The activity and mobility of triasulfuron in soil as influenced by organic matter,duration, amount and frequency of rain     

F. K. OPPONG  G.R. SAGAR 《Weed Research》1992,32(3):157-165

The influence of different levels of organic matter and of the duration, amount and frequency of rainfall on the biological activity and mobility of triasulfuron were investigated. Biological activity was inversely related to the organic matter content of the soil. Movement of the herbicide down the soil profile, assessed by bioassay, was inversely related to the organic matter content of the soil, and the amount and frequency of rain directly influenced the extent of leaching of the herbicide. Triasulfuron was moved to a depth of at least 22.5 cm when soil columns were exposed to a total of 528 mm of natural rainfall over a period of 6 months. The presence of phytotoxic levels of the herbicide in the surface layers of soil columns 6 months after exposure to outdoor temperatures and natural rainfall suggested that triasulfuron may persist in soils for relatively long periods. Influence de la matiére organique, et de la durée, niveau et fréquence des précipitations sur l'activité et la mobilité du triasulfuron dans le sol L'influence de différentes teneurs en matière organique et de la durée, quantité et fréquence des pluies sur l'activité biologique et la mobilité du triasulfuron a étéétudiée. L'activité biologique est inversement liée avec la teneur enmatière organique du sol. Le mouvement descendant de l'herbicide dans le profil du sol, estimé par bio essai, est inversement lié avec la teneur en matière organique du sol, et la quantité et la fréquence des pluies influencent directement l'importance de la lixiviation de l'herbicide. Le triasulfuron s'est déplacé jusqu'à une profondeur d'au moins 22,5 cm quand les colonnes de sols ont été exposées à un total de 52,8 cm de pluies naturelles sur une période de 6 mois. La présence de taux phytotoxiques d'herbicide dans les couches superficielles des colonnes de sol 6 mois après l'exposition aux températures extérieures et aux précipitations naturelles montre que le triasulfuron peut persister dans 1s sols pendant des périodes relativement longues. Einfluβ der organischen Substanz des Bodens sowie der Niederschlagsdauer, -menge und -frequenz auf Persistenz und Mobilität von Triasulfuron im Boden Die biologische Aktivität sowie die Verlagerung von Triasulfuron im Boden, mit Biotests bestimmt, waren umgekehrt proportional zum Gehalt an organischer Substanz. Die Regenmenge sowie -frequenz beeinflußten die Einwaschung des Herbizids direkt. Bei insgesamt 528 mm natürlichem Niederschlag innerhalb 6 Monaten wurde Triasulfuron in Bodensäulen mindestens 22,5 cm tief eingewaschen. Aus dem Vorhandensein phytotoxischer Mengen des Wirkstoffs in den oberen Schichten der Bodensäulen nach 6 Monaten unter Freilandbedingungen wurde auf relativ hohe Persistenz im Boden geschlossen.  相似文献   

Phenological patterns in an arable land weed community related to disturbance     

F. X. SANS  R. M. MASALLES 《Weed Research》1995,35(5):321-332

The emergence pattern and life cycle of four major species growing in a non–irrigated almond tree grove were analysed in relation to ploughing frequencies and environmental factors. At the community level, the overall emergence pattern was found to be much the same whether or not the soil was disturbed. Nevertheless, soil disturbance in late winter and early spring produced peaks of seedling emergence and brought about an increase in germination. Winter annuals such as Lolium rigidum Gaudin and Diplotaxis erucoides (L.) DC., which emerged in the autumn, started to grow rapidly in winter and spring and were able to pre–empt the environmental resources of the habitat and suppress spring–germinating plants such as Chenopodium album L. and Amaranthus blitoides S. Watson. Late–winter and early–spring disturbances favoured the dominance of summer annuals such as C. album and A. blitoides S. Watson. The different ploughing regimes applied during the first year had effects on plant development and seed production which brought about changes in plant population size during the second year.  相似文献   

A Japanese powdery mildew isolate with exceptionally large infection efficiency on Mlo-resistant barley   总被引：1，自引：2，他引：1  

M. F LYNGKJÆR  H. P JENSEN  H. ØSTERGÅRD 《Plant pathology》1995,44(5):786-790

A Japanese field isolate (Race I) of Erysiphe graminis f.sp, hordei was tested on 17 barley lines carrying the mlo powdery mildew resistance gene. Race I produced many successful infections with infection type larger than or equal to 2 on six lines (M66, MC20, SRI, SR7, A tem and Totem), On the remaining 11 lines it reacted with infection type 0. Colony numbers on the Mlo-lines were between 26% and 12 9% of the numbers on a susceptible cultivar Manchuria, These numbers were larger than, or similar to those produced by isolate HL3/5, which has the highest recorded infection efficiency on Mlo-resistant cultivars. The interaction between isolates and lines was highly significant. The isolate GE3, from which HL3/5 was derived by selection, gave rise to occasional colonies corresponding to less than 03° o of the number produced on cv. Manchuria.  相似文献   

The transmission by nematodes of tobraviruses is not determined exclusively by the virus coat protein     

Stuart A. MacFarlane  Derek J. F. Brown  John F. Bol 《European journal of plant pathology / European Foundation for Plant Pathology》1995,101(5):535-539

The coat protein gene of the nematode non-transmissible, SP5 isolate of pea early-browning tobravius was replaced with that of the highly nematode transmissible, PPK20 isolate of tobacco rattle tobravirus. Plants were infected with the recombinant virus when mechanically inoculated and the virus invaded the plants systemically. However, although the PPK20 isolate of TRV was transmitted by nematodes from these plants, the recombinant virus was not transmitted. Therefore, the virus coat protein is not the exclusive determinant of nematode transmission.  相似文献

M. J. A. SIMPSON  M. N. O'CONNELL  R. M. STOBART  F. J. CULLUM 《Plant pathology》1995,44(3):547-551

The antiphytoviral activity of 1-morpholinomethyl-tetrahydro-2(1H)-pyrimidinone (DD13) in a test system including protoplast cultures, surviving tissues and greenhouse plants was examined. The inhibitory effect was quantitatively investigated by immunofluorescence and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. The antiviral action in vitro was 96%. The first 6 h after inoculation was the most sensitive period of the tomato mosaic virus (ToMV) reproduction cycle. DD13 possessed a protective effect in 97–100% plants infected with ToMV and cucumber mosaic virus (CMV).  相似文献   

Inhibition of juvenile hormone biosynthesis and methyl farnesoate epoxidase activity by 1,5-disubstituted imidazoles in the cockroach,Diploptera punctata     

Gopalan C. Unnithan  John F. Andersen  Tomomi Hisano  Eiichi Kuwano  Ren Feyereisen 《Pest management science》1995,43(1):13-19

Seventeen substituted imidazoles were tested as inhibitors of juvenile hormone (JH) III synthesis by cockroach corpora allata in an in-vitro radio-chemical assay. Most of these 1,5-disubstituted imidazoles were highly potent, with IC₅₀ values of less than 100nM. The compounds differed in their ability to cause an accumulation of the precursor methyl farnesoate in the glands. Four of the imidazoles were tested by topical application to previtellogenic adult females, and all caused a significant inhibition of JH synthesis and an accumulation of intraglandular methyl farnesoate for at least three days after treatment. Methyl farnesoate epoxidase activity of homogenates of corpora allata was inhibited by the compounds TH -14 and TH -27. This P450-dependent epoxidase activity was inhibited at less than 10 nM. The results show that the 1,5-disubstituted imidazoles are powerful inhibitors of the last step of juvenile synthesis in this cockroach.  相似文献   

Metal chelate molluscicides: The redistribution of iron diazaalkanolates from the gut lumen of the slug,Deroceras reticulatum (Müller) (Pulmonata: Limacidae)     

Suzanne J. Clark  Nicola P. Coward  Glenn W. Dawson  Ian F. Henderson  Andrew P. Martin 《Pest management science》1995,44(4):381-388

Two related iron chelates, one toxic to slugs by ingestion, the other not, were introduced into the foregut of D. reticulatum. The subsequent movement and redistribution of the metal within the slug tissues was studied by labelling the chelates with the radioactive isotope ⁵⁵Fe. In slugs which survived treatment approximately half of the ⁵⁵Fe was voided in faeces. The iron retained became unevenly distributed, the highest concentration occurring in the digestive gland, irrespective of the chelate used. At high doses, slugs treated with tris(1-oxo-1,2-diazabutan-2-oxido)Fe(III) were fatally poisoned while those treated with the homologue, tris(1-oxo-1,2-diazaoctan-2-oxido)Fe(III) were not. Slugs killed by the toxic chelate consistently contained proportionally less iron in the digestive gland and proportionally more in the body wall and reproductive system. Dosing slugs already killed by carbon dioxide asphyxiation gave a similar pattern, suggesting that the greater mobility of the iron from the toxic chelate was not a function of the slugs' metabolism.  相似文献

Evidence for Phytophthora cinnamomi involvement in Iberian oak decline   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：1  

C. M. BRASIER  F. ROBREDO  J. F. P. FERRAZ 《Plant pathology》1993,42(1):140-145

Rapid and sometimes extensive mortality and decline of oak, principally Quercus suber and Q. ilex , has occurred in parts of southern Spain and Portugal in recent decades. We report here isolation of the aggressive root pathogen Phytophthora cinnamomi from roots of diseased oaks or from soil at eleven out of thirteen decline foci examined. It is proposed that the introduction and spread of P. cinnamomi may be a major factor in the Iberian oak decline, interacting with drought and other site factors, and leading to stress-related attacks by insects and other fungi. By analogy, it may also be involved in the similar oak declines occurring elsewhere on the Mediterranean.  相似文献   

Biological diversity of citrus tristeza virus (CTV) isolates in Spain   总被引：5，自引：1，他引：5  

J. F. BALLESTER-OLMOS  J. A. PINA  E. A. CARBONELL  P. MORENO  A. HERMOSO DE  MENDOZA  M. CAMBRA  L. NAVARRO 《Plant pathology》1993,42(2):219-229

A survey of citrus tristeza virus (CTV) isolates was carried out in most citrus-growing areas in Spain. Twenty-two isolates were selected by geographical origin, cultivar of source tree, and symptoms observed on the host or in preliminary tests, and were biologically characterized.
A wide range of variation in transmissibility by aphids and symptom intensity on nine different indicator species or scion-rootstock combinations was observed among CTV isolates. Mexican lime. Citrus macrophylla , and to a lesser extent citron were the most useful hosts for characterizing these isolates, and leaf symptoms and stem pitting were the most discriminating traits. Positive correlation was observed between symptoms induced on Mexican lime and C. macrophylla , but not between the symptoms induced on these indicators under greenhouse conditions and the homologous symptoms on plants grown in the screenhouse. Some of the traits studied enabled us to establish relatively well-defined groups of isolates, but in most cases a continuous range of variation was obtained and no clear group could be defined.  相似文献
