The Influence Of Atrazine (2-Chloro-4-(Ethylamino)-6-(Isopropylamino-S-Triazine) On The Severity Of Gibberella Zeae-Induced Seedling Blight Of Corn, Louis A. Heaton
Masters Theses
Three corn inbreds were grown in artificially inoculated, steamed greenhouse soil amended with atrazine (2-chloro-4-(ethylamino)-6-(isopropylamino)-s-triazine) to determine the herbicide's effect on the severity of Gibberella zeae (Schwabe) Petch-induced seedling blight. Corn inbreds used were Gibberella-resistant (FR632), Gibberella-intermediate (FRMo17), and Gibberella-susceptible (C123HT). Soils were amended with atrazine at rates of 2, 15, and 30 ppm.
Susceptible inbred seedlings showed no response to the herbicide with symptims equally severe in controls and all 3 concentrations of atrazine. Intermediate inbred seedlings grown in all atrazine amended soils showed significantly more severe disease symptoms than controls. Soil amended with …
