Interactions Among Western Corn Rootworm (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), Yellow Foxtail, And Corn, M. M. Ellsbury, K. R. Banken, S. A. Clay, F. Forcella Jun 2005

Interactions Among Western Corn Rootworm (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), Yellow Foxtail, And Corn, M. M. Ellsbury, K. R. Banken, S. A. Clay, F. Forcella

Agronomy, Horticulture and Plant Science Faculty Publications

Field studies at sites with two contrasting soil types investigated effects from the presence of yellow foxtail [Setaria pumila (Poir.) Roem. and Schult.], established in bands parallel to corn rows, on western corn rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte) survival, corn root injury, lodging, biomass production, and yield. Results suggested that the presence of foxtail as an alternate host inßuenced the degree and progression of corn rootworm damage and adult emergence in a givenlocality. Rootworm adults emergedlater from foxtail band areas and had smaller head capsule size than did individuals from areas without foxtail, consistent with earlier Þndings that foxtail in …

The Fate If 2, 4-D In Intact Soybean (Glycine Mix), Laura Hummel, Anthony Mayer Jan 2005

The Fate If 2, 4-D In Intact Soybean (Glycine Mix), Laura Hummel, Anthony Mayer

The Journal of Undergraduate Research

About 479,000 pounds of 2,4-D (2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid) was applied to South Dakota's crops in 2000. 2,4-D can injure or reduce yield of soybean (Glycine max) if deposited on growing plants. This study determined uptake, translocation, and metabolism of ring-labeled-2,4-D in soybean at the third trifoliate (V3) stage of growth. Plants were harvested and partitioned into four parts from 1 hr (HAT)to 10 d (DAT) after treatment. Thin layer chromatography techniques were used to determine if remaining in the tissue was parent chemical or metabolite. 2,4-D uptake ranged from 39% at 1 HAT to 74% 6 DAT.By 10 DAT, translocated …
