Crescimento e desenvolvimento, resistência múltipla aos herbicidas inibidores da EPSPS-ALS e alternativas em pós-emergência para controle de Amaranthus palmeri (S.) Wats / Growth and development, multiple resistance to EPSPS-ALS inhibiting herbicides and post-emergence alternatives to control Amaranthus palmeri (S.) Wats

Gonçalves Netto, Acácio 30 January 2017 (has links)
Em 2015, o caruru palmer (Amaranthus palmeri) foi identificado pela primeira vez no Brasil, na região do núcleo algodoeiro do estado de Mato Grosso, em áreas normalmente cultivadas com rotação das culturas de algodão, soja e milho. Esta espécie possui reconhecida importância internacional, no entanto, não se conhece seu comportamento biológico nos sistemas de produção brasileiros. Ainda, também é desconhecido o grau de suscetibilidade do biótipo introduzido no país aos herbicidas, principalmente ao glyphosate e inibidores da ALS, que são os principais herbicidas utilizados para seu controle em outros países. Deste modo, este trabalho foi desenvolvido com o objetivo de caracterizar o crescimento e desenvolvimento do biótipo de A. palmeri originário do Estado do Mato Grosso, em condição de casa-de-vegetação; caracterizar o nível de resistência deste biótipo ao herbicida glyphosate (inibidor da EPSPS); verificar a existência de resistência múltipla EPSPS-ALS, bem como resistência cruzada entre os grupos químicos dos herbicidas inibidores da ALS; além de testar herbicidas alternativos aplicados em condição de pós-emergência da planta daninha. O biótipo brasileiro de A. palmeri teve rápido desenvolvimento fenológico, com início de emissão de inflorescências aos 50 dias após semeadura; o desenvolvimento fenológico de A. palmeri teve ajuste linear conforme equação y =0,8866.x; o biótipo teve acúmulo máximo de 45 g planta-1, com pico de crescimento absoluto aos 60 DAS; o crescimento da espécie foi considerado moderado quando comparado às espécies nacionais de Amaranthus, bem como aos dados internacionais de A. palmeri. Quanto aos herbicidas inibidores da EPSPS, pôde-se concluir com segurança tratar-se de biótipo resistente ao herbicida glyphosate. Ainda, constatou-se resistência múltipla aos inibidores da EPSPS-ALS. Considerando-se somente os inibidores da ALS, trata-se de população com resistência cruzada entre sulfoniluréias - triazolopirimidinas - imidazolinonas. Estas plantas foram adequadamente controladas pelos seguintes tratamentos herbicidas (g ha-1): fomesafen a 250, lactofen a 168, mesotrione + atrazina a 120 + 1.500, tembotrione + atrazina a 75,6 + 1.500, amônio glufosinato a 400 e paraquat a 400 g i.a. ha-1. O estádio de aplicação de 2 a 4 folhas, com até 5 cm de altura, é o mais indicado para o controle da planta daninha. / In 2015, Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri) was firstly identified in Brazil, at the cotton nucleus region of the State of Mato Grosso, in areas usually maintained under cotton, soybean and corn crop rotation. This species has recognized importance worldwide, however its biological behavior in Brazilian cropping systems is unknown. In addition, it is also unknown the degree of herbicide susceptibility of the biotype introduced in the country, mainly its susceptibility to glyphosate and ALS inhibiting herbicides, that are the main products used to control this species in other countries. Therefore, this work was developed with the objective of characterizing growth and development of the A. palmeri biotype collected in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil, under greenhouse condition; verifying the resistance level of this biotype to glyphosate (EPSPS inhibiting herbicide); verifying the existence of EPSPS-ALS multiple resistance, as well as crusade resistance between chemical groups of ALS-inhibiting herbicides; testing alternative herbicides for post-emergence control of this weed. Brazilian biotype of A. palmeri had fast phenological development, with beginning of flowering at 50 days after seeding. Species phenology was adjusted to the linear equation y =0,8866.x. In average, the maximum dry matter accumulated was 45 g plant-1, with edge of absolute growth at 60 DAS. In conclusion, growth parameters of the Brazilian biotype of A. palmeri were considered moderated when compared to national species of Amaranthus, as well as with international data of A. palmeri. Regarding to EPSPS inhibiting herbicides, it was possible to conclude that Brazilian biotype of A. palmeri is glyphosate resistant. Therefore, multiple resistance to EPSPS-ALS inhibiting herbicides was also identified. Considering exclusively ALS-inhibiting herbicides, this population has sulfonilurea-triazolopirimidine-imidazolinone crusade resistance. Plants were adequately controlled with the following herbicides (g ha-1): fomesafen at 250, lactofen at 168, mesotrione + atrazine at 120 + 1,500, tembotrione + atrazine a 75.6 + 1,500, ammonium-glufosinate at 400 and paraquat at 400. Phenological stage of 2 to 4 leaves, with up to 5 cm of height, was the most indicated to Palmer amaranth control.

Mobilising action through management email texts: the negotiation of evaluative stance through choices in discourse and grammar

Wee, Constance Wei-Ling, Languages & Linguistics, Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences, UNSW January 2009 (has links)
This thesis is concerned with explicating the role of language in mobilising action through management emails. Situated within the context of organisational change in a globalised manufacturing business, the project is framed by behavioural observations from management scholars Palmer and Hardy (2000) of mobilisation strategies that utilise linguistic resources since they: (a) involve a sense of obligation or inclination in directives; (b) show how co-operation will produce mutual benefits; (c) construct desired actions as legitimate, beneficial or inevitable; and (d) use past or anticipated meanings, for or against certain actions. Systemic Functional Linguistics is the underlying framework employed to provide a theoretically principled account of the intuitively derived observations from Palmer and Hardy (2000) which are applied to a sample of twenty-seven email texts, through corpus- and text-based analysis. A major finding is that the representation of action is enacted interpersonally through the verbal group. This view complements experientially dominated accounts of the verbal group which focus on the tense system. Further, action is found to be motivated through the negotiation of evaluative stance. By relating the grammar of the verbal group as well as other resources to the discourse semantics of Appraisal, modulation (of obligation or inclination) is found to be enabled by both negative as well as positive judgements of capacity. Specifically, judgements of capacity are re-interpreted as invocations of high obligation as managers seek to mobilise (further) positive performance. The analysis demonstrates that elements in the verbal group (complex) and Appraisal co-opt action through enabling positioning of the writer, in terms of assessing and grading categorical meanings, manipulating interpersonal time, or foregrounding solidarity. A significant contribution to the thesis is an extension of the system of GRADUATION: FOCUS (Hood, 2004a) through the demonstration of how resources of the verbal group negotiate expectations of appearances and achievements. This study has also extended the resources of GRADUATION: FORCE by applying it to the management context. The practical contribution of the study is that these insights may more explicitly inform management training and enable managers to participate more effectively within their community of practice.

EMERGENCE PATTERNS OF COMMON WATERHEMP AND PALMER AMARANTH IN SOUTHERN ILLINOIS

Franca, Lucas Xavier 01 August 2015 (has links)
The continued spread of glyphosate-resistant common waterhemp [Amaranthus tuberculatus (Moq.) Sauer (syn. rudis)] and Palmer amaranth [Amaranthus palmeri (S. Wats.)] have complicated weed control efforts in soybean and corn production in Illinois. A thorough understanding of the weed biology of these species is fundamental in developing effective weed management strategies. The determination of emergence patterns as well as the influence of tillage practices on soil microclimate and soil seed bank will allow control strategies to be implemented at the most effective timing. Field experiments were conducted in southern Illinois throughout the growing season of 2013 and 2014 on two separate sites with populations of common waterhemp and Palmer amaranth. Three tillage treatments were evaluated: no-tillage; early tillage, preferably performed around a recommended soybean planting date of May 1st; and late tillage, preferably performed on June 1st to simulate a late soybean planting. Amaranthus seedlings were identified and enumerated in the center 1 m2 quadrat of each plot within a 7-day interval from April through November or first frost. All weed seedlings were removed from the plot area after each enumeration. Soil temperature and soil moisture were recorded hourly throughout the experiment using data loggers established in the plot area. First emergence of common waterhemp occurred earlier in the season than did Palmer amaranth. In 2013, initial emergence of common waterhemp and Palmer amaranth was observed at the first and second week of May, respectively. In 2014, initial common waterhemp emergence was observed in late April, while Palmer amaranth initial emergence was similar to previous year. Palmer amaranth emerged over a longer period compared to waterhemp. By the end of June, 90% of common waterhemp had emerged regardless of tillage or year. By the same measure, Palmer amaranth emergence was extended to the third week of July and second week of August in 2013 and 2014, respectively. Soil temperature did not differ across tillage treatments in both years. On the other hand, differences in soil moisture were observed, mostly over two weeks following each tillage operation. The single best predictor for common waterhemp emergence was soil temperature (weekly highs and lows) followed by soil moisture. For Palmer amaranth emergence the single best predictor was spikes in soil moisture (high for the week). In 2013, common waterhemp emergence was initially positively and later in the growing season negatively interacted with maximum temperature 13 days prior to counts, with temperatures above 30 C observed with decreased emergence (R2 = 0.35). In the same year spikes in soil moisture interacted with Palmer amaranth emergence were those observed 11 days before each seedling enumeration date (R2 = 0.30). In 2014, with first common waterhemp emergence in April, a positive interaction to high soil temperature was initially observed followed by a positive interaction to minimum temperatures later in the season (R2 = 0.55). Spikes in soil moisture observed 2 weeks prior to emergence and weekly high temperatures 8 days prior to emergence were the best predictors of Palmer amaranth emergence in 2014 (R2 =0.37). Soil seed bank depletion was also estimated by comparing field emergence with greenhouse experiment results of soil seed bank estimation. Greater emergence of common waterhemp from the soil seed bank was observed in early tillage in 2013 and no-tillage in 2014 than late tillage, respectively; for Palmer amaranth, the greatest emergence from the soil seed bank was observed in no-tillage and late tillage in 2013, and no-tillage, in 2014. The emergence patterns observed in this research suggest that although common waterhemp and Palmer amaranth exhibit discontinuous emergence throughout the growing season, greater attention should be placed on managing peaks of emergence from late April to late July, which is critical to provide a foundation for early-season weed management. Furthermore, knowledge regarding the emergence patterns of common waterhemp and Palmer amaranth combined with monitoring environmental factors such as soil moisture and soil temperature may assist efforts for scouting fields to determine the likely presence of these weed species. The timing of viable postemergence herbicide options for control of glyphosate-resistant waterhemp and Palmer amaranth is critical and monitoring weather patterns to direct scouting efforts may improve the timeliness of these postemergence applications.

Expression of Glyphosate Resistance in Two Amaranthus Species as Influenced by Application Variables of Glyphosate

Kohrt, Jonathon 01 May 2013 (has links)
The expression of glyphosate resistance can vary within single field populations of common waterhemp and Palmer amaranth. This variability in expression can translate into control ranging from 20 to 80%, which could be the difference in a minor versus a major failure in weed management. Certain application parameters that have been previously associated with glyphosate efficacy, such as glyphosate application time of day and plant stress may exacerbate this variability and lead to failed control of plants on the lower end of the resistance spectrum. Greenhouse research was conducted in 2011 to determine the influence of glyphosate application time of day on the expression of resistance in common waterhemp and Palmer amaranth. Control of both glyphosate-susceptible (GS) and -resistant (GR) weed species showed similar trends in response to glyphosate with respect time of application. Decreased sensitivity of all Amaranthus biotypes was greatest at 9:00 pm and may be attributed to an observed shift in leaf orientation from horizontal to vertical at the time of glyphosate application in response to low-light conditions. The altered leaf orientation most likely reduced herbicide spray coverage. The magnitude of resistance, the difference in the sensitivity of the resistant versus susceptible biotypes, was unaffected by glyphosate application time of day; however, these results indicate that even in resistant populations glyphosate applied at suboptimal times of day such as the evening can cause a further increase in weed escapes from glyphosate. Greenhouse and field experiments were conducted in 2011 and 2012 to determine the influence the soil nutrient amendments on glyphosate sensitivity and growth rate and of GS and GR common waterhemp and Palmer amaranth. In both the GR and GS biotypes of common waterhemp the sensitivity to glyphosate was increased as fertilizer was introduced. However, only the sensitivity of the susceptible biotype of Palmer amaranth was increased with the addition of fertilizer. The lack of response in the GR Palmer amaranth population to fertilizer can be associated with the fact that due to carrier volume limitations enough glyphosate could not be applied to achieve 50% control. The magnitude of resistance was decreased numerically with the addition of fertilizer in both weed species; however, only in common waterhemp was the magnitude of resistance significantly different with the use of high rates fertilizer. The use of fertilizer also had an influence on the growth rate and dormancy of axillary buds. Lateral branching (broken dormancy in axillary buds) was increased in both common waterhemp and Palmer amaranth with the addition of fertilizer. Converting dormant buds to active meristems favors glyphosate translocation and could be responsible for increased glyphosate efficacy. In the field, glyphosate efficacy in GR common waterhemp and Palmer amaranth was also increased with addition of fertilizer; however, this effect was variable. Optimizing the efficacy of glyphosate when applied to even mixed populations of GS and GR Palmer amaranth and common waterhemp can reduce surviving weeds that can produce seed and perpetuate the frequency of glyphosate resistance in the field. Furthermore, greater efficacy of glyphosate may translate into relatively less significant failures in glyphosate applications allowing for successful rescue herbicide treatments and minimal impact on crop yield compared with a complete glyphosate failure with dramatic implications on reduced crop yield and increased weed seed production.

Essas pesquisas, cada uma a seu modo, impactaram significativamente a produção historiográfica mundial estabelecendo problemas, polêmicas e transformando as formas de se fazer história. Nesta tese foi estudado este impacto na historiografia brasileira dos anos 80, momento que inaugurou a apropriação sistemática do pensamento de Thompson e de Foucault pelos historiadores brasileiros e, também, quando ocorreram certas experimentações teórico-metodológicas singulares, como o uso simultâneo destes intelectuais desconsiderando suas diferenças epistemológicas. Para este empreendimento foram pesquisadas as teses e dissertações defendidas entre 1980 e 1990, nos programas de pós-graduação da USP, UNICAMP, UNESP (Assis), UFPR, UFF e UFRJ (abarcando cerca de 65% da produção total de monografias do período); bem como entrevistas, periódicos, livros, entre outros documentos atinentes ao assunto. Para atender as necessidades deste estudo, a exposição foi estruturada em duas partes: na primeira parte foram discutidos as experiências de vida, os livros, as concepções teórico-metodológicas, as atividades políticas, alguns dos principais interlocutores de Thompson e de Foucault e, enfim, foram verificadas as divergências e as aproximações entre eles. Na segunda parte foram examinados os diferentes elementos que constituíram a operação historiográfica brasileira na transição dos anos 70 para os anos 80 e que influenciaram a apropriação dos pensamentos do historiador inglês e do filósofo francês.

For this venture theses and dissertations defended between 1980 and 1990s in the post graduation programs at USP, UNICAMP, UNESP (Assis), UFPR, UFF e UFRJ, (covering about 65% of the total production of monographs of the period); as well as interviews, journals, books, among others documents relating to the subject. To attend the needs of this study the exposure was structured in two parts: the first part were discussed life experiences, books, theoretical-methodological conceptions, political activities, some of the main interlocutors of Thompson and Foucault and, finally, divergences and similarities between them were observed. In the second part were examined different elements that has constituted the Brazilian historiographical operation in the transition from 70 to 80 and that influenced the appropriation of the thoughts of the English historian and the French philosopher. These elements are related to institutional and ethical-political changes, the theoretical-methodological conceptions and predominant forms of writing, materials means of reception and the different speeches that sought to give direction to the appropriation process.

Variable-rate applications of soil-applied herbicides in corn and grain sorghum

Gundy, Garrison January 1900 (has links)
Master of Science / Department of Agronomy / Antonio R. Asebedo / Johanna A. Dille / Field experiments were conducted in 2016 and 2017 across nine locations in Kansas to develop and evaluate a procedure for variable-rate applications (VRA) of soil-applied herbicides in corn and grain sorghum based on soil properties. Soil electrical conductivity (EC) and soil organic matter (SOM) data were collected at each location using a Veris MSP3. Soil EC was correlated to soil texture and herbicide algorithms were developed for two different tank-mixes for corn and for grain sorghum. Three algorithms were evaluated in the field for each tank-mix based only on SOM (alg-SOM), SOM and soil texture (alg-SOMtex), or a flat rate based on the average soil properties for the entire field. Rates for each tank-mix were based on the maximum usage rate (MUR) allowed. When soil variability across a field was adequate, VRA based on algorithms were effective at five of the nine locations. Across these five locations, alg-SOM resulted in the same or better weed control at 8 weeks after treatment (WAT) compared to the flat rate and reduced herbicide use by 12% for both tank-mixes in grain sorghum. Using alg-SOMtex reduced herbicide use by 24% in grain sorghum, but had less weed control at several locations compared to the flat rate. VRA was practical at Morganville, KS in 2017. Both alg-SOM and alg-SOMtex increased the amount of herbicide applied compared to the flat rate, but alg-SOMtex resulted in greater Palmer amaranth control (92%) compared to the flat rate (71%). Separate greenhouse and field experiments were conducted in 2017 to evaluate the activity of soil-applied herbicides on controlling HPPD-inhibitor resistant Palmer amaranth populations. A dose-response greenhouse experiment of soil-applied mesotrione and isoxaflutole was performed using resistant (Stafford County) and susceptible (Riley County) Palmer amaranth populations. Reduced susceptibility was observed with resistant-to-susceptible ratios being 7.2 for mesotrione and 4.1 for isoxaflutole. Field experiments were conducted at two locations in KS with one field having HPPD-resistant (Barton County) and the other HPPD-susceptible (Reno County) Palmer amaranth populations. Treatments were three HPPD-inhibiting herbicides [mesotrione (¼X, ½X, and 1X = 210 g ha-1), isoxaflutole (½X and 1X = 105 g ha-1), and bicyclopyrone (1X = 50 g ha-1 and 2X in formulated tank-mix with bromoxynil at 700 and 1400 g ha-1)] in comparison to other soil-applied herbicides commonly used for Palmer amaranth control. HPPD-inhibitor treatments were applied alone and tank-mixed with atrazine (2240 g ha-1). Overall, control of Palmer amaranth was reduced for HPPD-resistant compared to -susceptible populations. All treatments of mesotrione and isoxaflutole at 4 WAT resulted in 81 to 99% control in Reno County, but only 55 to 89% control in Barton County. For mesotrione and isoxaflutole treatments across both sites, Palmer amaranth control at 4 WAT was greater when 1X was applied (89%) compared to 0.5X (81%). Tank-mixing atrazine with mesotrione and isoxaflutole increased Palmer amaranth control from 82 to 88%. Soil-applied HPPD-inhibitors were most effective when applied at field usage rate in combination with atrazine for both populations. When using soil-applied HPPD-inhibitors, management recommendations should be the same regardless of Palmer amaranth population.
