Abstract
Summary: Buthidazole (3‐[5‐(1,1‐dimethylethyl)‐1,3.4‐thiadiazol‐2‐yl]‐4‐hydroxy‐l‐methyl‐2‐imidazolidinone) at concentrations of 10 −6 ‐10 −4 M did not affect germination of corn (Zea mays L. ,‘Pioneer 3780’), redroot pigweed (Amaranlhus retroflexus L.), alfalfa (Medicago saliva L., ‘Vernal’), and quackgrass (Agropyron repens (L.) Beauv.) seeds. Stressing the seeds obtained from mature corn plants treated either pre‐emergence or pre‐ plant incorporated with buthidazole at several rates by accelerated ageing and cold treatments further indicated that this herbicide did not affect germination. Total photosynthesis and dark respiration of corn plants 12 days after pre‐emergence application and of redroot pigweed, alfalfa, and quackgrass plants after postemergence application of buthidazole at several rates were measured with an infrared CO 2 analyser. The results suggested that buthidazole was a rapid inhibitor of photosynthesis of the sensitive redroot pigweed and quackgrass plants, with less effect on corn and alfalfa. Buthidazole did not affect respiration of the examined species except for a transitory increase in corn and alfalfa 12 days after pre‐emergence or 4 h after postemergence treatment with buthidazole at 0.56 or 1.12 and 2.24 kg/ha, respectively. A long‐term inhibition of quackgrass respiration 96 h after treatment with buthidazole at 1.12 and 224 kg/ha was also evident.
