Title
Effect of Moisture Stress on Wild Oat (Avena fatua) Response to Diclofop
William C. Akey; Ian N. Morrison Weed Science 1983. doi:10.1017/s0043174500068922
Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Increasing soil moisture from 10 to 20% after spraying significantly reduced diclofop activity on wild oat.
- Intervention effect Keeping soil moisture at 10% after spraying further reduced herbicide activity.
- Intervention effect Wild oat at 20% soil moisture had 22% greater leaf area than plants at 10%.
- Intervention effect Diclofop penetration did not differ significantly between wild oat grown at 20 and 10% soil moisture at 12, 24 or 48 hours.
- Intervention effect Stressed and unstressed wild oat did not differ significantly in diclofop metabolism.
- Intervention effect Low soil moisture before treatment decreased radiolabeled herbicide recovery in the apex, third leaf and tillers.
- Mechanism Decreased herbicide recovery in growing tissues may partially explain reduced activity under moisture stress.
