochemical Basis for Plant CompetitionWeed Science - Tập 17 Số 3 - Trang 338-344 - 1969
Clanton C. Black, T.M. Chen, R. H. Brown
A survey has been made of the literature on biochemical characteristics of plants with particular emphasis on factors affecting photosynthesis. From these characteristics, plants have been divided into two groups, efficient and non-efficient. This division is justified on the basis of data published by numerous workers. A hypothesis has been developed that efficient plants often have been ...... hiện toàn bộ
Mechanisms of Herbicide Absorption Across Plant Membranes and Accumulation in Plant CellsWeed Science - Tập 42 Số 2 - Trang 263-276 - 1994
Tracy M. Sterling
In most cases, a herbicide must traverse the cell wall, the plasma membrane, and organellar membranes of a plant cell to reach its site of action where accumulation causes phytotoxicity. The physicochemical characteristics of the herbicide molecule including lipophilicity and acidity, the plant cell membranes, and the electrochemical potential in the plant cell control herbicide absorption...... hiện toàn bộ
