The application of a granular formulation of sodium azide (Smite 8G), to pine nursery beds at rates of 0, 22.4, 67.2 and 134.5 kg active ingredient ha?1 under water seal or plastic seal, was compared over a 1-year period with methyl bromide, applied at a rate of 650 kg ha?1, to determine the effects of soil bacterial populations, soil enzymic activities, development of mycorrhizal roots, weed population and incidence of root diseases. Bacterial populations at 24 days after treatment had increased in proportion to the amount of sodium azide added; however, highest numbers of bacteria were recorded from the methyl bromide-treated plot. At the last sampling date no significant differences were observed in bacterial populations among treatments. Neither sodium azide nor methyl bromide caused permanent changes in soil enzymic activities or adversely affected mycorrhizal root development on pine seedlings. Sodium azide at 134.5 kg ha?1 and methyl bromide both significantly decreased the number of Cyperus spp. plants in plots; however, the number of pine seedlings exhibiting a root disease was highest in plots receiving these treatments. 相似文献

The effects of several herbicides used in pome fruit orchards on the germination of spores and growth of mycelia of Botrytis cinerea, Mucor piriformis and Penicillium expansum in vitro and the survival of propagules of these fungi in soil were studied. Diuron in agar at 4–128 μg ml?1 reduced germination of spores of B. cinerea and M. piriformis, and 2,4-D and paraquat at 32 μg ml?1 similarly affected B. cinerea and P. expansum. Several herbicides at 128 μg ml?1 in agar reduced growth of B. cinerea and M. piriformis but were ineffective against P. expansum. Propagule survival levels of the three fungi generally were lower in both autoclaved and non-autoclaved soil amended with herbicides than in non-amended soil. This effect was greatest in non-autoclaved soil, suggesting involvement of microbial antagonists. The most effective herbicides for reduction of fungal propagules in soil were 2,4-D, diuron, and paraquat. 相似文献

In Calabria (southern Italy), control of crown and root rot of capsicum caused by Phytophthora capsici has relied primarily on soil drenches of metalaxyl. However, severe outbreaks occur every year in glasshouse crops, in which the practice of using plastic mulch and furrow irrigation favours the disease. Single‐hypha isolates of P. capsici collected in Calabria in 1992/1998 were tested in vitro for their level of sensitivity to metalaxyl. Isolates of other species of Phytophthora were used as reference. Fungicide sensitivity was determined by plating mycelial plugs onto potato dextrose agar amended with metalaxyl, at final concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 1000μg mL?1 a.s. Inhibition of radial growth (%) was determined when colonies on unamended medium had covered approximately two‐thirds of the plate. The ED50 values for inhibition of mycelial growth of P. capsici isolates ranged from 1.41 to44.6μg mL?1 a.s. More than 80% of the P. capsici isolates from commercial plastic‐house crops in Calabria showed a moderate level of resistance as they were inhibited less than 60% at 5 μg mL?1 but more than 60% at 100μg mL?1 相似文献

The effects of two herbicides, glyphosate (as a 359 g litre?1 SL) and hexazinone (as a 50gkg?1 granule) on soil microbial population, carbon dioxide evolution, and in-vitro growth of five species of ectomycorrhizal fungi were investigated. Glyphosate at 0–54 and 3.23 kg a.i. ha?1 and hexazinone at 1. 2 and 8 kg a.i. ha?1 did not reduce soil microbial population or carbon dioxide evolution in the long term (6 months). However, there was a significant short-term (2 months) effect of glyphosate on both fungal and bacterial counts at the 0.54 kg ha?1 treatment. In in-vitro tests, Cenococcum graniforme. Hebeloma crustuliniforme and Laccaria laccata were more susceptible to both herbicides than was Suillus tomentosus. which was, in turn, more susceptible than Paxillus involutus. The growth of all five ectomycorrhizal fungi was significantly reduced when subjected to concentrations above 50 μl formulation litre?1 (glyphosate) or 50 μg formulation litre?1 (hexazinone). 相似文献

Field studies were conducted over a 4-year period to determine whether weed emergence could be increased by incorporating germination stimulants into the soil. Sodium azide (4.5–36 kg azide ha?1), ammonium nitrate (34–67 kg nitrate ha?1), and butylate (0.2–0.4 kg ai ha?1) were used. Sodium azide was the most consistent stimulant of indigenous weed emergence over all experiments and seasons, but there was great variability in its effects and the highest application rate sometimes inhibited emergence. Consistent stimulation of broad-leaf weed emergence occurred following September applications of 4–5 kg azide ha?1 of sodium azide. Sodium azide at 4.5 kg azide ha?1 increased grass plus broad-leaf weed emergence 43% based on summer applications in three growing seasons. No general recommendation for stimulating the emergence of weeds can be made because stimulation was a function of rate of application, season of the year, and post-treatment environment. Influence de traitments chimiques sur la levée des mauvaises herbes Des études portant sur une durée de quatre ans ont été conduites afin de déterminer si l'incorporation dans le sol de stimulants de germination pouvait augmenter la levée des mauvaises herbes. Les produits essayés ont été le nitrure de sodium (4, 5–36 kg de nitrure ha?1), le nitrate d'ammonium (34–67 kg nitrate ha?1), et le butylate (0, 2–0, 4 kg ma ha?1). C'est avec le nitrure de sodium que la stimulation de la levée des graines en place a été observée le plus régulièrement, au cours de plusieurs expériences effectuées en différentes saisons; cependant, une grande variabilité de l'effet de ce produit a été notée, et les doses d'application les plus élevées ont parfois inhibé les levées. Appliqué en septembre à la dose de 4, 5 kg nitrure ha?1, le nitrure de sodium stimule d'une manière régulière la levée des dicotylédones. Des traitements d'été opérés durant trois années ont montré qu'à cette dose, il augmente la levée des mono et des dicotylédones de 43%. Il n'est cependant pas possible de donner des recommandations générales pour la stimulation des levées de mauvaises herbes, car cette stimulation dépend de la dose appliquée, de la saison pendant laquelle elle est opérée, et des conditions qui régnent après le traitement. Chemische Beeinflussung des Auflaufens von Unkräutern In einer über vier Jahre laufenden Feldstudie wurde untersucht, ob durch das Einarbeiten von Keimungsstimulatoren das Auflaufen von Unkräutern beschleunigt werden kann. Zu die-sem Zweck wurden Natriumazid (4, 5–36 kg azid ha?1), Ammoniumnitrat (34–67 kg nitrat ha?1) und Butylat (0, 2–0, 4 kg ai ha?1) verwendet. Natriumazid war in allen Versuchen das am regelmässigsten wirksame Auflaufstimulans für die an den verschiedenen Standorten vorkommenden Unkräuter, wobei die höchsten Applikationsraten hin und wieder das Auflaufen hemmten. Applikationen von 4, 5 kg azid ha?1 Natriumazid im September erhöhten die Auflaufrate regelmässig; sie wurde in drei Vegetations-perioden bei grasartigen und breitblättrigen Unkräutern um 43%, vergleichen mit den Sommerapplikationen, gesteigert. Es kann keine all-gemein gültige Anwendungsempfehlung gegeben werden, da der Stimulationseffekt stark von Dosierung, Jahreszeit und den Umweltsbedingungen nach der Applikation abhängt. 相似文献

A technique is described for testing isolates of Septoria tritici from winter wheat for resistance to benzimidazole fungicides. Secondary spores from 23 isolates were tested on Czapek Dox V-8 agar amended with benomyl at 1–10 μg ml. Twenty-one isolates were recovered from eight crops in England in 1984 and two (PBI isolates) were obtained in 1973. Thirteen isolates, including both PBI isolates, were sensitive to benomyl at 1 μg ml?1 and nine were resistant at 10 μg ml?1. The remaining isolate had a low proportion (1:3.7 x 104) of resistant spores. The minimum inhibitory concentration for sensitive isolates was 0.2–0.4 μg ml 1 benomyl and for resistant isolates was more than 1000 μg ml 1. Benomyl-resistant isolates were cross-resistant to carbendazim, thiabendazole and thiophanate-methyl, but not to 12 other fungicides with different modes of action. The implications of these findings are discussed. 相似文献

Field isolates of Botrytis cinerea with moderate levels of resistance to dicarboximide fungicides (ED50 1.0–4.9 μg ml?1) and to dicloran were obtained from glasshouses where vinclozolin and iprodione failed to control grey mould. From sensitive and moderatcly-resistant cultures, laboratory isolates were selected on dicarboximide-amended medium, which were highly resistant to these fungicides (ED50 125->3000 μg ml?1). Conidia of all the resistant isolates germinated well on media amended with 100 μg ml?1 of the dicarboximides vinclozolin, iprodione, procymidone and myclozolin and with 5 μg ml?1 of metomeclan. However, the spores of the moderately resistant isolates did not germinate on 100 μg ml?1 metomeclan while the spores of the highly resistant isolates germinated well. Using media with 100 μg ml?1 of metomeclan to distinguish between the two phenotypes, no highly resistant strain was detected among 312 resistant samples from five cucumber glasshouses with a high frequency of moderately resistant strains. From air-borne inoculum of five glasshouses with 100% resistant populations, 1604 colonies were recovered on vinclozolin-amended (100 μg ml?1) medium and none on metomeclan-amended (100 μg ml?1) medium. It is concluded that strains of B. cinerea highly resistant to dicarboximides are absent from field populations. 相似文献

No registered fungicide controls Mucor piriformis, a cause of severe postharvest storage rot in pears, but the experimental fungicide RH 886 (active ingredients: 77% 5-chloro-2-methylisothiazol-3-(2H)-one and 23% 2-methylisothiazol-3-(2H)-one) has an ED50 of 23.1 μg ml?1 in 5 min exposure for germination of sporangiospores of M. piriformis and an ED50 of 9.9 μg ml?1 for mycelial growth. Mixing RH 886 into infested, amended soil at 8 mg g?1 soil or mixing copper sulfate into soil at 1 mg g?1 soil prevented sporulation of M. piriformis. Application of RH 886 to pear fruits prior to inoculation, or immersion of fruits in solutions of RH 886 containing sporangiospores of M. piriformis significantly reduced fruit infection. 相似文献

Seventy-nine single-spore isolates of Fusarium udum, the causal agent of wilt disease of pigeonpea, from Kenya, India and Malawi were characterized according to their cultural characteristics, pathogenicity and vegetative compatibility group (VCG). The isolates exhibited high variation in pathogenicity on a wilt-susceptible pigeonpea variety, and in mycelial growth and sporulation on potato dextrose agar medium. The 79 isolates were categorized into two virulence groups, two groups of radial mycelial growth and four groups of sporulation. Radial mycelial growth showed a moderate negative correlation (r = –0.40; P = 0.01) with sporulation. However, mycelial growth and sporulation had no correlation with virulence. Pairings between complementary nitrate non-utilizing (nit) mutants of F. udum generated on chlorate containing minimal medium revealed that all the isolates belonged to a single VCG (VCG 1) with two subgroups, VCG 1 I and VCG 1 II. Vegetative compatibility was independent of cultural characteristics and pathogenicity. This is the first report of vegetative compatibility in F. udum. 相似文献

A total of 108 isolates of cucurbit powdery mildew (CPM) fungi, 78Golovinomyces cichoracearum (Gc) and 30Podosphaera xanthii (Px), originating from nine Czech regions and 22 districts of the Czech Republic were collected in the years 2001–2004. These
isolates were screened for tolerance and/or resistance to the three frequently used fungicides (fenarimol, dinocap, benomyl).
Fungicide sensitivity was determined by a modified leaf-disc bioassay with five concentrations. Fungicide efficacy differed
significantly: fenarimol was the most effective and all isolates of both CPM were controlled by the recommended concentration
(36μg a.i. ml−1). Some isolates expressed resistance (profuse sporulation) or tolerance (limited sporulation) to lower concentrations (9.6
and 18μg a.i. ml−1). Specific temporal variation in tolerance/resistance was observed, with some isolates ofGc from 2002 evincing tolerant or resistant reactions to these low fenarimol concentrations, but isolates with similar reactions
were not detected during the years 2003–2004. Dinocap showed decreasing efficacy during all 3 years. A shift to more tolerant
reactions in the CPM populations was detected forGc in 2001–2002, and forPx in 2001 and 2004. Benomyl was found to be ineffective, because the majority of screened isolates (88%Gc and 97%Px) belonged to the highly resistant strains, with resistant reaction on the recommended concentration (250μg a.i. ml−1) and tolerance or resistance on higher concentrations (500 and 1000μg a.i. ml−1). Sensitivity differed between the CPM species. Whereas practically allPx isolates (except one from 2003) were resistant, 12% ofGc isolates from the years 2001–2003 showed sensitive and/or tolerant reactions. In 2004, only benomyl-resistantGc strains were detected. Variation in tolerance/resistance was detected to all screened fungicides during the course of this
study at some repeatedly sampled locations.

In experiments in vitro at 20 and 30°C the fungiPhytophthora palmivora, Aspergillus melleus, Thielaviopsis paradoxa, Pestalotiopsis versicolor andCurvularia pallescens showed a better mycelial growth on cassava dextrose agar than on potato dextrose agar and yam dextrose agar. This also applied to sporulation, except for the last two fungi at 20°C, which sporulated best on potato dextrose agar.Samenvatting Bij verggeljking van de invloed van aardappelglucose-agar (PDA), cassaveglucoseagar (CaDA) en yamglucose-agar (YDA) op de mycelium groei en sporulatie vanCurvularia pallescens, Phythophthora palmivora, Aspergillus melleus, Pestalotiopsis versicolor enThielaviopsis paradoxa, bleek CaDa in het algemeen de beste groei (Tabel 1) en sporulatie (Tabel 2) te geven. Cassaveglucose-agar kan beschouwd worden als een goede algemene voedingsboden voor het kweken van schimmels. Vooral in de tropische landen kan men hiervan een nuttig gebruik maken. De geschiktste cassavevariëteit moet langs empirische weg geselekteerd worden. 相似文献

The following herbicides were applied annually from 1963 to experimental plots of appropriate crops grown in monoculture: MCPA 1.7 kg ha?1, triallate 1.7 kg ha?1, simazine 1.7 kg ha?1 and linuron 0.84 kg ha?1 (applied twice per year). Before the eighth treatment in 1970, nutrient status, pH and growth in greenhouse tests of a range of plants were similar in soils from treated and control plots. There were no significant differences in yield when several test crops were grown in the field plots in 1977. In a similar experiment which ran for 6 years, the same herbicides were applied twice per year at twice the above rates on each occasion (three times a year at 1.7 kg ha?1 in the case of linuron) to uncropped plots. Three years after the last treatment, there were no differences in extractable nutrients, pH, soil structure and crop yield on treated or control plots. These results support the conclusion from the main monitoring of the experiments reported elsewhere that annual treatments with these herbicides have had no adverse affect on the soil. 相似文献

Seventeen field isolates of Botrytis cinerea were compared by determining their radial growth on synthetic media containing various amounts of 21 antifungal compounds. Twelve of these compounds were fungicides that are recommended for the control of Botrytis infections. There were marked differences between the isolates in their sensitivity to the compounds. Individual isolates displayed high levels of resistance to some of the fungicides, including benomyl, carbendazim, iprodione, thiabendazole, thiophanate-methyl, vinclozolin and zineb. The most potent growth inhibitors were benomyl and carbendazim (ED95 values for most isolates <0.1 μg fungicide ml?1 media), dichlofluanid, iprodione, nystatin, thiabendazole, thiophanatemethyl and vinclozolin (ED95 values for most isolates < 1.0 μg ml?1), and captan, chlorothalonil, dicloran and thiram (ED95 values for most isolates < 6.0 μg ml?1). Zineb was much less potent than the other recommended anti-Botrytis fungicides; it was no more effective than carboxin, dinocap and mancozeb (ED95 values for most isolates > 25 μg ml?1). 相似文献

The effects of atrazine were studied on growth, production of aflatoxin, and fatty acid and sterol biosynthesis by four isolates of Aspergillus in vitro. There was little effect of atrazine on Aspergillus spp. at concentrations up to 20 μg ml?1 but at 40 μg ml?1 or above, growth, production of aflatoxin, and fatty acid and sterol biosynthesis were remarkably reduced. Palmitic, stearic and linoleic acid synthesis were inhibited in three of the isolates tested at 60 μg ml?1. At 100 μg ml?1, except ergosterol, the cholesterol and 5, 7-ergostadienol synthesis was totally inhibited in all isolates. Effet de l'atrazine sur la croissance, la production d'aflatoxine, et la biosynthèse d'acides gras et de stérols par Aspergillus spp. Chez quatre isolats d'Aspergillus, les effets de l'atrazine sur la croissance, la production d'aflatoxine, et la biosynthèse d'acides gras et de stérols ont étéétudiés in vitro. Jusqu'à des concentrations de 20 μg ml?1, l'atrazine n'a eu que peu d'effets, mais à 40 μg ml?1 et au-dessus, la croissance, la production d'aflatoxine, et la biosynthèse d'acides gras et de stérols ont été nettement réduites. Les synthèses d'acides palmitique, stéarique et linoléique ont été inhibées chez trois des isolats, à 60 μg ml?1. A 100 μg ml?1, mis à part l'ergostérol, les synthèses de cholestérol et de 5, 7-ergostanediol ont été totalement inhibées chez tous les isolats. Die Wirkung von Atrazin aufdas Wachslum, die Bildung von Aflatoxin und die Fettsäuren- und Sterol-Biosynthese von Aspergillus spp. Bei vier Isolaten von Aspergillus wurde in vitro die Wirkung auf das Wachstum sowie auf die Bildung von Aflatoxin, Fettsäuren und Sterolen untersucht. Bei Atrazin-Konzentrationen bis zu 20 μg ml?1 war keine Wirkung zu beobachten, aber ab 40 μg ml?1 wurden das Wachstum und die Bildung von Aflatoxin, Fettsäuren und Sterolen deutlich herabgesetzt. Bei 60 μg ml?1 war bei drei Isolaten die Bildung von Palmitin-, Stearin- und Linolensäure gehemmt. Bei 100 μg ml?1 war bei alien Isolaten die Bildung von Cholesterol und 5, 7-Ergostadienol, aber nicht Ergosterol, unterbunden. 相似文献

The effect of the quinone outside inhibitors (QoI) azoxystrobin and pyraclostrobin on yields of winter wheat where QoI resistant Mycosphaerella graminicola isolates were dominant was investigated in field trials in 2006 and 2007. Pyraclostrobin significantly increased yields by 1·57 t ha?1 in 2006 and 0·89 t ha?1 in 2007 when compared to the untreated controls, while azoxystrobin only provided a significant increase of 1·28 t ha?1 in 2006. These yield increases were associated with reduction in septoria tritici blotch (STB) development as determined by weekly disease assessments over a 7 week interval. The effect of pyraclostrobin on STB was studied in controlled environment experiments using wheat seedlings inoculated with individual M. graminicola isolates. Pyraclostrobin significantly reduced STB symptoms by up to 62%, whether applied 48 h pre‐ or post‐ inoculation with resistant M. graminicola isolates containing the cytochrome b mutation G143A. Extremely limited disease (<1%) was observed on similarly treated seedlings inoculated with an intermediately resistant isolate containing the cytochrome b mutation F129L, while no disease was observed on seedlings inoculated with a wild‐type isolate. Germination studies of pycnidiospores of M. graminicola on water agar amended with azoxystrobin or pyraclostrobin showed that neither fungicide inhibited germination of spores of resistant isolates containing the mutation G143A. However, pyraclostrobin significantly reduced germ tube length by up to 46% when compared with the untreated controls. Although the QoIs can no longer be relied upon to provide effective M. graminicola control, this study provides an insight into why QoIs still provide limited STB disease control and yield increases even in situations of high QoI resistance. 相似文献

Mefenoxam is one of the most commonly used fungicides for managing diseases caused by Phytophthora spp. on ornamentals. The objectives of this study were to determine whether Phytophthora nicotianae, a destructive pathogen of numerous herbaceous annual and perennial plant species in nurseries, has developed resistance to mefenoxam, and to evaluate the fitness of mefenoxam‐resistant isolates. Ninety‐five isolates of P. nicotianae were screened for sensitivity to mefenoxam on 20% clarified V8 agar at 100 a.i. µg mL?1. Twenty‐five isolates were highly resistant to this compound with EC50 values ranging from 235·2 to 466·3 µg mL?1 and four were intermediately resistant with EC50 values ranging from 1·6 to 2·9 µg mL?1. Sixty‐six isolates were sensitive with EC50 values less than 0·04 µg mL?1. Nine resistant and seven sensitive isolates were tested for mefenoxam sensitivity on Pelargonium × hortorum cv. White Orbit. Mefenoxam provided good protection of pelargonium seedlings from colonization by sensitive isolates, but not by any resistant isolates. Four resistant and four sensitive isolates were compared for fitness components and their relative competitive ability on Lupinus Russell Hybrids in the absence of mefenoxam. Resistant isolates outcompeted sensitive ones within 3 to 6 sporulation cycles on lupin seedlings, regardless of their initial proportions in mixed zoospore inoculum. Resistant isolates exhibited greater infection rate and higher sporulation ability than sensitive ones when they were applied separately onto lupins. These results suggest that fungicide resistance may pose a serious challenge to the continued effectiveness of mefenoxam as a control option for nursery growers. 相似文献

We report on the performance of the registered herbicides picloram and metsulfuron‐methyl on the control of Campuloclinium macrocephalum (pompom weed) in grasslands. Herbicide trials in hydric and xeric grasslands were treated for three consecutive years in either summer (February) or autumn (April) and monitored for an additional 3 years after spraying ceased. Uncontrolled factors such as a host‐specific rust, fire and drought were observed from the second year of the study. Metsulfuron‐methyl and picloram did not differ in efficacy according to the timing of applications, but average mortality of marked plants was <80% expected of registered herbicides. Populations of C. macrocephalum in plots were reduced proportionately to the percentage mortality of marked plants. Picloram and metsulfuron‐methyl applied at 252 g a.i. ha?1 and 45 g a.i. ha?1, respectively, were not detectable by gas chromatography in the upper 25 cm of the soil profile during any of the sampling intervals from 0 to 56 days after treatment. Three annual applications of registered herbicide did not reduce C. macrocephalum successfully, and it is estimated that between five (summer) to seven (autumn) annual treatments are required to reduce weed density to <1 plant per plot (25 m2). Future research should focus on rust–herbicide interactions, the role of fire in seedbank management and fire as a treatment that could be integrated with chemical control. 相似文献

Germination of sclerotia ofSclerotium rolfsii on agar nutrient medium was delayed or slightly inhibited by concentrations of propiconazole between 0.4 and 4.0 μg ml?1, but was strongly inhibited by 8 μg ml?1 and completely inhibited by 16 μg ml?1. On the other hand, growth of hyphae from the germinated sclerotia was strongly inhibited by propiconazole at 1 μg ml?1 or greater. Hyphal growth from agar discs on agar medium was about 8 times less sensitive than hyphal growth from the sclerotia or from hyphal inoculum in liquid media. Propiconazole at 0.25 and 1.0 μg ml?1 strongly inhibited ergosterol biosynthesis, but this was not associated with large accumulations of C-14 methyl sterols. The ratio of eburicol to ergosterol in hyphae grown in the presence of 0.25 μg ml?1 propiconazole for 16, 30 or 45 h was 0.11, 0.13 and 0.04, respectively, for the three intervals while for hyphae grown in the presence of 1 μg ml?1, the ratios were 0.29, 0.36 and 0.30, respectively, for the same intervals. In view of a ratio of 23.5 for14C-acetate incorporation into the two sterols during the initial 6 h growth period in the presence of propiconazole, it is believed that the lack of large accumulation of C-14 methyl sterols is due to the feedback inhibition by eburicol or to cell lysis when the content of ergosterol becomes too low in the actively growing cells. 相似文献

Eleven sterol biosynthesis-inhibiting fungicides were compared in experiments to determine the physico-chemical properties required for most effective control of take-all by soil treatment. All were active in agar culture against an isolate of the pathogen which causes take-all, Gaeumannomyces grammis var. tritici, with prochloraz being the most toxic (EC50 0.02 μg ml?1) and PP 969 the least (EC50 0.44 μg ml?1). Penconazole and PP 969 had vapour activity against the fungus in further bioassays on agar. In soil in pots, the most strongly lipophilic compound, buthiobate, was ineffective against take-all in wheat; triadimenol was most effective and, like flutriafol, nuarimol and PP 969, retained some effectiveness after 12 weeks in soil. PP 969, unlike penconazole or nuarimol, was effective in soil treated unevenly by mixing the fungicides in layers. PP 969 is relatively polar, and it is suggested that this property, allowing redistribution in soil water rather than as vapour, outweighed its poor intrinsic toxicity. The ideal soil-treatment fungicide should therefore be polar and also have good intrinsic activity and moderate persistence. None of the compounds tested had all these properties. 相似文献

Broadcast sprays of several herbicides were applied at different times of the year at several sites in Hawkes Bay, Canterbury and Otago. For good thistle control, date of application was more important than types of herbicide. In Hawkes Bay, applications made in April, May and June tended to be the most effective. Under slightly cooler Canterbury conditions, April, September and October were the best application dates. In the Otago trials, spring emergence of thistle seedlings meant that the most consistent results came from September or October applications. At all sites, applications made in July or August were relatively ineffective, probably because of low winter temperatures and slow thistle growth rates. MCPA (potassium salt) at 1·0 kg ha?1 was the standard herbicide used in all experiments. MCPA at 0·5 kg ha?1, MCPB (sodium salt) at 0·5 and 1·0 kg ha?1 and 2,4-D at 0·5 kg ha?1 did not kill as many thistles as MCPA at 1·0 kg ha?1. MCPA at 1·5 kg ha?1 and MCPB (butyl) ester + clopyralid at 0·5 + 0·015 or 1·0+0·03 kg ha?1 gave consistently better control than MCPA at 1·0 kg ha?1 2,4-D at 1·0 or 1·5 kg ha?1, MCPB at 1·5 or 2·0 kg ha?1, and MCPA + MCPB at 0·33 + 1·0 or 0·67 + 0·5 kg ha?1 gave results very similar to MCPA at 1 kg ha?1. Thistle control varied between sites and years. Some of the variation may have been due to different proportions of first and second year thistles present at spraying, and to variation in genetically determined herbicide susceptibility. Chemical control of thistles was short term only, because of dormant seeds in the soil. 相似文献
