Abstract Various works have quantitatively characterized the effects of environmental and management factors on Miscanthus giganteus Greef et Deu ( mxg ) yield and, therefore, anticipated land requirement per unit production. However, little work has addressed cutting height, which may significantly contribute to difference between standing aboveground biomass at harvest (i.e., biological yield) harvested yield. This study effect height using a replicated nitrogen trial 5‐year‐old stand in...
Laboratory and field research was conducted to determine the influence of winter wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) stubble on weed control dissipation emulsifiable concentrate formulations (EC) metolachlor [2-chloro- N -(2-ethyl-6-methylphenyl)- -(2-methoxy-1-methylethyl) acetamide], alachlor -(2,6-diethylphenyl)- -(methoxymethyl)acetamide], acetochlor -(ethoxymethyl)- -(2-ethyl-6-methylphenyl)acetamide]; microencapsulated (ME) acetochlor. EC provided better than when applied 28 days before...
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to study alachlor microcapsule morphology and the effects of straw age moisture on herbicide release. Microcapsule diameter in formulation ranged from 2 15 μm. The polyurea encapsulating material stable water over time. Diffusion suggested as primary mode release, with diffusion rate controlled by salt concentration gradients between surrounding aqueous solution. Alachlor release promoted drying microcapsules before addition water. unchanged 48 h...
