Other claims from this paper (15)
- Intervention effect Postemergence diclofop-methyl at 0.84 to 1.68 kg/ha controlled 65 to 87% of wild oat.
- Intervention effect Diclofop-methyl did not injure flax.
- Intervention effect Diclofop-methyl did not injure Brassica campestris rapeseed.
- Intervention effect Diclofop-methyl did not injure B. napus rapeseed.
- Intervention effect Adding adjuvants at 0.5% (v/v) improved wild oat control.
- Intervention effect Herbicide application increased flax oil content, iodine number and linolenic acid concentration.
- Intervention effect Herbicide application increased rapeseed oil content.
- Intervention effect Herbicide application left flax meal protein content unaffected.
- Intervention effect Herbicide application left rapeseed meal protein content unaffected.
- Intervention effect Under weed-free greenhouse conditions, 0.84 kg/ha herbicide did not affect flax seed and oil composition.
- Intervention effect Under weed-free greenhouse conditions, 1.12 kg/ha herbicide did not affect flax seed and oil composition.
- Intervention effect At 1.68 kg/ha, herbicide decreased flax protein content under weed-free greenhouse conditions.
- Intervention effect At 1.68 kg/ha, herbicide slightly increased flax oil content under weed-free greenhouse conditions.
- Intervention effect At 1.68 kg/ha, herbicide had no significant effect on flax iodine number relative to untreated plants under weed-free greenhouse conditions.
- Mechanism The change in flax seed and oil quality appears related to herbicide-mediated reduction of weed competition.
