The effect of several herbicides was evaluated on the growth of soursop seedlings planted in polyethylene nursery bag. The trial was conducted from February to June of 1988. Two assays were conducted: in the first one, nine herbicides were applied in pre-emergence to the weeds and with two controls, one unweeded and the other one weeded weekly. The second trial included three systemic herbicides, applied in post-emergence to the weeds and the soursop, plus an unweeded control. The results show that all the herbicides applied in pre-emergence produced a good control of broad-leaf and gramineous weeds, although causing different degrees of toxicity to the soursop. The seedlings recovered gradually, yet somewhat sooner in the treatments with oxadiazon. The granulated oxyfluorfen, applied post-emergence showed a good weed control and was selective to the soursop. The fenoxaprop and haloxyfop controlled only gramineous weeds, while bentazon controlled only broadleaf weeds, but all three were selective to the soursop. (01669)

Bridgemohan, P. Advances in weed management in tropical agriculture in the 20th century. 14 p.

Weed science in the last half century has essentially been the history of herbicides. These effective and relatively inexpensive chemical technologies have revolutionized agriculture and tropical crop production. Significant yield reductions due to weed interference and insect pest which used weeds as alternative host previously reported were now averted. This has not been without its negative effects on ground water contamination, and development of weed resistance and biotypes in fragile ecosystem. The 'herbicide dependency syndrome' marginalized cultural practices such as intercropping and crop rotation. The trend in tropical research has been to investigate new techniques and advances in weed physiology and molecular biology, and to develop weed control strategies in an integrated weed management (IWM)approach. This paper reviews current strategies in tropical weed management based on the critical period of competition, economic threshold levels, weed seed bank dynamics and stimulants, mycoherbicides, allelopathy, naturally-occurring herbicides, and crop manipulation in IWM systems. It further indicates their prospects for the 21st century. (05954)

Start land preparation early, and avoid excessive weed growth between crops. Gramoxone (paraquat) and Roundup (glyphosate)can be used pre-planting as a part of land preparation, if weeds are present. Avoid cultivating after these have been used: it is preferable to prepare the land, allow weeds to emerge, and then spray. These two herbicides can also be used as shielded, directed, or spot applications. (05396)

Parthenium hysterophorus L. is a notorious weed that has caused more concern than any other weed in the recent past, in India, to both the common man and the weed scientist. The common man abhors any contact with parthenium as it is a proven health hazard to sensitized humans and cattle. To the weed scientist, parthenium has proved a challenge because conventional methods have failed to suppress its growth and prevent its unchecked spread. (02257)

All plants are useful and beneficial in some way but some plants are called weeds because they are growing in situations that do not serve man's needs. They can cause losses to farmers by increasing the cost of growing crops or harvesting and they reduce the yield and quality of cultivated crops. Weeds are more of a problem in upland rice (Oryza sativa L.) than in lowland rice because in the latter weeds can be controlled to some extent by submergence, provided that there is good control of irrigation water. The most significant management practice which could have the greatest impact on upland rice yields is improved weed control. Grasses are predominant and still remain a serious problem in upland rice culture. Their effects on upland rice and possible control measures are discussed in this chapter. (03248)

This study was conducted to characterise the weed flora in a transplanted rice (Oryza sativa L.) mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] rotation, determine the carry over effect of weeding treatments in transplanted rice on the weeds and crop yield of mungbean, and examine the interaction between weeding treatments in the first crop and tillage treatments in the second crop. There was a dramatic change in the weed flora from transplanted rice to mungbean. Monochoria vaginalis (Burm.f.) Presl and Cyperus difformis L. were the dominant weed species in transplanted rice. In the following mungbean crop, Echinochloa colona (L.) Link dominated. Hand weeding in rice generally resulted in reduced weed weight in the following mungbean crop, but it did not affect mungbean yield. Weeding treatments in rice did not interact with tillage treatments in mungbean with respect to weed weight, weed density, and yield. Rototilling and hand weeding in mungbean resulted in yield increases. (08162)

Cyperus rotundus, Cynodon dactylon, Eclipta alba, Dactyloctenium aegyptium, Fimbristylis spp., Echinochloa colonum, Rangia repens and Physalis minima were the major weeds. Effect of herbicides was not consistent. During wet year herbicide effect was well pronounced. Combinations of herbicides and hand weeding proved better than herbicides alone. Among the combinations, Butachlor+hand weeding pendimenthalin + hand weeding combinations caused higher increase in grain yield as compared to other treatments. (03247)

In field studies conducted during 1991 and 1992, propanil-resistant barnyard grass was not controlled by emulsifiable or dry-flowable formulations of propanil. However, an emulsifiable formulation was more active than a dry-flowable formulation on resistant barnyard grass, especially with high rates of 7 or 10 lb/acre, applied sequentially. Arrosolo did not control resistant barnyard grass any better than did propanil. However, several other herbicide treatment effectively controlled resistant barnyard grass. Facet, registered for use in rice in 1993, controlled propanil-resistant barnyard grass when applied alone delayed preemergence or early postemegence or applied tank mixed with propanil, Bolero, Prowl or Arrosolo early postemergence. Tank mixture treatments of propanil and Bolero or Prowl controlled resistant barnyard grass when applied early postemergence. Likewise, Arrosolo tank mixed with Bolero or Prowl was effective on resistant barnyard grass. Bolero applied delayed preemergence controlled resistant barnyard grass. Ordram granules applied after flooding following earlier treatments of propanil controlled resistant barnyard grass, but Ordram granules applied into the flood without preflood propanil failed to control resistant barnyard grass.

Two field experiments on weed control in soybeans were carried out at BIOTROP, Bogor Indonesia from February to June 1989. The critical period for weed control was found to be between 20-40 days after planting of soybean (c.v. Wilis) grown at a planting distance of 40 x 10 cm. It did not coincide with the fastest growth in terms of trifoliate leaf number. Further studies were suggested to understand the physiological growth of soybean related to weed control. Pendimethalin at 660-1320 g a.e./ha applied one day after sowing did not cause any phytotoxic effect to soybean and had good weed control performance. (01239)

Weidemann, G.J.; Tebeest, D.O. 1990. Biology of host range testing for biocontrol of weeds. WEED TECHNOLOGY (USA) v. 4(3) p. 465-470.

The determination of host range is an important component in developing a plant pathogen for use as a bioherbicide. The safety of non-target economic and wild plants must be assured before experimental release and commercial use. In contrast to other methods of weed control, the genetic variability and genetic stability of both the weed and the biological control agent must be considered. Schemes to determine host range generally assume a close phylogenetic relationship between the weed host and its co-evolved pathogens. Therefore, testing generally is based on inoculation of genetically related plant species and progresses to more distantly related species until the host range is circumscribed. Several potential weaknesses in these schemes will be illustrated with examples using specific biological control agents. Future tests must place greater emphasis on testing taxa representing the full range of genetic diversity within the biogeographic area of intended use. (01439)
