Growth Inhibition of Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) and Soybean (Glycine max) Roots and Shoots by Three Dinitroaniline Herbicides
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 June 2017
Abstract
Environmental control chamber experiments showed that cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L. ‘Stoneville 213′) and soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr. ‘Bragg’] root and shoot growth were reduced when treated with increasing rates of dinitramine (N4,N4-diethyl-α,α,α-tri-fluoro-3,5-dinitrotoluene-2,4-diamine), profluralin [N-(cyclopropylmethyl)-α,αα-trifluoro-2,6-dinitro-N-propyl-p-toluidine], and trifluralin (α,α,α-trifluoro-2,6-dintrio-N,N-dipropyl-p-toluidine). Viusal root ratings, dry root weights, and fresh and dry herbage weights were used to evaluate plant response to herbicide treatments in environmental chambers. The order of increasing GR50 values for cotton on two soils and with all response measurements, except dry root weights on one soil, was trifluralin, dinitramine, and profluralin. The order of increasing GR50 values for soybeans on two soils and with all response measurements was dinitramine, trifluralin, and profluralin.
