Q

Atrazine Herbicide Activity

A

Soil Applied

Herbicide translocated in the apoplast (xylem) and moves with transpiring water to the oldest leaves

Leaf Applied

Herbicide moves with water to the leaf margins

  • must have good coverage to get good control
  • Does not move to the youngest tissue

Q

Prerequisities for Effective Herbicide Use

A

Must come in Contact with the Plant

  • Has to Remain on the Surface of Seed or Leaf Long Enough to Penetrate
  • Surfactants to Hold Chemical on the Leaf
  • Rainfastness or Rain-free Period (30 minutes to 4 hours)

Must Reach the Site where it Disrupts the Vital Process or Structure

  • A photosynthetic Inhibitor does no good in the Root

High Enough Concentration or Long Enough to Injure the Plant

  • Reduced Rates may not have enough on Plant
  • Rainfastness
  • Soil Chemicals Leached to Levels below Optimum Rate

Time of Application

A

Preplant (pp)

  • Need water to get herbicide into seed zone

Preplant Incorporated (ppi)

  • Applied propr to Planting and Worked into the Soil
  • Normally done because the Herbicide is Photodecomposed or Volatile

Q

Post-Emergence Application

A

Made after the emergence of crop or weed

If after weed emergence but before crop emergence (burndown)

  • Can see the Problems
  • If herbicides have ONLY foliar activity and no soil residual crop does not need to be tolerant to the herbicide
  • Could use nonselective herbicides (e.g. Roundup, Liberty, paraquat)
  • Apply when weeds are small (less herbicide needed)
  • Done before critical weed free period (yield loss stopped)

If AFTER Crop Emergence

  • Crop must be tolerant and at the correct stage of growth

Q

Herbicide Movement in the Plant

Contact

A

No movement in plant

Kills only the tissue that is treated

Complete coverage of the plant is needed to get good control (best applied when plant is small)

Examples

  • aciflorfen (Blazer) (soybean)
  • bentazon (Basagran) (soybean & corn)
  • paraquat (Paraquat) (orchards & other places)

Q

Herbicide Movement in Plants

Translocated Herbicides

A

Moves in the plant from the site of application to other plant parts

Two Types of Movement

  • Symplastic (phloem)

Moves with the sugars/typically moves to the newest areas of the plant

  • Apoplastic (xylem)

Water moves in the xylem/going to the oldest tissue in the plant/applying to leaf it moves to the outer edges of the leaf

  • A premix may have similar active ingredients at different concentrations and be marketed under different names

Examples

Q

Type of Mixture

Tank-Mix

A

Mixed in the field not as the formulation

  • Caution must be taken
  • Incompatible Formulations

The solution turns into sludge

Having AI precipitate out of solution

Mixing chemicals bound to clay with chemicals that are adsorbed by clay

(i.e. glyphosate and DF formulations)

Combining antagonistic chemicals (get no or little plant response)

Getting too high a response (Burn crop or residual lasts too long)

Not understanding all the ingredients already in a formulation

When mixed there can be 4 types of responses that occur

Q

Responses to Herbicide Mixtures

Syngeristic Response

A

When mixing 2 chemicals get a greater response than either chemical alone

  • This can be good if get better weed control i.e. mix a some 2,4-D (cheap) with Tordon (expensive) and get a more phytotoxicity than either alone
  • Bad if get more crop injury

Q

Responses to Herbicide Mixtures

Antagonistic Response

A

When the mixture of 2 or more herbicides results in less than expected response (i.e. less weed control) than when any of them are used separately

  • If you mix 2,4-D with some wild oat herbicides get no wild oat control

Graph Info

To get the same response as if the two chemicals were used alone, 1.2 to 1.5 times as much of either herbicide needes to be applied in the mix

Q

Responses to Herbicide Mixtures

Enhancement

A

Mix a nonphytotoxic adjuvant (i.e. crop oil or other) with a herbicide and get a response that is greater than the herbicide is used alone

  • Phytotoxicity increased usually results from increased leaf absorption
  • May reduce crop selectivity (may get more injury such as burned leaves or stunted plants)

Why Soil Applied

A

Soil Pre

A

Herbicides Applied to Soil (PRE Applications)

  • Meant to have residual effect (if not burndown)
  • Control germinating seedlings (if seedlings have emerged, some have no activity)
  • More environmental problems with soil applied herbicides
  • Some metabolites of the chemical remain toxic

Atrazine to deethylatrazine

Balance (isoxaflutole) (1/2 life 4 days) to DKN metabolite (highly active) (1/2 life 3 weeks plus) low sorption of each

A

Must come in contact with developing plant

  • Depth of application must be correct or need to leach to the zone needed
  • Dormant structures are not affected

Herbicide must be there in high enough concentration

  • Reasons why the concentration may be low even if applied at the correct amount

Remains where it’s at is nontoxic due to rapid breakdown (e.g. 2,4-D) or very high sorption (e.g. Roundup)

Remains where it’s at and continues to be toxic

Remains where it’s at degrades to another toxic product

Movement to offsite areas as parent or metabolite (can be toxic or nontoxic)

Mechanisms for movement (< 1% of applied but still detectable)

  • Runoff

Q

Herbicide Uptake

A

Herbicide moves in soil to the point of contact

  • with water (mass flow)
  • as a gas (diffusion)

Herbicide DOES NOT move

  • Roots or shoots grow into and through the treated area (interception)

Note: Some herbicides cannot be taken by roots, some cannot be taken up by shoots

  • Can use these properties to design where the chemical is placed to control the weeds of interest and not injure the crop

Protect the leaf from free radicles and oxidative stress

(xanthophylls and carotenes)

Distance to the nontarget area

  • Further the distance to offset areas (large buffer zone) less risk of contamination

Droplet size

Smaller droplets - further drift

103

Herbicide Uptake in the Foliage Depends on

A

Spray Timing (plant size/cover)

Formulation and Additives

Application Equipment (droplet size)

Plant properties (hairs, smooth, waxy)

Time to rain (rainfastness)

Help water spread and adhere to leaf

Reduce surface water tension

Allow closer contact of the herbicide with the leaf surface

Help minimize runoff (help water stick to the leaf)

106
Q

Herbicide Movement through the Cuticle

A

By diffusion (passive process from high to low concentration)

Moves through

  • Intermolecular Spaces
  • Pectin Spaces (if water soluble)
  • Embedded Waxes (if nonpolar)

Depends on the Chemistry of the Herbicide

Nonpolar Molecules (like EC formulations)

Can easily move through wax but dont move through water well

Polar Molecules (like amine formulations)

Cannot move through wax but once in the leaf can move in polar (pectin or water filled spaces

109
Q

Bariers to Herbicide Absorption by the Leaf

Cell Wall

114
Q

Saflufenacil (Kixor) - Mechanism of Action 14
