Quick Bibliography Series Bibliographies in the Quick Bibliography Series of the
National Agricultural Library, are intended primarily for
current awareness, and as the title of the series implies, are
not indepth exhaustive bibliographies on any given subject.
However, the citations are a substantial resource for recent
investigations on a given topic. They also serve the purpose
of bringing the literature of agriculture to the interested
user who, in many cases, could not access it by any other
means. The bibliographies are derived from computerized on-
line searches of the AGRICOLA data base. Timeliness of topic
and evidence of extensive interest are the selection criteria.
The author/searcher determines the purpose, length, and search
strategy of the Quick Bibliography. Information regarding
these is available upon request from the author/searcher.
Copies of this bibliography may be made or used for
distribution without prior approval. The inclusion or
omission of a particular publication or citation may not be

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.

Abstract: The primary objective of this research was to
determine if soil extracts could be used directly in bioassays
for the detection of allelopathic activity. 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

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.

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.

Abstract: Cotton yield response was evaluated in 1987, 1988,
and 1989 when weeds were managed with preemergence fluometuron
[none (0%), band (50%), or broadcast (100%) surface coverage],
cultivation (none, one, two, or three times), and postdirected
fluometuron + MSMA. 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.

Abstract: Striga [Striga hermonthica (Del.) 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.

Abstract: A change from conventional tillage to a
conservation tillage system can lead to shifts in weed species
composition. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Abstract: The effect of sequential hexane, ethyl acetate, and
aqueous methanol extracts of 'Regal' sweetpotato periderm on
seed germination of sweetpotato, proso millet, and seven weed
species was studied. 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.

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.

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.

Abstract: Euphorbia esula (leafy spurge) suspension culture
cell bioassays were used to determine whether sucrose
accumulation enhanced the glucosylation (detoxification) of
hydroquinone in this noxious weed. 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.

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.

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.

strategies were evaluated for potential use by small acreage

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Abstract: Reduced-tillage practices have allowed leafy spurge
to infest cropland. 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.

Abstract: The importance of risk in a farmer's decision to
use herbicides should not be forgotten. 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

was more important in influencing a farmer to choose

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.

Abstract: Greenhouse and field experiments were performed to
investigate diclofop rate and mowing height interactions on
goosegrass control and 'Tifgreen' and 'Tifdwarf' bermudagrass
tolerance. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Abstract: Nutrient status of young pecan [Carya illinoensis
(Wangenh.) 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.

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.

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.

Abstract: Honey mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa Torr. var.
glandulosa populations continue to expand and become more
dense, even on areas once "successfully" treated either with
herbicides or by bulldozing in southern New Mexico. 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.

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.

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.

Abstract: Total weed density increased after 1 yr of no-
tillage and after 2 yr of conventional tillage in a 4-yr
experiment with repeated assignment of the same treatment to
the same plots. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Abstract: A possible method of manipulating allelopathy would
be to develop crop varieties showing an increased tolerance to
allelopathic chemicals. 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.

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.

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.

Abstract: A 3-yr field study was conducted to determine the
influence of N level (98 and 196 kg ha-1 yr-1), mowing height
(3.2, 5.5, and 8.8 cm), and three herbicides on weed
encroachment and overall quality of tall fescue Festuca
arundinacea Schreb. cv. 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.

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.
