Tank mixtures of solution nitrogen, triallate [S-(2,3,3-trichloroallyl)diisopropyl-thiocarbamate] and/or trifluralin [α,α,α,-trifluro-2, 6-dinitro-N, N-dipropyl-p-toluidine] were evaluated for the control of wild oats (Avena fatua L.) and/or green foxtail (Setaria viridis (L.) Beauv.). The response of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cv. Neepawa to solution nitrogen applied alone or in combination with triallate and/or trifluralin were evaluated. Good control of wild oats and green foxtail was obtained with a tank mixture of solution nitrogen, trifluralin at 1.38 kg/ha, and triallate at 1.65 kg/ha. Tank mixtures of triallate at 1.65 kg/ha with solution nitrogen controlled wild oats. Trifluralin at 1.38 kg/ha with solution nitrogen controlled wild oats and green foxtail. Control of green foxtail and wild oats resulted in increased wheat yields, higher nitrogen content in wheat grain, and a more efficient use of applied nitrogen fertilizer. The response of wheat to nitrogen was similar when nitrogen was applied in tank mixes with herbicides or with water to hand-weeded plots.

Excellent Control

In a series of field and greenhouse experiments, propanil (3′, 4′-dichloropropionalide) as a postemergent herbicide provided excellent control of green foxtail (Setaria viridis (L.) Beauv.) in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). Although some initial chlorosis occurred, wheat and barley recovered quickly and were considered tolerant to propanil at up to 1 kg/ha applied over a growth period extending from the 2- to 8-leaf stages of the green foxtail. Propanil at rates greater than 1 kg/ha resulted in considerable chlorosis and leaf tip burn, and although grain yields were not reduced, crop tolerance was visually assessed as unsatisfactory. Control of green foxtail was satisfactory with 1 kg/ha at the 2- to 4-leaf stages but not at later stages. Control was significantly better when the spray pressure at application was 310 kPa compared to 207 kPa. Analysis indicated that at the 2 and 4 kg/ha rate of propanil the residues in wheat and barley disappeared very quickly. At harvest, wheat grain contained 0.09 ppm of propanil.

Hand Weeding

Postemergent sprays of barban (4-chloro-2-butynyl m chlorocarbanilate) at the 2-leaf stage of wild oats (Avena fatua L.) and flamprop methyl [methyl N-benzoyl-N-(3-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)-2-aminopropionate] at the 3-leaf stage in water or solution nitrogen fertilizer gave moderate to good control of wild oats and significant increases of 21 and 30%, respectively, in yields of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. ’Neepawa’). Barban and flamprop methyl had no apparent effect on nitrogen content of wheat grain. When wild oats were controlled with herbicides the decrease in plant competition permitted increased growth of green foxtail (Setaria viridis L. Beauv.). Solution nitrogen and hand-weeding treatments increased nitrogen in the wheat grain significantly. Large increases in numbers and dry matter yields of wild oats resulted in relatively low crop yields from solution nitrogen, e.g. non-significant with barban and a 9% increase in the flamprop methyl experiment. Either herbicide applied with solution nitrogen produced an initial injury to plant leaves. However, wheat recovered rapidly and there was no indication of reduced growth at harvest. No effect was observed when herbicides were applied separately from solution nitrogen.

The selectivity of {2-[4-(2′,4′-dichlorophenoxy) phenoxy] methyl propionate}, (hereinafter referred to as dichlofop methyl), among wheat (Triticum aestivumL. ‘Neepawa’), barley (Hordeum vulgareL. ‘Bonanza’), wild oat (Avena fatuaL.), and green foxtail (Setaria viridis(L.) Beauv.) was investigated. On an ED50basis, barley, wild oat, and green foxtail were 2, 190, and 1,090 times more sensitive, respectively, to foliar-applied dichlofop methyl at the two-leaf stage than was wheat. Selectivity decreased with increasing maturity of the plant material with the ratio of selectivity between barley and wild oat decreasing from 55 at the two-leaf stage to three at the four-leaf-plus-one-tiller stage. Greater spray retention and more rapid penetration of dichlofop methyl partially explained the susceptibility of green foxtail, but did not explain selectivity between wheat, wild oat, and barley. Root uptake of14C-dichlofop methyl by the four species was proportional to the amount of solution absorbed during the treatment period and to the concentration of dichlofop methyl in the treatment solution but was not related to species sensitivity to this herbicide.

Foliar Treatment

Transpiration of wild oat (Avena fatua L.) plants was markedly reduced after foliar treatment with barban (4-chloro-2-butynyl-m-chlorocarbanilate), asulam (methyl sulfanylcarbamate), dichlorfop methyl (4-(2′,4′-dichlorophenoxy)-phenoxypropionic acid methyl ester), difenzoquat (1,2-dimethyl-3,5-diphenyl-1 H-pyrazolium) or benzoylprop ethyl (ethyl-N-benzoyl-N(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-aminopropionate). Suppression of transpiration increased with increasing herbicide rates. Difenzoquat and dichlorfop methyl at 1.12 kg/ha reduced transpiration by more than 50% within 2 days after spraying. Barban, asulam and benzoylprop ethyl did not reduce transpiration to this level until about 12 days after spraying. When wild oats and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) or wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) were grown together, removal of the weed with these herbicides resulted in significantly heavier barley and wheat plants with more tillers per plant than in the untreated control. The earlier removal of wild oat competition with dichlorfop methyl and difenzoquat treatments resulted in the production of more dry weight and culms per plant of barley and wheat than with the slower-acting barban and benzoylprop ethyl.

Green Foxtail

Green foxtail, Setaria viridis (L.) Beauv., emerged at the same time in the spring as the wheat Triticum aestivum L. This was attributed to faster growth of green foxtail when the soil warmed up and its emergence from shallower depths than the wheat. There was a flush of emergence in the spring. Subsequent emergence appeared to depend on rainfall but some seedlings emerged in every 2-wk period throughout the season and in some years as late as October. A buildup of seeds occurred with the 3-yr rotation, i.e., when wheat was sown as a second crop. Germination was primarily controlled by temperature. No germination occurred in 10 days at 4.4 C and only a limited amount at 10 C. Eleven to 26% of the seeds in the soil and 7% of those on the surface were viable after 4 yr. Persistence increased markedly with depth, which emphasizes the need for shallow tillage. Primary dormancy disappeared rapidly. Secondary dormancy was detected thereafter in as many as 24% of the seeds.

The effects on weed community composition of zero-, minimum-, and conventional tillage practices were examined on three soil types under both continuous wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and wheat-fallow rotations between 1982 and 1989. Green foxtail [Setaria viridis (L.) Beauv.] became a problem on continuously cropped plots, especially on the sandy loam soil where densities reached a maximum of 2354 plants m−2 with conventional tillage. Without tillage, high densities of foxtail barley (Hordeum jubatum L.) developed since this species was not adequately controlled by herbicides. Even in a year when precipitation was only 63% of normal, perennial shoots of this species achieved a maximum density of 1222 plants m−2. A hoe seeder tended to improve foxtail barley control relative to the disc seeder used, likely due to greater soil disturbance. Wheat losses were significantly correlated to weed density, and it was concluded that, in terms of weed control in wheat, some degree of tillage may be required in southwestern Saskatchewan.

Methods Of Application

Twelve weed control treatments recommended for corn (Zea mays L.) in the dryland areas of Western Canada were compared over a 3-yr period from 1975 to 1977. Corn yields were similar after treatment with atrazine (2-chloro-4-ethylamino-6-(isopropylamino)-s-triazine) alone, plus cultivation, or plus butylate (S-ethyl di-diisobutylthiocarbamate), or EPTC (S-ethyl dipropylthiocarbamate) plus R25788 (N,N-diallyl-2,2-dichloroacetamide). Wild oats (Avena fatua L.) were consistently controlled by atrazine or by EPTC plus R25788 applied and incorporated before seeding. Postemergence applications of atrazine plus oil also effectively controlled wild oats. Butylate was not as effective as atrazine or EPTC plus R25788 in the control of wild oats. EPTC plus R25788 and butylate consistently controlled green foxtail (Setaria viridis (L.) Beauv.) while atrazine effectively controlled green foxtail only in 1976 when rainfall was above normal during the period of green foxtail emergence and initial growth. Broad-leaved weeds were controlled by atrazine with all methods of application. The preplant incorporation of atrazine plus butylate and the postemergence application of atrazine plus oil in a band over the row followed by interrow cultivation consistently controlled all weeds. Wild oats and broad-leaved weeds greatly reduced corn yields whereas green foxtail did not compete strongly with corn. Green foxtail was present only in the unweeded and atrazine treatments and, in those treatments, its ability to compete with corn may have been reduced by either wild oats or atrazine, respectively.

Postemergence applications of MSMA (monosodium methanearsonate) for weed control in spring wheat (Triticum aestivumL.) were evaluated in the field, greenhouse, and controlled environmental chamber. MSMA controlled weeds better when applied to wheat at the four- to five-leaf stage than when applied at the two- to three-leaf stage. MSMA, tank mixed with barban (4-chloro-2-butynyl-m-chlorocarbanilate) or diclofop {2-[4-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)phenoxy] propanoic acid}, controlled wild oat (Avena fatuaL.), green foxtail, [Setaria viridis(L.) Beauv.] and broadleaf weeds better than did MSMA applied alone. Wild oat control with tank-mix applications of MSMA and difenzoquat (1,2-dimethyl-3,5-diphenyl-1H-pyrazolium) was variable. Weed control with MSMA was enhanced by 30 C air temperatures, 90% relative humidity, and adequate soil moisture. A simulated rainfall of 0.5 mm within 0.5 h or 4 mm with 4 hr after application reduced wild oat control with MSMA.

Control of green foxtail (Setaria viridis (L.) Beauv.) with AC 206,784 (2-chloro-N-isopropyl-2′,3′-acetoxylidide) was evaluated at four locations in western Canada. With soil applications, control was good at Lacombe in 1978 but poor at Lacombe and Regina during 1979. Control was good at Brandon and Scott in 1979. At two locations in 1979, soil surface (PE) applications were less effective for control of green foxtail than preplant-incorporated (PPI) treatments. PPI treatments to a depth of 5 cm were more effective than PPI to 10 cm. Soil applications of AC 206,784 did not control wild oats (Avena fatua L.) or injure wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under field conditions but did provide suppression of these species under greenhouse conditions. Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) tolerance to AC 206,784 was good. Treating the soil zone containing the emerging coleoptiles of green foxtail and wheat caused more injury that treating the root zone. Application of AC 206,784 as a tank-mixture with triallate did not affect its activity on green foxtail or influence triallate activity on wild oats. In field and greenhouse experiments, control of green foxtail with AC 206,784 applied at the two-leaf stage was variable; at the four-leaf stage it was poor.

The efficacy of diclofop methyl, flamprop methyl, difenzoquat, and barban on wild oats (Avena fatua L.) in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was tested in the field at Scott and Lacombe from 1978 to 1982. The four herbicides were applied at recommended rates and growth stages. Diclofop methyl consistently caused the greatest reduction in wild oat culms and plant weights and resulted in the largest wheat yield increases. Diclofop methyl, flamprop methyl and difenzoquat consistently produced yield increases over the untreated control.Key words: Wild oats, wheat, barban, diclofop methyl, flamprop methyl, difenzoquat
