Euphorbia heterophylla:a Review of Distribution, Importance and Control

A. K. Wilson Tropical Pest Management 1981. doi:10.1080/09670878109414169

Other claims from this paper (13)

Observation Euphorbia heterophylla is widespread in the tropics.
Observation It is a major weed in six tropical countries.
Observation It is an important weed in 22 tropical countries.
Observation It is present in a further 37 countries.
Mechanism The weed causes serious crop yield and quality loss through rapid growth and canopy formation.
Mechanism Dormancy supports persistence of soil seed reservoirs.
Association Light and temperature affect germination.
Intervention effect Pre-emergence herbicides do not control the weed for a whole growing season.
Association Larger weeds are harder to control with post-emergence herbicides.
Intervention effect Phenoxy-type herbicides generally give effective control.
Intervention effect Acetanilides and anilines give poor control.
Intervention effect Some herbicide mixtures suppress the weed long enough for crop establishment and limit yield loss.
Intervention effect A season-long herbicide sequence has provided the best control.

Relation Between Phosphorus and Micronutrients in Plants

Other claims from this paper (6)

Intervention effect High phosphorus may restrict molybdenum movement in some plants.
Intervention effect High phosphorus may restrict iron movement in some plants.
Mechanism The authors suggest reactions outside the active root contribute to phosphorus-induced deficiency.
