Notizen: In field experiments methabenzthiazuron at 1.1 kg ai/ha applied pre-emergence gave good control of Poa trivialis L. in perennial ryegrass S23 which was undersown in spring barley (Zephyr); no significant damage to barley or perennial ryegrass resulted from 2.2 kg ai/ha. However this dose applied when barley had three to four leaves decreased the subsequent barley yield.In pot experiments in the glasshouse methabenzthiazuron was active mainly due to uptake through the soil. Much greater damage to barley and perennial ryegrass resulted when herbicide-treated soil was placed below seed level than above the seed. The difference was less marked with P. trivialis. The latter started to develop secondary roots near the soil surface earlier than either perennial ryegrass or spring barley.

Notizen: A series of experiments using N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine (glyphosate) for controlling Agropyron repens (L.) Beauv. is described. Glyphosate, applied to undisturbed stubble in 1971 and 1972 controlled A. repens well. Rotary cultivation 5 weeks (1971) or 8 weeks (1972) prior to treatment, or 8 days after treatment (1972) did not affect the subsequent control. In two out of three experiments control of this weed resulted in significant increases in barley yield. This increase especially in one experiment was partly due to the inability to produce a good seedbed on the untreated control plots because of the vegetation. On the site where no increase in yield was measured, the population of A. repens was much less. Lutte contre l'Agropyron repens (L.) Beauv. dans les chaumes, avec le glyphosateUne série d'essais utilisant la N-(phosphonométhyl) glycine (glyphosate) pour lutter contre l'Agropyron repens (L) Beauv. sont décrits. Le glyphosate appliqué sur des chaumes non retournés en 1971 et 1972 a fait preuve d'une bonne efficacité contre A. repens. Une façon culturale rotative exécutée 5 semaines (1971) ou 8 semaines (1972) avant le traitement, ou 8 jours après le traitement (1972) n'a pas affecté Fefficacité ultérieure. Dans deux des essais sur trois, l'efficacité contre cette mauvaise herbe s'est traduite par une augmentation significative du rendement de l'orge. Cette augmentation, en particulier dans un essai, a été provoquée en partie par l'impossibilité d'obtenir un bon lit de semence dans les parcelles non traitées, en raison de la végétation. Dans les emplacements où il n'a pas élé constaté d'accroissement de rendement, la population d'A. repensétait beaucoup plus faible. Die Bekämpfung von Agropyron repens (i.) Beauv. auf der Stoppel mit GlyphosateEs wird eine Reihe von Versuchen beschrieben, in denen N-(Phosphonomethyl)glycin (Glyphosate) zur Bekämpfung von Agropyron repens (L) Beauv. eingesetzt wurde. Die Anwendung von Glyphosate in unbearbeiteter Stoppel in den Jahren 1971 und 1972, führte zu einer guten Bekämpfung von A. repens. Fräsen 5 Wochen (1971) bzw. 8 Wochen (1972) vor der Behandlung, oder 8 Tage nach der Behandlung (1972), beeinträchtigte den Bekämpfungserfolg nicht. In zwei von drei Versuchen bewirkte die Queckenbekämpfung einen gesicherten Mehrertrag bei Gerste. Besonders in einem Versuch war dieser Mehrertrag auf die starke Verqueckung in Unbehandelt zurückzuführen, wo eine optimale Bereitung des Saatbetts nicht möglich war. Dort, wo kein Ertragszuwachs festgestellet werden konnte, war die Verseu-chung mit A. repens viel schwächer.

Notizen: Summary. In field experiments extending over the period 1964–68 wettable powder and water soluble formulations of asulam and M & B 8882 were applied to a range of grass species in summer and autumn. Phleum pratense L., Dactylis glomerata L., Holcus lanatus L., Agrostis tenuis Sibth. and Poa trivialis L. were more susceptible than Lolium perenne L., Festuca pratensis Huds. and Festuca rubra L., although effects were more persistent on H. lanatus than on the other species. Trifolium repens L. (white clover) was more resistant to M & B 8882 than to asulam, particularly in July. The pattern of selectivity was similar with summer and autumn treatment, but effects were slower to develop in the autumn.Sélectivité des herbicides a base de carbamate de benzène sulfonyle entre différentes espèces de graminées et le trèfle

Notizen: A total of 74 independently run bioassays with soil incorporated metsulfuron-methyl from 12 different laboratories was analysed by a logistic dose-response curve to assess the precision of regression parameters and relate ED50 to soil properties. The potency in terms of ED50 of metsulfuron-methyl in Brassica rapa L., which was used by all laboratories, varied between 0.05 and 3.9 g a.i. ha-1. ED50 was negatively correlated with pH and positively correlated with organic matter. The majority of laboratories had ED50 within the interval 0.1-1.0 g a.i. ha-1. At one laboratory using three test species, the most sensitive species was Beta vulgaris L. followed by Brassica rapa L. and Lepidium sativum L. The coefficients of variation were smallest for the ED50 and ED90 response levels and largest for the ED10. The slope of the response curves had considerably lower coefficients of variation than the EDs. The results are discussed in relation to a previous collaborative bioassay study. Finally it is suggested that standardization of bioassays with herbicides could be achieved in the same way as standardization of chemical analyses.

Notizen: This study examined the effects of competition on the growth of Avena fatua, winter wheat and winter barley. Plants were sampled at frequent intervals from replacement series experiments at two contrasting sites in the U.K. A. fatua was much slower to establish than the two cereals, but thereafter exhibited a faster rate of growth. In monoculture, it took a considerable time for A. fatua to reach a size equal to that of the cereals, but by the end of the experiments it was the largest of the three species. The change-over from cereal dominance in mixtures to A. fatua tiominance was rapid, and in three cases coincided with cereal flag leaf emergence. In the fourth case, it appeared to coincide with the art of canopy height extension. At one site the rder of competitiveness at anthesis was A. fatua= barley〉wheat, and at the other site the order was A. fatua〉wheat〉barley. In order to explain and predict differences between years and sites, more studies are required on morphological development in relation to abiotic variables.

Notizen: N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine (glyphosate) at 0·5-1·0 kg a.i./ha controlled Agropyron repens grown in specially established 1-m2 field plots in three out of four experiments. The addition of butyl acid phosphate or ammonium sulphate to the spray liquid improved the level of control given by glyphosate alone, where there was scope for such improvement: the addition of ammonium nitrate had no effect. When ammonium sulphate was added to either dalapon or asulam there was also no increased control of A. repens. However, when added to activated aminotriazole at 2·0 kg a.i./ha, ammonium sulphate significantly increased the level of control of A. repens in one experiment. Addition de sets d'ammonium ou d'un ester phosphorique à des herbicides en vue de la destruction de l'Agropyron repens (L) Beauv. La N- (phosphonométhyl) glycine (glyphosate) à al dose de 0.5–1.0 kg m.a./ha a été efficace contre l'Agropyron repens poussant au champ dans des parcelles spécialement établies de 1-m2 dans trois essais sur quatre. L'addition de phosphate acide de butyle ou de sulfate d'ammonium au liquide pulvérisé a augments le niveau d'efflcacité obtenu avec le glyphosate seul, là oú il y avait possibilité de réaliser cette amélioration; l'addition de nitrate d'ammonium fut sans effet. Lorsque le sufate d'ammonium fut ajouté soit au dalapon, soit à l'asulame, il n'y eut pas non plus augmentation de l'efficacité contre A. repens. Toutefois, lorsque fut ajouté de l'aminotriazole activéà raison de 2 kg m.a./ha, le sulfate d'ammonium dans un essai accrut significativement le niveau d'efficacité contre A. repens. Der Zusatz von Ammoniumsalzen oder eines Phosphatesters zu Herbiziden zur Bekämpfung von Agropyron repens (L) Beauv.In drei von vier Versuchen wurde Agropyron repens in 1 m2 grossen Feldparzellen durch 0.5–1.0 kg A.S./ha von N-(Phosphonomethyl)glycin (Glyphosate) bekämpft. Die Zugabe von Phosphorsäure-dibutylester oder von Ammoniumsulfat zur Spritzbrühe erhöhte die Wirkung, verglichen mit Glyphosate alleine. Der Zusatz von Ammoniumnitrat brachte keine Verbesserung. Auch wenn Ammoniumsulfat zu Dalapon oder zu Asulam zugesetzt wurde, wurde die Bekämpfung von A. repens nicht verbessert. Wenn aber zu ‘aktiviertem’ Aminotrizol (Aminotriazol+Ammonium-rhodanid) bei 2,0 kg A.S./ha Ammoniumsulfat zugegeben wurde, wurde in einem Versuch die Bekämpfung von A. repens deutlich verbessert.

Notizen: Summary The effect of weather factors before and after spraying on the activity of the herbicides isoproturon and clodinafop-propargyl was assessed in field experiments from 1997 to 2000. The herbicides were sprayed at four rates on eight to 15 occasions between October and April and efficacy was assessed as ED50 for the surviving panicles of Alopecurus myosuroides Huds. The ED50 values (N = normal dose) varied between 0.18 N and 1.16 N for isoproturon and 0.11 N and 1.51 N for clodinafop-propargyl. The effect of weather factors was investigated using multiple regression techniques for 1 to 14 days before and after spraying. These regressions were significant (P 〈 0.001) for each of the individual years. Between 86% and 97% of the total variation in response to both herbicides was accounted for, but the factors were not consistent from year to year. However, when the 3 years were combined for each herbicide the regression was also significant (P 〈 0.001) for isoproturon (78% variation accounted for) and for clodinafop-propargyl (72% variation accounted for). The current blanket advice, that the best control results from applications to small plants, was not always correct.

Notizen: Chlortoluron, isoproturon and metoxuron applied to wheat (Triticum aesitvum (L.)), A vena fatua (L.) and Alopecurus myosuroïdes (Huds) at sowing caused less damage if the herbicides were restricted to the region above the seed by an activated charcoal layer. AH three herbicides, when applied to seedlings of the same species also had their main activity through the soil, an activated charcoal layer at seed level decreasing damage from post-emergence sprays of isoproluron. Germination and/or establishment of A. myosuroïdes was better from seeds sown at or near the surface, hut the reverse was true for A. fatua, which showed weak germination and/or establishment from seed on the soil surface. Rechterches sur les sites d'absorption du chhrtoluron, de l'isoproturon et du métoxuron par le blé. A vena fatua et Alopecurus myosuroïdesLe chlortoluron, l'isoproturon et le métoxuron appliqués au semis sur du blé (Triticum avstivum (L.), Avena fatua (L.) et Alopecurus myosuroïdes (Huds.) ont causé moinsde dommages si les herbicides restaient localises dans la region située audessus des semences grâce à une couche de charbon activé. Les trois herbicides, lorsqu'ils furent appliqués aux plantules des mêmes cspèces, ont aussi exercé leur principale activitéà travers le sol; une couche de charbon active au nivcau des semences a dim inué les dommages provoques pour des traitements effectues avee de l'isoproturon en posttevée.La germination atnsi que l'etablissement d'A. myosuroïdes ont été meilleurs à partir de sentences semées en surface, ou prés de la surface mais ce fut l'inverse pour A. fatua qui montra une germination et un etablissement plus faibles lorsque le semis a été fait en surface. Untersuchungen zum Ort der Aufnahme von Chlortoluron. Isoproturon und Metoxuron bei Weizen, A vena falua und A lopecurus myosuroidesWenn Chlortoluron, Isoproturon und Metoxuron zu Weizen (Triticum aestivum (L.)), Arena fatua (L.) und Alopecurus myosuroïdes (Huds.) zum Zeitpunkt der Saat appliziert wurden, traten weniger Schäden auf. wenn die Herbizide durch eine Aktivkohlcschicht oberhalb der Samen verblieben. Auch wenn die Herbizide auf junge Pflänzchen appliziert wurden, wirkten sie hauptsachlich über den Boden Durch eine Aktivkohleschicht in der Samenzone wurde die Wirkung von Nachauflaufbehandlungen mil Isoproluron abgeschwächl. Bei A myosuroïdes war die Keimung und/oder das Wachstum besser, wenn sich die Samen auf oder nur knapp unterhalb der Bodenoberfläche befanden. Bei A. fatua was es urngekchrt, hier war die Keimung und/oder die Entwicklung nur schwach. wenn sich die Samen auf dem Boden befanden.

Notizen: In glasshouse experiments 1,8-naphthalic anhydride (NA) and N,N-diallyl-2,2-dichloroacctamide (R 25788) were investigated in combination with perfluidone for the control of Rottboellia exaltata Linn. F. in maize. Both protectants were used as seed dressings and R 25788 also as a spray mixture with the herbicide.Surface application of the herbicide generally resulted in greater crop damage than incorporation. The protectants caused no damage than used alone. Both compounds greatly reduced crop damage from perfluidone treatments. In most experiments protection with NA was better and more reliable than with R 25788. Even when kept until flowering no adverse effect at later stages of growth were noted.Good control of R. exaltata was achieved in all trials where perfluidone was applied to the soil surface. Incorporation reduced activity. Mixtures of R 25788 with the herbicide did not significantly protect the weed.Field treatments to improve the tolerance of maize to perfluidone while controlling a wide range of weeds arc suggested.

Notizen: Seeds of four winter wheat cultivars, Slejpner, Galahad, Avalon and Penman, were sown at depths ranging from 6–75 mm in soil in pots, and isoproturon or chlorotoluron was then applied to the soil surface. For chlorotoluron-treated plants (both pre- and post-emergence) the dose required to produce a 50% effect (ED50) was unaffected by depth of planting. In contrast, for isoproturon applied pre-emergence, the ED50 for both Avalon and Slejpner was strongly affected by sowing depth. Although chlorotoluron was much more active in a second experiment when applied post-emergence to Slejpner wheat, the ED50 for both herbicides increased with greater depth of sowing. Protection of wheat from isoproturon damage by deeper planting was enhanced if the adsorption capacity of the soil was raised from Kd 0.5 to 2.0 by incorporation of activated charcoal in the soil. Isoproturon entry into plants (as measured by the effect on rate of photosynthesis) was slower in those that had been sown deeper and were growing in more adsorptive soils, but there was no obvious relationship between these observations and isoproturon distribution in the soil profile. In nutrient culture the four wheat cultivars responded similarly to a range of doses of isoproturon. The chlorotoluron-sensitive cultivars, Slejpner and Galahad, were damaged by much lower doses of chlorotoluron than were Avalon and Penman. Bromus sterilis L. responded similarly to wheat with regard to its interaction with isoproturon and planting depth. Alopecurus myosuroides Huds., however, was less damaged by isoproturon when the zone above the seed was protected from the herbicide by growing the shoot through a plastic straw.
