Mitigating Rice Injury Caused By Florpyrauxifen-Benzyl And Optimizing Florpyrauxifen-Benzyl Rate And Timing For Use In Furrow-Irrigated Rice, James Winston Beesinger
Mitigating Rice Injury Caused By Florpyrauxifen-Benzyl And Optimizing Florpyrauxifen-Benzyl Rate And Timing For Use In Furrow-Irrigated Rice, James Winston Beesinger
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Florpyrauxifen-benzyl (synthetic auxin, WSSA Group 4) is a postemergence, broad-spectrum herbicide labeled for use in Mid-South rice (Oryza sativa L.) production. Introduction of florpyrauxifen-benzyl to Arkansas rice production led to observations of varying levels of injury caused by the herbicide across cultivars and environments. Findings from previous research indicated hybrid long-grain rice and medium-grain rice were more susceptible to florpyrauxifen-benzyl and hypotheses were formed using this research regarding the impact of environmental conditions on the amount of injury observed. Concerns of yield loss, delay in maturity and loss of groundcover as well as questions regarding the ability of florpyrauxifen-benzyl to …
Mitigating The Risk For Glufosinate Resistance, Christopher John Meyer
Mitigating The Risk For Glufosinate Resistance, Christopher John Meyer
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
While glufosinate-resistant weeds have not yet been identified in U.S. row crops, rapid evolution of glyphosate-resistance, and resulting cost to U.S. farmers, demonstrates the need to responsibly steward the limited number of herbicides available in agricultural systems. Field and laboratory experiments were conducted to: 1) Identify herbicide interactions that can occur in Enlist™ and Roundup Ready® Xtend® systems; 2) Identify herbicide interactions that occur when glufosinate is mixed with fomesafen, clethodim, and glyphosate; 3) Determine the optimum rate structure and application timings when multiple POST applications of glufosinate are applied to LibertyLink soybean; 4) Use 14C techniques to determine why …
Weed Control And Management For Vegetable Soybeans In Arkansas, Seth Bernard Abugho
Weed Control And Management For Vegetable Soybeans In Arkansas, Seth Bernard Abugho
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Vegetable soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.], known as edamame, needs weed management tools. Releasing locally adapted edamame soybean varieties and registering herbicides are necessary for successful production and expanding the edamame industry. This research aimed to 1) identify herbicides labeled for grain soybean for potential use on edamame; 2) evaluate differential tolerance of edamame soybean varieties to selected grain soybean herbicides; and 3) identify a feasible edamame-based crop rotation system. For objective 1, 26 herbicide treatments were tested on AVS-4002 edamame including preplant (PPL), preemergence (PRE) and postemergence (POST) herbicides labeled for grain soybean. Preplant herbicides caused 9 to 28% …
Evaluation Of Very-Long-Chain Fatty Acid-Inhibiting Herbicides In Arkansas Rice Production, John Ansley Godwin
Evaluation Of Very-Long-Chain Fatty Acid-Inhibiting Herbicides In Arkansas Rice Production, John Ansley Godwin
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Because of the evolution of herbicide-resistant weeds, such as barnyardgrass and red rice in rice, there is a need for alternative herbicide sites of action. Very-long-chain fatty acid (VLCFA)-inhibiting herbicides are not labeled for use in U.S. rice production; however, this site of action (SOA) has been used with success in Asian rice. The VLCFA-inhibiting herbicides pethoxamid, pyroxasulfone, acetochlor, and S-metolachlor were evaluated for rice tolerance and control of commonly problematic weeds in Arkansas rice at various rates and application timings. Pyroxasulfone and S-metolachlor were deemed unfit for use in rice production because of negative effects on rice visual injury, …
