Language: English Descriptors: Secale cereale; Plant composition; Allelochemicals; Acinetobacter calcoaceticus; Allelopathy; Microbial activities Abstract: Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, a gram-negative bacterium isolated from field soil, was found to be responsible for the biotransformation of 2(3H)-benzoxazolinone (BOA) to 2,2'-oxo-1,1'-azobenzene (AZOB). Experiments were conducted to evaluate the transformation of BOA to AZOB by this microbe in sterile and nonsterile soil. Transformation studies with soils inoculated with A. calcoaceticus indicated that the production of AZOB increased linearly with the concentration of BOA in sterile soil and showed a quadratic trend in nonsterile soils. This also indicated that all soil types studied for the transformation experiments might contain A. calcoaceticus capable of the conversion of benzoxazolinones. 3 NAL Call.

New York, N.Y. : Plenum Publishing Corporation; 1992 Dec. Journal of chemical ecology v. 18 (12): p. 2191-2221; 1992 Dec. Includes references.

Here we describe: (1) a way to estimate levels of allelopathic compounds in soil; (2) how pH, solute potential, and/or ion content of extracts may modify the action of allelopathic compounds on germination and radicle and hypocotyl length of crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum L.) and ivy-leaved morning glory (Ipomoea hederacea L. Jacquin.), and 3) how biological activity of soil extracts may be determined. A water-autoclave extraction procedure was chosen over the immediate-water and 5-hr EDTA extraction procedures, because the autoclave procedure was effective in extracting solution and reversibly bound ferulic acid as well as phenolic acids from wheat debris. The resulting soil extracts were used directly in germination bioassays. A mixture of phenolic acids similar to that obtained from wheat-no-till soils did not affect germination of clover or morning glory and radicle and hypocotyl length of morning glory. The mixture did, however, reduce radicle and hypocotyl length of clover. Individual phenolic acids also did not inhibit germination, but did reduce radicle and hypocotyl length of both species. 6-MBOA (6-methoxy-2,3-benzoxazolinone), a conversion product of 2-o- glucosyl-7-methoxy-1,4-benzoxacin-3-one, a hydroxamic acid in living wheat plants, inhibited germination and radicle and hypocotyl length of clover and morning glory. 6-MBOA, however, was not detected in wheat debris, stubble, or soil extracts. Total phenolic acids (FC) in extracts were determined with Folin and Ciocalteu's phenol reagent. Levels of FC in wheat- conventional-till soil extracts were not related to germination or radicle and hypocotyl length either species. Levels of FC in wheat-no-till soil extracts were also not related to germination of clover or morning glory, but were inversely related to radicle and hypocotyl length of clover and morning glory. FC values, solute potential, and acidity of wheat-no-till soil extracts appeared to be independent (additive) in action on clover radicle and hypocotyl length. Radicle and hypocotyl length of clover was inversely related to increasing FC and solute potential and directly related to decreasing acidity. Biological activity of extracts was determined best from slopes of radicle and hypocotyl length obtained from bioassays of extract dilutions, Thus, data derived from the water-autoclave extraction procedure, FC analysis, and slope analysis for extract activity in conjunction with data on extract pH and solute potential can be used to estimate allelopathic activity of wheat-no-till soils 6 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Florida; Prairies; Brush control; Vegetation management; Prescribed burning; Cultural weed control; Winter; Summer; Birds; Communities; Community ecology; Seasonal abundance Abstract: Effects of prescribed fire and roller chopping applied in 2 seasons on woody vegetation and the associated avian community of a southwestern Florida former dry prairie were studied. There were 5 vegetation treatments with 2 replications of each; treatments were control, winter burn, winter chop, summer burn, and summer chop. Percent shrub cover was sampled with line intercept transects. Birds were censused 25 times using the variable circular plot method. Burning in either season reduced shrub cover temporarily; chopping in either season reduced shrub cover significantly and it remained reduced throughout the 15 months of this study. Bird species richness and abundance were similar in control and burn plots. Birds were not seen in summer chop plots up to 5 months posttreatment. Bird species richness and abundance remained low in both winter and summer chop plots. Bird species that were observed in chop plots were mostly open country, grassland inhabitants, indicating a trend toward prairie restoration. 16 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Minnesota; Cabt; Glycine max; Weed control; Chemical control; Xanthium strumarium; Bentazone; Application rates; Broadcasting; Band placement; Cultural weed control; Integrated control; Interrow cultivation; Crop yield; Precipitation; Environmental factors Abstract: Common cocklebur is a very competitive and difficult to control weed species in soybean production. Field research was conducted at Rosemount, MN, from 1989 to 1991 to evaluate reduced rates of bentazon applied broadcast or banded over the crop row in combination with interrow cultivation for common cocklebur control in soybean. Bentazon at 0.6 kg ai ha-1 applied in a 38-cm-wide band over the soybean row followed by two cultivations controlled almost 90% of the common cocklebur when environmental conditions were favorable, and the majority of the common cocklebur emerged prior to bentazon application. However, when precipitation was below normal prior to bentazon application and a high proportion of the common cocklebur emerged after the initial bentazon application, sequential bentazon treatments controlled more common cocklebur and resulted in greater soybean yields than combinations of bentazon plus cultivation. Differences in soybean yield were attributed to differences in common cocklebur control rather than injury from cultivation or bentazon. 27 NAL Call.

Weed densities (primarily prickly sida, morningglories, and hemp sesbania) varied widely among years and were directly related to early season rainfall. Postdirected herbicide application or cultivation(s) had little effect on weed density. The use of a banded fluometuron application reduced weed biomass 28 to 47%. A further decrease was observed when preemergence fluometuron was increased from banded to broadcast coverage. Seed cotton yields were low with no preemergence fluometuron. Banded fluometuron and at least one cultivation had yields similar to broadcast fluometuron only. Cotton yields were related to weed density and weed biomass in a hyperbolic relationship. Low weed densities caused more yield loss per unit weed density than higher densities. 41 NAL Call. No.: SB610.W39 Cover crop management and weed control in corn (Zea mays).

Benth.] is a parasitic angiosperm that infects tropical cereals causing severe yield losses. This study was conducted to determine if Striga damage in maize (Zea mays L.) can be mediated by the amount, form, and timing of N availability; and if the efficacy of N is contingent upon its regulation of assimilate partitioning. Two experiments were conducted in Kibos, western Kenya, in 1989 and 1990 on fields that had uniform Striga infestation. One experiment evaluated N rates of 0, 30, 60, and 90 kg N ha(-1) supplied as either urea, calcium ammonium nitrate, ammonium sulfate, or ammonium sulfate plus the nitrification inhibitor dicyandiamide, while a second experiment evaluated similar N rates applied at 14, 21, 28, and 35 d after planting. Although Striga infection generally declined with increasing N availability, the impact was partially dependent on the severity of infestation as all N rates decreased infection in 1990, while only 90 kg N ha(-1) reduced infection in 1989. Under high parasite densities in 1989, only urea reduced Striga (26%), while in 1990, infection was significantly decreased (an average of 30%) by all sources of N. In both years, N application at 28 d after planting resulted in the least Striga infection. Although assimilate partitioning during vegetative growth was unresponsive to N treatments, N availability during reproductive growth altered dry matter partitioning in favor of the ear over the vegetation. Averaged across N rates, this alteration resulted in increases in grain yield (64%) and harvest index (27%), and a decrease in source-sink partitioning (41%) and in the concentration of nonstructural carbohydrates in the stalk (16%). Based on these data, N fertility can mediate the impact of Striga infestation on maize by altering assimilate partitioning in favor of the ear. 45 NAL Call.

A weed species shift can result in the emergence of weeds tolerant of existing weed management practices. An understanding of crop production effects on weed species shifts can lead to development of improved weed management strategies. Research evaluated the effects of primary tillage (moldboard and chisel plowing), row cultivation, and herbicide input level on weed species changes over a 5-yr period in three irrigated cropping sequences. The cropping sequences consisted of continuous corn (Zea mays L.) for 5 yr (CN), pinto bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) for 3 yr followed by corn for 2 yr (PB), and sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) for 2 yr followed by corn for 3 yr (SB). Over the course of the 5-yr study, total weed density increased from 1 to 245 weeds PB, from 100 to 209 in SB, and from 2 to 190 in CN cropping sequences in chisel-plowed treatments, while weed density increases in moldboard-plowed treatments were negligible. General observation of each cropping sequence indicated that during the final year, green foxtail [Setaria viridus (L.) P. Beauv.] was most prevalent in the CN sequence, redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus L.) and hairy nightshade (Solanum sarruchoides Sendtner) in the PB sequence, and redroot pigweed and green foxtail in the SB sequence. However, weed species differences due to cropping sequences were evident only in treatments receiving chisel plow primary tillage. Further, the increase in redroot pigweed density due to cropping sequence and chisel plowing was diminished by high herbicide input levels. Row cultivation also had an influence on the weed species composition when compared to uncultivated plots. 48 NAL Call. No.: 79.9 C122 Cultivation for weed control. Leap, L.E.

Language: English Descriptors: Oklahoma; Festuca arundinacea; Lawns and turf; Cultural weed control; Cynodon dactylon; Cutting height; Sowing rates; Nitrogen fertilizers; Application rates Abstract: Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) is becoming increasingly popular for turf in areas where bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon L. (Pers.)] has traditionally been grown. Volunteer bermudagrass can be a serious weed problem in tall fescue lawns, and presently there are no reliable herbicides to eradicate bermudagrass without injury to the fescue. The purpose of this study was to examine multiple cultural factors to see if a combination of treatments might be used to prevent bermudagrass invasion into fescue turf. Cutting height (19 and 57 mm), fescue cultivar ('Kentucky-31' and 'Mustang'), fescue seeding rate [2100, 12 900, and 34 400 pure-live seeds (PLS) m-2], fertilization rate (49 and 244 kg N ha-1 yr-1), and source of bermudagrass introduction [seed, rhizomes, or stolons (clippings)] were examined in this 2-yr field study performed on Kirkland silt loam soil (fine, mixed, thermic, Udertic Paleustolls) in central Oklahoma. No bermudagrass invaded plots that were seeded to the two higher fescue seeding rates and mowed at the higher cutting height. The greatest number of bermudagrass originations (6 crowns m-2) and amount of stolon coverage (42%) occurred in plots of Mustang seeded to the lowest seeding rate, mowed at the lower cutting height, and fertilized at the heavier rate, with seed as the source of bermudagrass introduction. In conclusion, if tall fescue is managed like bermudagrass turf (closer mowing, higher fertilization), then the stand may eventually give way to invading bermudagrass. 50 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Kalmia angustifolia; Weed control; Cutting; Burning; Mulching; Mechanical methods; Regrowth Abstract: A greenhouse experiment was conducted to study the effect of cutting, cutting plus burning, and mulching treatments on Kalmia regrowth. Kalmia plants were transplanted into plastic buckets, and the treatments were applied in the greenhouse. After 8 months, the plants receiving cutting and cutting plus burning treatments showed no significant difference in the number and length of new sprouts compared with the control. However, the sprouts that developed after the cutting and cutting plus burning treatments were robust, with significantly higher dry weights compared with the control. Although there was no significant difference in the number of rhizomes between these treatments, rhizome lengths and dry weights were significantly smaller than those of the control. Mulching treatments dramatically reduced Kalmia regrowth in terms of both aboveground and belowground components. A field trial is recommended for Kalmia control in central Newfoundland using mulching equipment. 52 NAL Call. No.: SB950.A1I66 Designing weeds out of urban landscapes. Daar, S.

Language: English Descriptors: Triticum aestivum; Secale cereale; Root exudates; Allelopathy; Chemical composition; Bioassays; Weed control; Biological control Abstract: Hydroxamic acids (Hx) produced by some cereal crops have been associated with allelopathy. However, the release of Hx to the soil by the producing plant--an essential condition for a compound to be involved in allelopathy--has not been shown. GC and HPLC analysis of roots and root exudates of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and rye (Secale cereale L.) cultivars, with high Hx levels in their leaves, demonstrated the presence of these compounds in the roots of all cultivars analyzed and in root exudates of rye. Moreover, bioassays employing root exudates collected from wheat and rye seedlings demonstrated that only rye exudates inhibited root growth of wild oats, Avena fatua L., a weed whose root growth is inhibited by Hx. These results suggest that rye could potentially interfere with the growth of Avena fatua in nature and that this interference could be due to the release of Hx to the soil by way of roots. 56 NAL Call.

The hexane extract, which contained the nonpolar components of the periderm tissue, was least inhibitory. It inhibited velvetleaf, proso millet, black nightshade, and redroot pigweed germination, and maximum inhibition was 56% for black nightshade at 200 mg of periderm extracted ml-1. The ethyl acetate fraction was inhibitory to proso millet, velvetleaf, black nightshade, goosegrass, tall morningglory, coffee senna, and redroot pigweed. The estimated I50(3) for ethyl acetate ranged from 17 mg periderm extracted ml-1 for black nightshade to 201 mg ml-1 for coffee senna. Sweetpotato, tall morningglory, and eclipta germination was not inhibited by this extract at the concentrations tested. The aqueous methanol extract was much more inhibitory than the hexane or ethyl acetate extracts, and there was considerable variation between species in response to this extract The I50 estimates for the aqueous methanol extract were 0.5, 0.6, 2.8, 4.4, 5.1, 9.6, 15.7, 21.0, and 25.8 mg ml-1 for velvetleaf, proso millet, black nightshade, goosegrass, sweetpotato, tall morningglory, eclipta, coffee senna, and pigweed, respectively. 57 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Oklahoma; Vigna unguiculata; Weed control; Paraquat; Trifluralin; Metolachlor; Mechanical methods; Cultivation; Crop yield; Economic evaluation Abstract: The herbicides paraquat, trifluralin, and metolachlor were compared for efficacy of weed control in cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] with and without cultivation as a supplemental strategy. Herbicides also were compared against a no cultivation-no herbicide treatment (control) and against cultivation without an herbicide. Cultivation had no significant effect on seed yield, biological yield, or harvest index of cowpea. Paraquat, applied before seeding but after emergence of weeds, was ineffective for weed control and usually did not change cowpea yield from that obtained without an herbicide. Trifluralin and metolachlor more than tripled cowpea seed yield compared with that obtained without an herbicide in 1988, when potential weed pressure was 886 g.m-2 (dry weight). The main effects of trifluralin and metolachlor were not significant for cowpea seed yield in 1989, when potential weed pressure was 319 g.m-2 (dry weight). However, in 1989, these two herbicides still increased cowpea seed yield compared with that of the control and increased net farm income by more than $300/ha compared with the income obtained from the control. 59 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Minnesota; Zea mays; Weed control; Row spacing; Glycine max; Helianthus annuus; Sustainability; Herbicides Abstract: Crops grown in narrow rows (NR, 0.25 to 0.38 m) shade weed seedlings more than do those grown in traditional wide rows (WR, 0.76 m). NR crops may require less herbicide and interrow cultivation than WR crops for equally effective weed control. This hypothesis was tested by comparing weed control and crop yield in NR and WR crops when the following percentages of recommended application rates (RAR) of standard herbicides were applied: soybean, 0, 50 and 100%, sunflower, 0, 25, 50, and 100%; and corn 0, 33, and 100% in three separate sets of experiments conducted over 2, 3, and 4 years, respectively. In all treatments with 100% RAR, excellent weed control prevented reductions in crop yield. When only 25 to 50% RAR was applied, weed control was consistently high in NR (82 to 99% control), but variable in WR (42 to 99% control). Weed control and crop yields typically were lowest in NR without herbicides. Interrow cultivation controlled 0 to 81% of weeds in WR crops. In reduced herbicide treatments (25 to 50% RAR), yields of NR soybean and sunflower typically were about equal to those in WR with 100% RAR, but NR corn yields were about 10% less. Considering the reduced herbicide use and lower weed control costs, planting corn, soybean, and sunflower in narrow rows may represent a practical form of low-input production of these important crops. 66 NAL Call.

The bioassay results indicate that cold temperatures and exogenous hydroquinone represent a dual stress to spurge cell growth that can be partially ameliorated by hydrolysis of sucrose. The persistent susceptibility of leafy spurge suggests that hydroquinone- producing forage plants (which are not toxic to animals) might be used as natural competitors. 69 NAL Call.

Journal of economic entomology v. 86 (3): p. 924-928; 1993 Jun. Includes references. Language: English Descriptors: Illinois; Zea mays; Seedlings; Papaipema nebris; Survival; Cultural control; Insect control; Tillage; Weed control; Weeds Abstract: Increased use of conservation tillage by midwestern corn growers in the 1970s and 1980s has led to a greater incidence of problems with the stalk borer, Papaipema nebris (Guenee). In particular, serious infestations have occurred throughout entire fields where no-till is practiced. A 3-yr factorial experiment (1983-1986) assessed the effect of three tillage practices (fall moldboard plow and spring disk, fall chisel plow and spring disk, and no-till) at two levels of weed management (weed growth present or absent in spring) on the survival of stalk borer eggs and development of larvae from surviving eggs. Injury to corn was used as a relative measure of stalk borer survival. Egg masses were infested on or immediately adjacent to grassy weeds after harvest but before tillage operations took place. Winter wheat was sowed in the fall to supplement natural weed growth in the plots with no weed control. In plots with the high level of weed control, plant growth was controlled, as needed, with paraquat in spring before planting. In all three studies, the tillage X weed management interaction was not significant and the moldboard-plow treatment significantly decreased stalk borer damage when compared with the no-till treatment. The chisel- plow treatment was generally intermediate between the no-till treatment and the moldboard-plow treatment in reducing stalk borer damage. The absence of weed growth in spring tended to decrease infestations of larvae, although the difference in damage between the two levels of weed management was significant in only one of the study periods. In that period, the interval between predicted 50% stalk borer egg hatch and the one-leaf-stage of corn development was greater than that interval for the other two studies. Even with the burial of eggs by soil with the moldboard-plow treatment, some larvae successfully eclosed and survived to damage corn seedlings in two of the three studies, with or without the presence of weeds. Although the results clearly show that no-tillage planting practices favor the survival of stalk borer eggs and larvae, other studies suggest that stalk borers would be better managed by controlling grassy weeds within fields in the late summer and early fall to prevent oviposition rather than relying on tillage or weed control practices to reduce populations of eggs and larvae after oviposition has already taken place. 71 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Setaria faberi; Setaria viridis; Weed biology; Cultural weed control; Conservation tillage; Plowing; Chiselling; Seedling emergence; Population density; Buried seeds; Depth Abstract: The effect of tillage systems on depth of emergence and densities of giant and green foxtail under different environmental and cropping conditions were evaluated from 1985 to 1987 at Arlington, Hancock, and Janesville, WI. Mean emergence depths in no-till were the shallowest, followed by chisel plow and conventional tillage at each location. At least 40% of the giant and green foxtail plants emerged from the upper 1 cm of soil in no-till compared to about 25% in chisel plow and less than 15% in conventional tillage. As many as 25% of the plants emerged from greater than 4 cm in conventional tillage compared to about 10% in chisel plow and less than 5% in no-till. Seedlings emerged from greater depths in a loamy sand than in a silt loam soil regardless of tillage system. At Arlington, green foxtail was the dominant species in conventional tillage, while giant foxtail dominated in chisel plow and no-till. Foxtail densities were greater in chisel plow and no-till than in conventional tillage at all three locations. 72 NAL Call. No.: 79.9 C122 Effective irrigation for weed control. Hartin, J.S.

In both 1988 and 1989, the mulch greatly increased fresh and dry weight yields of basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) and rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.). Parsley (Petroselinum crispum Nym.) yield did not respond to the mulch. Preplant application of napropamide provided weed control for 2 weeks, but was subsequently not effective on a heavy infestation of purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.). Hand- hoed and glyphosate-treated plots (both with and without plastic) produced equivalent yields. 74 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Montana; Centaurea maculosa; Weed control; Cultural control; Defoliation; Grazing effects; Plant competition; Gramineae; Light relations; Shade; Regrowth; Competitive ability Abstract: Spotted knapweed (Centaurea maculosa Lam.) is a noxious plant that has invaded many native ranges in the Northern Intermountain Region. Although the use of livestock to control knapweed is intuitively appealing, feasibility of the strategy has received little attention. This greenhouse study was conducted to evaluate response of spotted knapweed to defoliation, light, and competition. Although total knapweed biomass (g/plant) was not altered by defoliation treatments, several of the more severe treatments adversely affected root, crown, and final harvest foliage. Root and crown growth were also adversely affected by increasing competition from bluebunch wheatgrass (Pseudoroegneria spicata). Foliage, root, and crown growth of spotted knapweed increased significantly when plants received full, rather than half light. Spotted knapweed was less sensitive to defoliation than was bluebunch wheatgrass. Although the feasibility of using livestock to control spotted knapweed cannot be completely disregarded, data suggest that the knapweed would have to be selectively and repeatedly grazed during the growing season. 76 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Wisconsin; Chenopodium album; Annuals; Weeds; Seeds; Seed banks; Weed biology; Seed germination; Population dynamics; Spatial distribution; Tillage; No-tillage; Conservation tillage; Plowing Abstract: The effect of different levels of tillage and weed management on population, distribution, and germination of weed seed was evaluated in three tillage systems at Arlington and Hancock, WI, in 1989 and 1990. Over 60% of all weed seed in the top 19 cm of soil were found in the top 1 cm in no- tillage at both sites. As depth increased, concentration of weed seed declined logarithmically in no-tillage. In chisel plowing, over 30% of seed were in the top 1 cm and seed concentration decreased linearly with depth. Moldboard plowing had uniform distribution of weed seed in the top 19 cm of soil. Preemergence metolachlor plus atrazine decreased weed seed population by 50% compared with no treatment over all tillage systems. One year of the herbicide treatment plus handweeding to assure weed-free conditions did not reduce seed numbers in chisel plowing or moldboard plowing compared to herbicide alone. Seed numbers with no-tillage and weed-free conditions decreased by 40% relative to herbicide alone. Common lambsquarters germination was 40% greater in moldboard plowing and chisel plowing compared with no-tillage. Germination was highest in seed taken from 9 to 19 cm deep in moldboard plowing and from 0 to 9 cm deep in chisel plowing. 80 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Oklahoma; Juniperus Virginiana; Brush control; Prescribed burning; Vegetation management; Pastures; Grassland management Abstract: Fire-scorched crowns of live eastern redcedar (Juniperus virginiana L.) were ignited using a propane torch in 3 studies to quantify the efficacy and to determine the feasibility of the technique as a follow-up treatment for killing trees that survived prescribed burns. In the first study, we ignited 98 fire-scorched, live trees 20 to 64 days following a prescribed burn. Igniting scorched trees in several positions killed 90% of the crown and two-thirds of the trees regardless of tree size. Logistic regression models indicated reburning was more effective on trees highly damaged after prescribed burning. In the second study, one person equipped with a self-contained backpack propane burner used single-point ignition to treat in average of 1 tree every 17 seconds (range 11 to 20 seconds) on 0.25-ha plots. Effectiveness of the single-point ignition declined with increasing tree size. In the third study, the average time required to burn a tree was 19 seconds in eight 32-ha pastures. Cost in this field-scale study for labor, propane, fuel, and equipment depreciation was $0.03/ignited tree. 83 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: South Carolina; Ipomoea batatas; Allelopathy; Cyperus esculentus; Weed control; Biological control; Competitive ability; Crop weed competition; Roots; Growth rate; Inhibition; Plant extracts; Periderm; Crop yield; Tubers Abstract: In field studies, 'Regal' sweet potato greatly reduced yellow nutsedge growth when the two species were grown together using standard cultural practices. At the end of the growing season, yellow nutsedge shoot dry weight per m2, in plots where the two species were planted together was less than 10% of shoot weight in plots where nutsedge was grown alone. Presence of yellow nutsedge did not markedly affect sweet potato growth. When grown together in a greenhouse experiment designed to minimize the competitive effects of sweet potato on yellow nutsedge, yellow nutsedge growth was reduced more than 50% by sweet potato 8 and 12 weeks after planting. The most polar fraction of serially extracted sweet potato periderm tissue was highly inhibitory to yellow nutsedge root growth. These results indicate that sweet potato interference with yellow nutsedge under field conditions is partially due to allelopathy. 87 NAL Call.

The reduction in leafy spurge infestation and winterhardiness by fall tillage, N application, or herbicide treatment was evaluated. Cultivating leafy spurge twice each fall for 3 yr provided complete control. Cultivation followed by N application at 225 kg ha-1 reduced the stand by 85% after 3 yr, whereas N applied alone had little effect. Picloram plus 2,4-D at 0.6 plus 1 kg ha-1 reduced the infestation to 65% of the untreated control after 2 yr but then the infestation declined rapidly to 1% after a third application. Leafy spurge cold tolerance decreased as root depth increased. The GR50 and LT50, the temperatures required to reduce total dry weight and survival, respectively, by 50% varied by root depth and treatment. For example, the LT50 and GR50 for untreated leafy spurge averaged -19 and < -20 C for crowns, respectively, compared to the -16 and -18 C for roots from 0 to 15 cm deep and -13 and -12.5 C for roots from 15 to 30 cm deep. The GR50 and LT50 temperature after 2 yr of treatment was reduced to 0 C by two cultivations in fall or picloram plus 2,4-D. Carbohydrate content was not a good indicator of winterhardiness. Cultivation reduced the leafy spurge root system faster than herbicide treatment especially at the 15- to 30-cm depth. 89 NAL Call.

This paper presents a theoretical model of the weed control decision and develops a MOTAD programming model. The model uses herbicides at levels of risk aversion found in previous empirical studies. This result was not changed by equal (or even higher) ASCS yields for not using herbicides, a tax on herbicides, or the elimination of deficiency payments. The variability of returns was more important in influencing a farmer to choose herbicides than the higher expected returns in a nonherbicide system. 91 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Agrostis stolonifera var. palustris; Crop weed competition; Poa annua; Competitive ability; Allelopathy; Leachates; Field experimentation; Apparatus; Design; Golf green soils Abstract: Golf-course superintendents have long observed the competitive nature of annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.) as a weed on creeping bentgrass [Agrostis stolonifera L. var. palustris (Huds.) Farw.] putting greens. Allelopathy has been suggested as a contributing factor in this competitiveness. This study tested the allelopathy hypothesis under putting- green conditions using a modified field approach of the conventional stair-step experimental procedure. Annual blue- grass and creeping bentgrass sand putting greens, each 297 m2, were established, and leachate from these greens was used to irrigate replicated sand-based creeping bentgrass test greens. Moisture sensing and irrigation of the test plots were under continuous electronic control. The leachate sampling and delivery system functioned flawlessly throughout the 2-yr period, in spite of weather extremes (>40 degrees C). After two growing seasons of monthly monitoring, no consistent effects on turf color, foliar ground cover, shoot density, or disease incidence were found in the test green to indicate allelopathy. 92 NAL Call.

In greenhouse experiments, greatest goosegrass control was achieved with diclofop when plants were maintained at 1.3 cm. Increased diclofop rates were required to suppress goosegrass mowed higher than 1.3 cm or unmowed. Greater than 90% goosegrass control was achieved with the combination of 1.3-cm mowing height and 0.6 kg ai ha-1 of diclofop. In field experiments, a minimum of 2 weeks was necessary for complete herbicidal activity. Diclofop at 1.1 kg ha-1 provided >90% control of goosegrass mowed between 1.9 to 2.5 cm. The addition of nonionic surfactant (0.25% by vol) to diclofop did not influence control. The addition of metribuzin (0.1 kg ai ha-1) to diclofop resulted in initial increased control, but it was transient. The addition of MSMA (2.2 kg ai ha-1) to diclofop reduced goosegrass control an average of 18% compared to diclofop treatments alone. Tifdwarf bermudagrass was more sensitive to diclofop compared to Tifgreen. Seven to 14 days were required for Tifdwarf to recover from initial injury. This injury, although significant, was acceptable for bermudagrass used for golf greens. Clipping weights following treatment were also less for Tifdwarf than Tifgreen. 95 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Oklahoma; Juniperus Virginiana; Brush control; Prescribed burning; Timing; Growth analysis; Growth rate; Age of trees; Plant height; Crown; Canopy; Habit; Range management; Vegetation management Abstract: Eastern redcedar (Juniperus virginiana L.) trees from a location in western, central, and eastern Oklahoma were aged by tree ring analysis to assess the relationship of tree age to tree height and crown area. The relationship of tree age to crown size differed with location. Trees in the oldest age class, 28 to 29 years, ranged in height from 6.2 m on the western Oklahoma location to 8.3 m on the eastern Oklahoma location. The oldest trees at all locations were still actively growing. Height growth rate of the oldest class of trees averaged 0.5 to 0.6 m yr-1 on the western and eastern study locations, respectively. Eastern redcedar reached 2.0 m in height at about 8 years of age on the eastern Oklahoma location. Trees reached 2.0 m in height in 10 to 14 years at the other locations. This suggests that burning intervals should be more frequent on the eastern Oklahoma location than on the central and western Oklahoma locations. Crown area as a function of tree age was not as similar as tree height among the 3 locations. Not only did the relationship differ among locations, but it differed also between 2 central Oklahoma range sites. Crown area of 28-year-old trees ranged from only 15 m(2) on the central Oklahoma Loamy Prairie to 40 m(2) at the eastern Oklahoma location. These data suggest that the smaller crown area of trees at the central Oklahoma location may be a result of an influence other than environment, such as an introduction of plants of a different race with an inherent columnar growth habit. The reduction in forage production associated with eastern redcedar and the efficacy of prescribed burning for controlling eastern redcedar would change more rapidly as trees age on the eastern Oklahoma location than on the other locations. 97 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Texas; Rangelands; Fires; Prescribed burning; Measurement; Temperature; Thermocouples; Fire behavior Abstract: A technique for recording time-temperature curves within field-scale range fires was accomplished using a commercially available data logger capable of rapidly reading large numbers of thermocouples. A specially designed fireproof box was utilized to house and protect the data logger within the center of the burned area. Programming features allowed temperatures to be measured and recorded rapidly (each second) during the passage of the fire front and recorded as 1-minute means before and after the combustion interval. Strategic placement of thermocouples provided time-temperature profiles for various heights above ground, rate of spread, and duration of heat above specific temperatures. Additionally, measurement of preheating prior to the actual flame passage was obtained by placement of the recorder and thermocouples well within the burned area. This technique may provide better quantification of fire effects on vegetation, especially woody weeds targeted for control with fire, by documenting temperature extremes and their duration at critical growing points on plants. 104 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Indiana; Zea mays; Setaria faberi; Weed biology; Seed banks; Population density; Population dynamics; Plowing; No-tillage; Rotations; Allelopathy; Cropping systems; Crop yield; Weed control; Chemical control; Herbicides Abstract: A long-term integrated pest management study initiated in 1980 and continued through 1991 was conducted to determine interactions of tillage, crop rotation, and herbicide use levels on weed seed populations, weed populations, and crop yield. This paper presents giant foxtail seed population and stand along with corn yield in continuous corn, corn rotated with soybean, or corn following wheat in a soybean-wheat-corn rotation. Increasing herbicide use levels above the minimum reduced giant foxtail seed in the 0-to 2.5- cm depth of soil. Reducing tillage from conventional moldboard plowing to chiseling to no-tilling increased giant foxtail seed in only the top 0 to 2.5 cm of soil. No-tilling increased giant foxtail seed over conventional tillage in each year data were collected. Growing corn in a soybean-corn or soybean- wheat-corn rotation reduced giant foxtail seed from corn grown continuously in all three soil depths sampled: 0 to 2.5 cm, 2.5 to 10 cm, and 10 to 20 cm. Although stands of giant foxtail tended to follow soil weed seed counts, crop rotation significantly reduced giant foxtail stand with maximum reduction in the soybean-wheat-corn rotation in all tillage systems. Giant foxtail stands were reduced following wheat in no-tilling, probably because of the allelopathic influence of wheat straw. Corn yields showed weed management levels above minimum control are not justified regardless of tillage and crop rotation. 107 NAL Call.

Includes references. Language: English Descriptors: Avena sativa; Weeds; Seeds; Microwave treatment; Microwave radiation; Heat treatment; Cultural weed control; Seed germination; Germination inhibitors; Soil sterilization Abstract: Irradiation with radiofrequency energy (RF), which includes microwaves, brings about dielectric beating of moist materials. Some agricultural applications of dielectric heating by RF have included insects control in stored grains and improved germination of seed stocks. The objective of the present research was to evaluate microwave heating of soils as a technique for weed control. Approximately 800-g masses of soil of variable wetness (10-280 g H2O/kg soil) containing seeds of oat (Avena sativa L.) and indigenous weeds were heated in a microwave (2.45 GHz) oven for 15 to 240 s. Soil masses were 5 cm deep in flats. Oat seeds were placed 2 cm deep into the soil. Heating of soils to 80 degrees C or higher inhibited emergence of oats and weed species. About 120 s of heating were needed to reach 80 degrees C. Maintaining this temperature for 30 s was needed for strong inhibition. Moisture content in this experiment had little effect on dielectric heating. Time required to heat soil to killing temperatures appears to be a factor limiting application of this technique. The procedure may be applicable to soil sterilization in cases in which other physical processes or chemical means are inconvenient or undesirable. 109 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Minnesota; Glycine max; Weed control; Chemical control; Farm inputs; Alachlor; Metribuzin; Application rates; Hoeing; Manual weed control; Chemical vs. cultural weed control; Weeds; Plant density; Crop yield Abstract: Information on integrated weed management systems is needed so that producers can develop systems that minimize the environmental impacts of weed control without sacrificing profitability of crop production. Reduced rates of broadcast- or band-applied alachlor [2-chloro-N-(2,6-diethylphenyl)-N- (methoxymethyl)acetamide] plus metribuzin [4-amino-6-(1,1- dimethylethyl)-3-(methylthio)-1,2,4-triazin-4(4H) -one] and rotary hoeing, each in combination with between-row cultivation, were evaluated for weed control in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.]. One or two between-row cultivations allowed for a 50 to 75% reduction in the amount of herbicide used without reducing weed control or soybean yield. Reducing herbicide rates also decreased soybean injury. Two passes of a rotary hoe reduced weed densities up to 75% and increased the effectiveness of subsequent cultivations. However, two passes of the rotary hoe reduced soybean density as compared to other treatments. In 1989, under low weed densities, several mechanical weed control systems resulted in soybean yields similar to the weed-free control. In 1990, under greater weed densities, mechanical weed control systems resulted in reduced soybean yields compared to weed control systems that included herbicides. Based on the results of this research, switching from chemical-intensive systems to mechanical weed management systems under high weed pressure is not advisable. Under high weed pressure, reduced rates of herbicide, broadcasted or banded over the soybean row, in combination with cultivation provided excellent weed control. Mechanical weed control as a part of an integrated weed management system should maximize weed control while minimizing herbicide use. 113 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Vicia; Vetch; Cover crops; Light relations; Allelopathy; Soil water; Temperature; Shade; Establishment; Zea mays; Abutilon theophrasti; Setaria viridis; Chenopodium album; Night temperature; Weed control; Suppression Abstract: The influence of light, soil moisture. and temperature on establishment of selected species through hairy vetch residue on the soil surface was investigated under controlled conditions in the greenhouse. Hairy vetch residue at rates ranging from 0 to 616 g m-2 had no effect on corn, slightly reduced velvetleaf and green foxtail establishment, and severely inhibited common lambsquarters establishment under full sunlight conditions. The same rates of hairy vetch residue reduced velvetleaf, green foxtail, and common lambsquarters establishment more under a shade cloth with 9% light transmittance than under full sunlight. Day/night temperatures of 24/16 or 32/26 degrees C had no effect and soil moistures of 50 or 133% field capacity had little effect on response of all species to residue rates. Weed establishment was similar under shade cloth without residue as under residue with an equivalent light transmittance, suggesting that light was more important than allelopathy or physical impedance for weed suppression by hairy vetch residue. 117 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Ipomoea batatas; Periderm; Plant composition; Allelopathy; Seed germination; Inhibition; Weed control Abstract: Chromatographic procedures were used to isolate inhibitors of seed germination from sweet potato root periderm tissue. The inhibitory activity of all fractions was monitored using a proso millet seed germination bioassay. A single HPLC peak, representing approximately 1.2% of the periderm dry weight, accounted for most of the inhibitory activity. The active fraction was labile in methanolic solution. Further fractionation of this peak by HPLC methods was not successful. In vitro seed germination dose-response relationships were established for the peak. The various seed species exhibited an extremely wide range of sensitivity. The I50 values were 0.16, 0.013 and 0.011 mg/ml for redroot pigweed, velvetleaf, and proso millet, respectively. Tall morning glory was not inhibited by any concentration tested. 121 NAL Call. No.: 79.8 W41 Jointed goatgrass (Aegilops cylindrica) ecology and interference in winter wheat. Anderson, R.L.

Language: English Descriptors: Triticum aestivum; Aegilops cylindrica; Weed biology; Crop weed competition; Phenology; Emergence; Plant development; Water uptake; Growth rate; Cultural weed control; Crop yield; Yield losses Abstract: Jointed goatgrass is a serious weed in winter wheat, and presently no herbicides are available for its selective control. This study examined the effect of time of emergence and removal on jointed goatgrass interference in winter wheat, as well as its rate of development and soil water extraction. The goal of this study was to suggest cultural practices that minimize jointed goatgrass interference in winter wheat. Jointed goatgrass development was identical to 'Vona' winter wheat in two crop seasons, even though precipitation differed drastically between seasons. Depth of soil water extraction of both species was also similar. Jointed goatgrass at 18 plantsm-2 reduced grain yield 27 and 17% when emerging 0 and 42 d after Vona, respectively. The relationship between time of jointed goatgrass emergence after winter wheat and grain yield loss was Y = 30.6 - 0.29X (X = days, r = 0.72), indicating that plants emerging in late fall still caused yield loss. Removing jointed goatgrass by early March prevented winter wheat grain yield loss. The interference data suggests that producers assess infestation levels and plan control measures in early March. 122 NAL Call. No.: SB476.G7 Keeping turfgrass out of flower beds. Agnew, N.H.

Language: English Descriptors: Maryland; Cabt; New York; Cabt; Secale cereale; Vicia villosa; Cover crops; Crop residues; Biomass; Microenvironments; Weeds; Seed banks; Seed germination; Soil temperature; Light penetration; Soil water content; Cultural weed control Abstract: Cover crop residue on the surface of soils in no- tillage systems can suppress weed emergence and growth. Although allelopathy often is invoked to explain weed suppression by residue, physical alterations of the seed environment could be important as well. This experiment was conducted to determine the light, temperature, and moisture conditions under cover crop residue. Hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth) and rye (Secale cereale L.) were desiccated with a contact herbicide and residue rates ranging from one-fourth to four times the natural residue biomass were established in experiments at Beltsville, MD and Ithaca, N.Y. Photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) was determined above and below residue at approximately monthly intervals after initiation of the experiment. Transmittance of PPFD through residue declined according to an exponential decay function of residue biomass. Transmittance was similar through hairy vetch and rye residue initially, but as the experiment progressed, transmittance through hairy vetch residue was greater than that through rye because of faster decomposition of hairy vetch residue. Spectral analysis from 400 to 1100 nm showed a slight increase in transmittance as wavelength increased resulting in a slight lowering of the red (660 nm) to far-red (730 nm) ratio relative to that of unobstructed sunlight. Soil maximum temperature and daily soil temperature amplitude were reduced by cover crop residue. Residue prevented the decline of soil water content during droughty periods. Results indicated that reductions in light transmittance and daily soil temperature amplitude by cover crop residue were sufficient to reduce emergence of weeds but that maintenance of soil moisture could increase weed emergence. 125 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Florida; Eichhornia crassipes; Mechanical harvesting; Weed control; Mathematical models; Simulation models; Compaction Abstract: A mathematical model representing a water hyacinth towing system of moderate size was formulated as a network of mechanical components. The system consisted of a rectangular device enclosing water hyacinth mats of various shapes and sizes and towing them by an applied input velocity. Three physical properties of a mat were found to be significant: viscous drag of plant rhizomes in water, viscous friction of leaves sliding over each other during compaction, and masses of the mat and accelerated water. Mass of the enclosure and a spring in the enclosure for measuring towing force also was incorporated in the model. Descriptions of the components and their interconnections were based on experimental observations and physical and hydromechanical fundamentals. Analyses of model behaviour were performed for towing velocity less than 0.4 m/s, the experimentally observed velocity at the onset of mat instability. Effects of different acceleration patterns, mat physical characteristics, and towing velocity on system behaviour were investigated in physical experiments and simulations with the model. The model and new information upon which it was based permit engineering design of different types of systems for harvesting water hyacinths in sewage treatment, canals, and lakes. 128 NAL Call.

In the series analytic: Pest control with enhanced environmental safety / edited by S.O. Duke, J.J. Menn, and J.R. Plimmer. Includes references. Language: English Descriptors: Phytotoxins; Plant composition; Herbicidal properties; Allelopathy Abstract: Natural products of plants and microbes offer a vast array of secondary compounds with biological activity, including phytotoxicity. Many of these compounds have the potential to be used directly as herbicides or as structural leads for new synthetic herbicides. Although natural compounds have made a large impact in the insecticide area, relatively few successes have been obtained with these compounds as herbicides. The most notable success is that of glufosinate. Use of natural products in a herbicide discovery strategy has been hindered by several problems. The number of options that must be considered in discovery and development of a natural product as a herbicide is larger than for a synthetic herbicide. Furthermore, the molecular complexity, limited environmental stability, and low herbicidal activity of many phytotoxic natural products are discouraging. Rediscovery of known natural phytotoxins can be time-consuming and expensive. However, advances in chemistry and biotechnology are increasing the speed and case with which humankind can discover and develop natural products as herbicides, while diminishing returns are being experienced with conventional herbicide discovery efforts based on "synthesize and screen" strategies. 141 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Florida; Pinus taeda; Pinus elliottii; Forest plantations; Intensive silviculture; Canopy; Light; Interception; Weed control; Pine needles; Leaf fall; Leaf area index; Fertilizers; Biomass production; Plant competition Abstract: Canopy dynamics, fight interception, and productivity of 6-yr-old slash (Pinus elliottii var. elliottii Engelm.) and loblolly pine (P. taeda L.) were investigated using a 2 X 2 X 2 factorial experiment (species, annual fertilization, sustained weed control) in north central Florida. The strong nutritional gradient imposed by the cultural treatments significantly accelerated canopy development. Needlefall (NF) mass for the weed control + fertilization treatments was increased over the checks by about 400% (0.8 to 4.0 Mg ha-1) for slash pine and 1050% (from 0.4 to 4.6 Mg ha-1) for loblolly pine. Levels of annual NF were strongly correlated (r2 > 0.90) with stand basal area, and cumulative NF through time was successfully modeled using a logistic function. Cultural treatments had no significant effect on needle longevity or temporal NF patterns; however, large treatment-related responses in leaf area index (LAI; all-sided) were apparent for both species (slash pine = 1.5 to 7.2 m2m-2; loblolly pine = 1.0 to 10.6 m2m-2). Mean annual fight interception (photosynthetically active radiation) for the check and combination treatments paralleled LAI responses and ranged from 28 to 74% for slash pine and 22 to 81% for loblolly pine. Significant species differences in aboveground biomass production (loblolly pine = 3.1 to 16.0 Mg ha -1yr -1; slash pine = 3.5 to 8.0 Mg ha-1 yr -1) were principally due to greater LAI (reflecting differences in specific leaf area and branch structure) and higher fight use efficiency (0.81 vs. 0.47 g MJ-1) of loblolly pine. 142 NAL Call.

Madison, Wis. : American Society of Agronomy; 1991 Mar. Agronomy journal v. 83 (2): p. 330-333; 1991 Mar. Includes references. Language: English Descriptors: California; Medicago sativa; Companion crops; Crop density; Avena sativa; Sowing rates; Crop establishment; Intercropping; Crop yield; Forage; Herbage; Dry matter accumulation; Weeds; Population density; Irrigated farming Abstract: Companion crops have been used in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) establishment to increase forage yield and decrease weeds. When oat (Avena sativa L.) is used as a companion crop, the typical seeding rate is 50 to 75 kg ha-1. In irrigated situations this seeding rate has depressed alfalfa yield and stand density. This study was conducted under irrigated conditions to evaluate alfalfa yields, forage composition at first harvest and alfalfa and weed densities at four oat seeding rates; 0 to 36 kg ha-1. Two field experiments were established at Madera and one at Courtland, CA. The interplanting of oat with alfalfa increased first-harvest forage yields 2.45 to 8.62 Mg ha-1, relative to alfalfa planted alone. Alfalfa yields at subsequent cuttings during the first season were reduced by the oat companion crop. By the last cutting in the first season and all cuttings in the second season, yields were equal for all treatments. First- season forage yields were increased 1.54 to 5.05 Mg ha-1 by an oat companion crop. The oat component of the first cutting ranged from 71 to 98%. Alfalfa and weed biomass were both reduced by the oat companion crop. The oat companion crop reduced alfalfa stand density during establishment, but density was higher at the beginning of the second season at two of the three sites when the oat seeding rate was 18 kg ha-1. Alfalfa established with an oat companion crop had an average of 30% fewer weeds in the second year when 9 kg ha-1 were used and almost 50% fewer weeds at 18 kg -1. Thus, the seeding rate of an oat companion crop considered best for optimizing yields and reducing weeds under irrigation in California is approximately 18 kg ha-1. 146 NAL Call.

C. Koch] trees grown under eight combinations of orchard floor management and irrigation was determined by leaf and soil analyses. Orchard floor management practices were weedy-unmowed, weedy-mowed, weed control with herbicides, and weed control by disking, with trees either irrigated or nonirrigated. The element most affected by treatment was K. Mean leaf K for the two sample years was significantly (P < 0.01) lower in the weedy plots (0.56% K) than in those where weeds were controlled (0.76% K), suggesting a highly competitive effect of weeds for K with young pecan trees. Weed competition also suppressed leaf Ca and Mg, but presence of weeds or sod resulted in higher soil pH and higher leaf Zn. Leaf concentrations of N, P, B, Cu, and Fe were not significantly affected by the treatments. 149 NAL Call.

Includes references. Language: English Descriptors: Triticum aestivum; Glycine max; Phenolic acids; Soil chemistry; Allelopathy; Fallow systems; Tillage; Weed control; Biological control Abstract: Soil core (0-2.5 and/or 0.10 cm) samples were taken from wheat-no till, wheat-conventional till, and fallow- conventional till soybean cropping systems from July to October of 1989 and extracted with water in an autoclave. The soil extracts were analyzed for seven common phenolic acids (p-coumaric, vanillic, p-hydroxybenzoic, syringic, caffeic, ferulic, and sinapic; in order of importance) by high- performance liquid chromatography. The highest concentration observed was 4 micrograms/g soil for p-coumaric acid. Folin & Ciocalteu's phenol reagent was used to determine total phenolic acid content. Total phenolic acid content of 0- to 2.5-cm core samples was approximately 34% higher than that of the 0- to 10-cm core samples. Phenolic acid content of 0- to 2.5-cm core samples from wheat-no till systems was significantly higher than those from all other cropping systems. Individual phenolic acids and total phenolic acid content of soils were highly correlated. The last two observations were confirmed by principal component analysis. The concentrations were confirmed by principal component analysis of individual phenolic acids extracted from soil samples were related to soil pH, water content of soil samples, total soil carbon, and total soil nitrogen. Indirect evidence suggested that phenolic acids recovered by the water- autoclave procedure used came primarily from bound forms in the soil samples. 153 NAL Call.

Includes references. Language: English Descriptors: Nigeria; Vigna unguiculata; Insect pests; Biological control; Cultural control; Harvesting date; Natural enemies; Planting date; Parasites of insect pests; Predators of insect pests; Weed control Abstract: Insect pest problems on cowpeas can be reduced by use of strategies which involve ecological manipulations. These include crop diversification (mixed cropping, etc.), alteration or planting dates, crop rotation, trap-cropping and weed control. The merits of these cultural methods of pest control are discussed. The status of biological control of cowpea pests is still low but promising. The crop is an annual and therefore offers very limited possibilities for the application of the classical biological control techniques. However, a large number of parasitic Hymenoptera, Diptera and predatory Hemiptera, notably Reduviids have been identified in the cowpea ecosystem. Ecological studies of some of these have been carried out and levels or parasitism determined in a few cases, but their significance in the dynamics of cowpea pest populations have not been fully established. It is however known that conservation of parasites and predators in their wild environment is one of the traditional biological control methods. Therefore, a rationalized pesticide programme for the control of cowpea pests should aim at preventing hazards to their natural enemies so as to increase their biocontrol efficiency. 158 NAL Call.

Areas treated from 1958-1964 for mesquite control on the USDA-ARS Jornada Experimental Range and the New Mexico State University College Ranch were sampled to determine mesquite density changes. On herbicide treated areas sampled in 1976 and again in 1988, mesquite densities increased 10% to 128% and had densities from 67 to 494 plants/ha. Two areas treated by either bulldozing or fenuron in 1959-60, and with original kills near 100%, had an average density of 377 plants/ha by 1988, with an establishment rate of 13.5 plants/ha/year. On the College Ranch, mesquite densities increased 11%, from 130 (1982) to 147 (1988) plants/ha. Only 19% of a cohort of mesquite seedlings which germinated in 1989 were still alive in May 1990. Even though only a small percentage of the mesquite that germinated survived into the second year, this is enough to change former grasslands into mesquite-dominated rangelands. 160 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Oklahoma; Sylvilagus floridanus; Population dynamics; Population density; Habitats; Brush control; Range management; Tebuthiuron; Triclopyr; Prescribed burning; Ecotones; Forests; Prairies Abstract: Knowledge of how resident wildlife populations respond to brush management strategies is especially limited for rangelands in the cross timbers vegetation type of Oklahoma. We examined how cottontail rabbit (Sylvilagus floridanus) density and habitat use were influenced by applications of tebuthiuron or triclopyr, with and without annual burning, on cross timbers rangeland. Line transect flush-counts, mark-recapture livetrapping, and fecal pellet counts were used to evaluate seasonal differences in population density among 5 brush control treatments. Cottontail rabbits (n = 225) were flushed along 362 km of line transects during 5 census periods. Density in winter was consistently lower than summer for all treatments, except for the untreated control in winter 1987. Line transect density estimates varied from 0 to 1.975 rabbits/ha and suggested that herbicide and annual burning treatments had a positive influence on cottontail rabbit populations compared to untreated controls. Mark-recapture density estimates did not differ among treatments. Fecal pellet counts were greater on herbicide-treated pastures than an untreated control in both spring and fall. Prairie-eastern redcedar (Juniperus virginiana L.) and forest-prairie ecotone habitats were utilized greater than expected by cottontail rabbits. Mature hardwood overstory and mixed-brush habitats were avoided. Tebuthiuron and triclopyr effectively deceased hardwood overstory and increased preferred habitats for cottontail rabbits. 166 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: New Zealand; Cabt; Zea mays; Asparagus officinalis; Cultural weed control; Manual weed control; Chemical control; Soil flora; Biomass; Biological activity in soil; Litter (plant); Microbial degradation Abstract: Five weed management strategies (sawdust mulching, repeated spring-summer cultivation, hand-hoeing and two herbicide treatments) were applied to each of two cropping systems (maize and asparagus) near Hamilton, New Zealand. Assessments of the response of microbial activity and biomass were made over an entire annual cropping cycle (from August 1990 to October 1991). Soil respiration and substrate-induced respiration (SIR) were strongly stimulated by sawdust mulch over the experimental period, probably as a result of the enhanced soil moisture status, but the other treatments did not exert any strong consistent effects. Use of the selective inhibitor technique demonstrated temporary stimulatory effects of mulching, cultivation and (occasionally) herbicide application on both the bacterial and fungal components of the soil system. The fumigation-incubation technique also suggested that mulching had stimulatory effects on microbial activity and biomass but only when control values were not subtracted. Most of the effects detected occurred in the top 5 cm of the mineral soil. Placement of litter-bags on the surface and at 10 cm depth indicated that litter decomposition was often most rapid in the sawdust-mulched plots, probably as a result of enhanced abiotic decomposition. Soil respiration and SIR were also greatest for the litter placed on the mulched plots, over most of the annual cropping cycle. We concluded that weed management strategies which influence soil moisture contents are likely to induce the most significant responses by the soil microflora. 168 NAL Call.

Large crabgrass, goosegrass, and carpetweed densities were higher in the no-tillage compared with the conventional-tillage treatment in at least 1 yr whereas common lambsquarters density was greater in the conventional-tillage treatment the last year of the experiment. Within the no- tillage treatment, rye or hairy vetch residue reduced total weed density an average of 78% compared to the treatment without cover crop when cover crop biomass exceeded 300 g m-2 and when residue covered more than 90% of the soil. Goosegrass, stinkgrass, and carpetweed densities were reduced by cover crop residue in at least 1 yr whereas large crabgrass was unaffected. Common lambsquarters density increased where rye was grown as a cover crop prior to conventional tillage. Despite differences in weed density among treatments, weed biomass was equivalent in all. 170 NAL Call. No.: 79.8 W412 A review of the ecology and control of thistles in Australia. Sindel, B.M.

Language: English Descriptors: Abutilon theophrasti; Setaria pumila; Weed biology; Population dynamics; Persistence; Conservation; Tillage; Seed banks; Cultural weed control; Threshold models; Simulation models; Emergence; Sexual reproduction; Survival Abstract: Effects of nonchemical weed control on weed and seedbank demography in ridge-tilled fields were simulated to examine long-term effects on weed population dynamics. Ridge tillage entails active seedbank management, including removal of much of the seedbank from the crop growth zone (ridge) to the interridge zone (furrow) at planting, and other seedbank manipulations. Dynamics of simulated yellow foxtail and velvetleaf populations were sharply sensitive to the rate of seed removal from the ridge. Variation in winter seed survival, ridge plant demography (emergence, survival, and seed production), and seed survival in the furrow after removal from the ridge alsohad strong effects on simulated dynamics. To prevent rapid population growth in a simulated corn-soybean rotation, very effective control of seedlings emerging with each crop was necessary to offset seed production from seedlings emerging after ridge rebuilding in corn years. Dynamics of both species were highly sensitive to cultivation efficiency. Effective "rescue" weed control must be available to prevent sharp increases in weed seedbanks during years when cultivation is ineffective. 182 NAL Call. No.: 79.9 C122 Soil solarization. Bell, C.E.

Language: English Descriptors: Alberta; Bromus tectorum; Winter; Crops; Brassica napus var. oleifera; Triticum aestivum; Secale cereale; Cultural weed control; Soil temperature; Soil water content; Effects; Emergence; Seedlings; Weed competition Abstract: Downy brome (Bromms tectorum L.) causes serious yield reductions in winter cereals in the western USA and Canada. Current control practices often are ineffective. A study was conducted under controlled-environment and field conditions to determine the effect of soil temperature (5-30 degrees C) and moisture (-O.03 to - 1.53 MPa) on the rate and total emergence of downy brome relative to that of winter cultivars of canola (Brassica napus L.), wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), and rye (Secale cereale L.) with the aim of developing improved cultural control measures. A strong temperature-moisture interaction was found for all species. Downy brome emergence was affected more by varying soil temperature and moisture conditions than rye or wheat but less than winter canola. Wheat and rye emergence was > 88 and 82%, respectively, across the entire range of soil temperature and moisture conditions. Canola emergence decreased to < 60% in cool, dry soils. Downy brome emergence remained > 70% for all soil temperature and moisture conditions, a sufficiently high percentage to pose a serious weed problem. Downy brome usually emerged more slowly than the crop species, but the additional time required to reach 50% emergence compared with that of the crop species was no more than 8 d. Results indicated that differences between downy brome and canola, wheat, and rye in their soil temperature and moisture requirements for optimal emergence are likely insufficient to allow development of cultural control practices to reduce the establishment of competitive stands of downy brome in these winter crops. 186 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Vegetation management; Weed control; Biological control; Phytotoxins; Allelopathy; Microbial pesticides; Research Abstract: During the past decade, considerable research efforts have been devoted towards non-chemical weed control. Some of these efforts have been directed towards the control of forest weed species. Non-chemical control of forest vegetation encompasses many approaches and techniques and only a few of them are discussed in this paper. Three major and promising research areas are identified: 1) allelopathy, (2) microbially produced phytotoxins, and 3) bio-control. Each of these weed management strategies is briefly presented and discussed using examples from the forestry literature. 187 NAL Call. No.: 275.29 W27Pn St. Johnswort--Hypericum perforatum L.

Language: English Descriptors: India; Parthenium hysterophorus; Biological control; Weed control; Insects; Mites; Pathogens; Mycotoxins; Parasitic plants; Natural enemies; Allelopathy; Surveys; Literature reviews Abstract: Biological control efforts on Parthenium hysterophorus L. (Asteraceae) in India have gained momentum after the limitations of other methods were realized. Native surveys revealed a large number of insects, but none of them was host specific. Although the introduced beetle Zygogramma bicolorata Pallister (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) has established at the sites of initial releases, its real impact on the weed and performance in different parts of the country need further evaluation. Fungal pathogens of the weed hold promise for classical as well as microherbicidal control. The use of parthenium phyllody MLO as a biocontrol agent requires establishment of host and vector specificity. Mycotoxins are a potential group of herbicides on which serious studies are yet to begin. Studies on control of the weed through interference and allelopathy by Cassia uniflora Mill.(= C. sericea Sw.) (Leguminosae) have produced promising results. Toxic leachates of C. uniflora and autotoxic principles of the weed deserve attention. integrated biocontrol strategies envisaged for wastelands using introduced insects and pathogens, allelopathic plants, and agroecosystems using native pathogens, mycotoxins and autotoxic principles, will help combat this apparently invincible weed. 190 NAL Call.

We therefore examined four flax (Linum usitatissimum) varieties and two wild Linum species in the presence of p-coumaric acid and four barley (Hordeum vulgare) varieties in the presence of p-coumaric acid, scopoletin and wild oat (Avena fatua) extract. Analysis of variance indicates significant interaction between variety and treatment for shoot and root growth for seedling flax, shoot growth for older flax, and root growth for seedling barley. These differences in tolerance between varieties could be exploited to develop varieties with greater tolerances to the allelochemicals produced by weeds or in crop residues and therefore potentially more tolerant of the presence of weeds. 209 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Arizona; Mexico; Larrea tridentata; Brush control; Deserts; Tebuthiuron; Manual weed control; Tillage; Grasses; Plant density; Botanical composition; Shrubs; Canopy; Desert plants; Discing Abstract: Changes in herbaceous plant density and canopy cover of creosotebush (Larrea tridentata Sesse & Moc. ex DC) and associated shrubs following brush control treatments were measured in Sonoran and Chihuahuan Desert communities. Treatments were applied in 2 successive years st the Santa Rita Experimental range, Arizona, and 3 locations in Chihuahua, Mexico. Across all locations and years 1.5 kg/ha tebuthiuron (N-[5-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl]- N,N'-dimethylurea) > 1.0 kg/ha tebuthiuron= disking = disking with furrowing >2-way railing >0.5 kg/ha tebuthiuron > land imprinting in reducing canopy cover of creosotebush and associated shrubs. At the Santa Rita Experimental Range annual precipitation was above long-term mean in 1982, 1983, 1984, and 1985; and grass density increased on all treated and untreated plots. Annual precipitation was below long-term mean during 1986 and 1987 and grass density decreased on both treated and untreated plots but did not decrease to pre- treatment densities. Forb densities were less than 3 plants/m2 throughout the study, except in 1987 when Russian thistle (Salsola iberica Sennen & Pau) increased on all plots. At the Chihuahuan locations, grass densities usually increased during the first year of the study, but very low precipitation throughout the study caused subsequent reductions in grass and forb densities. In dry years brush control treatments did not increase herbaceous plant density. 210 NAL Call. No.: 79.9 C122 Vegetation management in table grapes. Jehle, M.

Language: English Descriptors: Texas; Brush control; Rangelands; Acacia berlandieri; Acacia rigidula; Aloysia lycioides; Habitats; Wildlife; Odocoileus Virginianus; Discing; Vegetation management Abstract: Brush management for improving wildlife habitat in South Texas is important because of the economic value of wildlife. We determined vegetation responses to (1) roller chopping of guajillo (Acacia berlandieri Benth.)-blackbrush acacia (A. rigidula Benth.)-dominated rangeland and (2) heavy discing of whitebrush (Aloysia lycioides Cham.)-dominated rangeland to improve white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus Raf.) habitat. Canopy cover of vegetation was estimated seasonally during August 1988 to April 1990. Both treatments reduced brush canopy cover, but herbaceous response depended on rainfall. Mean herbaceous cover was 65 and 136% higher on roller chopped sites than on untreated sites when averaged across all sampling dates. Heavy discing reduced relative canopy cover of whitebrush but increased cover of spiny hackberry (Celtis pallida Torr.), an important browse species. Forb species richness was higher on roller chopped and disced sites than on untreated sites, but species diversity was similar. Because herbaceous response to brush removal may depend on rainfall, other factors such as effects on browse availability and nutritional quality may need to be considered when planning brush management strategies to improve white- tailed deer habitat. 212 NAL Call.

Rebel II. The major objective of this study was to identify cultural methods of excluding weed development in tall fescue. Dithiopyr [3,5- pyridinedicarbothioic acid, 2-(difluoromethyl)-4-(2- methylpropyl)-6-(trifluoromethyl)-S ,S-dimeth- ylester] and pendimethalin [N-(1-ethylpropyl)-3, 4-dimethyl-2,6- dinitrobenzenamine] were applied preemergence for smooth crabgrass [Digitaria ischaemum (Schreber) Schreber ex Muhlenb.] control, and fenoxaprop [(+/-)-2-[4-[(6-chloro-2- benzoxazolyl)oxy]- phenoxy]propanoic acid] was applied postemergence for crabgrass control. Rates of dithiopyr and pendimethalin were reduced or eliminated on selected plots in the last 2 yr of the study to determine if reduced herbicide inputs would continue to provide effective crabgrass control. Tall fescue mowed at 8.8 cm resisted smooth crabgrass invasion, exhibited best visual summer turf quality in 1990 and 1991, had poorest winter turf quality, and had highest white clover (Trifolium repens L.) populations. Other environmental factors and lower mowing height (3.2 or 5.5 cm) reduced summer turf quality in 1990 and 1991. High N improved fall and winter turf quality, but not summer quality. Nonherbicide-treated plots receiving high N had less smooth crabgrass than low N plots, but high N provided no additional crabgrass reduction in herbicide-treated plots. High mowing (8.8 cm) was the best cultural management strategy for reducing smooth crabgrass encroachment and maintaining tall fescue cover. Results indicated that smooth crabgrass control with label use rates of herbicides was warranted when mowing tall fescue at 3.2 or 5.5 cm. 231 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Zea mays; Phaseolus vulgaris; Beta vulgaris; Weed biology; Weed control; Chemical control; Herbicides; Seed banks; Plowing; No-tillage; Conservation tillage; Population dynamics; Cropping systems; Models Abstract: Changes in the weed seedbank due to crop production practices are an important determinant of subsequent weed problems. Research was conducted to evaluate effects of primary tillage (moldboard plowing and chisel plowing), secondary tillage (row cultivation), and herbicides on weed species changes in the soil seedbank in three irrigated row crop rotational sequences over a 3-yr period. The cropping sequences consisted of continuous corn for 3 yr, continuous pinto beans for 3 yr, or sugarbeets for 2 yr followed by corn in the third year. Cropping sequence was the most dominant factor influencing species composition in the seedbank. This was partly due to herbicide use in each cropping sequence producing a shift in the weed seedbank in favor of species less susceptible to applied herbicides. A comparison between moldboard and chisel plowing indicated that weed seed of predominant species were more prevalent near the soil surface after chisel plowing. The number of predominant annual weed seed over the 3-yr period increased more rapidly in the seedbank after chisel plowing compared to moldboard plowing unless effective weed control could be maintained to produce a decline in seedbank number. In this case, seedbank decline was generally more rapid after moldboard plowing. Row cultivation generally reduced seedbanks of most species compared to uncultivated plots in the pinto bean and sugarbeet sequences. A simple model was developed to validate the observation that rate of change in the weed seedbank is influenced by type of tillage and weed control effectiveness. 237 NAL Call.
