Invasive plants cause ecosystem degradation throughout the world, including the reduction of native plant density and diversity, and changes in ecosystem structure and function. Woody weeds often grow faster than native species and in invaded habitats produce larger and/or more seed and outshade other mid- and under-storey species. Boneseed Chrysanthemoides monilifera ssp. monilifera (L.) T. Norl. has caused the degradation of many temperate woodlands in Australia and has not yet reached its full potential distribution in this country. The control of this weed is therefore a high priority in Australia. Biological control agents have not controlled boneseed populations to date and no detailed integrated control strategies exist for different densities of mature boneseed plants and soil seed banks in native vegetation of varying levels of degradation. Fire, herbicides and manual plant removal have previously been used to control boneseed; however, substantial landscape scale control has not yet been achieved. Boneseed population control experiments were undertaken in two temperate woodlands in Victoria, Australia. In highly degraded temperate grassy woodlands at the You Yangs Regional Park west of Melbourne in Victoria and in a highly diverse native closed woodland at Arthurs Seat State Park in south-eastern Victoria. Several combinations of the weed control techniques of fire, herbicide application, hand-pulling of seedlings and distribution of competitive native grasses were found to control both mature boneseed populations and the large reserves of viable boneseed seeds in the soil. The efficacy of controlled burning, and the combination and timing of control techniques were found to vary according to differing densities of boneseed plants, viable soil seed banks and post-fire emergent seedlings. Where sufficient fine fuel existed, a warm, even, autumn burn consumed above ground biomass, killed the majority of viable boneseed seed in the soil, and caused the remaining boneseed seed to germinate. Spraying with glyphosate herbicide was as effective as metsulfuron-methyl herbicide for killing boneseed seedlings along with the secondary climbing weed Billardiera heterophylla (Lindl.) L.W.Cayzer & Crisp after fire. However, the use of glyphosate also killed all native species, resulting in bare ground. After fire in species rich vegetation, boneseed was eliminated where seed of the native C3 grass Poa sieberiana Spreng. had been broadcast onto the post fire ash-bed, and seedlings had been sprayed five months after the burn or where seedlings had been sprayed 12 months after burning. Boneseed control occurred when seedlings were sprayed five months after the burn. In degraded vegetation few boneseed seedlings remained where seedlings were sprayed 17 months after fire. Where insufficient rainfall occurred, hand-pulling flowering boneseed seedlings prevented new seed fall for 6 to 12 months. Suggestions are made for the integration of these methods with the establishment and proliferation of biological control agents. A new protocol for utilising several integrated control strategies for boneseed and other woody weeds in a mosaic at both the site and landscape scale is described. A mosaic would allow for a variety of native species responses to fire and other control methods and thus lead to heterogeneous ages and structures within the native vegetation following weed control. / http://proxy.library.adelaide.edu.au/login?url= http://library.adelaide.edu.au/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?BBID=1457770 / Thesis (Ph.D.) - University of Adelaide, School of Agriculture, Food and Wine, 2009

CNPQ / A atrazina (2-cloro-4-etilamino-6-isopropilamino-striazina) é um herbicida mundialmente utilizado no controle de plantas daninhas, com potencial para contaminar águas subterrâneas e prejudicar culturas sensíveis em sucessão. O uso de formulações de liberação lenta de atrazina poderia se constituir estratégia mitigadora do impacto ambiental e contribuir para a melhoria da eficiência de controle de plantas daninhas. Com o objetivo de determinar o comportamento ambiental e a eficiência agronômica de formulação de atrazina com liberação lenta (xerogel), comparando-a com formulação comercial, foram realizados um experimento a campo e três bioensaios em casa de vegetação. O experimento a campo foi implantado com a cultura do milho, utilizando-se o delineamento de blocos ao acaso, em parcelas subdivididas, em um esquema (2 x 6) + 4. Nas parcelas principais foram locadas as formulações (atrazina WG e atrazina xerogel), e nas subparcelas as concentrações de atrazina (0, 3200, 3600, 4200, 5400 e 8000 g ha-1), com acréscimo de quatro parcelas testemunha capinadas. Amostras de solo foram coletadas nas parcelas com 8000 g ha-1 para realização de bioensaios em casa de vegetação para avaliação da persistência e lixiviação das formulações. Nos bioensaios, o delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado. No experimento a campo, avaliou-se a densidade e o controle visual de plantas daninhas e o rendimento de grãos de milho. Nos bioensaios, as principais variáveis avaliadas foram estatura, fitotoxicidade, massas de planta verde e seca. No primeiro bioensaio, selecionou-se a espécie cultivada mais adequada para utilização em testes para determinação da lixiviação e persistência das formulações de atrazina. No experimento a campo, a formulação WG exerceu maior controle de B. plantaginea que xerogel nas avaliações de mais precoces, mas nas avaliações mais tardias a atrazina xerogel foi mais eficiente. Não ocorreram diferenças de rendimento de grãos de milho entre as formulações e doses testadas. O grau de sensibilidade à atrazina variou de acordo com a espécie: quiabo e ervilha apresentaram pequena sensibilidade; aveia e trigo apresentaram nível intermediário e tomate e rabanete o mais alto nível de sensibilidade à presença de atrazina no solo. A biodisponibilização de atrazina ao solo variou em função do tempo e da formulação: até 5 dias após a aplicação, a disponibilização com a formulação xerogel foi maior; no período entre 14 e 28 dias, a biodisponibilização por atrazina WG foi superior à por xerogel; aos 35 dias após a aplicação, xerogel proporcionou maior atrazina ao solo do que WG. A meia vida foi de 30 e 38 dias, para atrazina WG e atrazina xerogel, respectivamente. Maior concentração de atrazina foi encontrada na superfície do solo (0 a 4 cm), nas duas formulações. Porém, a quantificação de atrazina por bioensaio indicou maior concentração da formulação WG entre 2 e 4 cm, em contraste com o resultado da análise cromatográfica, que indicou maior concentração da formulação xerogel. / Atrazine (2-chloro-4-ethylamine-6-isopropylamine-striazina) is an herbicide used worldwide to control weeds with potential to contaminate groundwater and harm sensitive crops in succession. The use of controlled release formulations of atrazine could be a strategy to mitigate environmental impact and contribute to improving the efficiency of weed control with atrazine. Aiming to determine the environmental performance and agronomic efficiency of atrazine formulation of controlled release (xerogel), compared with the commercial formulation were conducted one experiment in the field and three bioassays in greenhouse. The field experiment was implemented with the corn, using randomized blocks design, with split plots in a scheme (2 x 6) + 4. In the main plots were located formulations (atrazine xerogel and WG), and in sub-plots the atrazine concentrations (0, 3200, 3600, 4200, 5400 and 8000 g ha-1), with four additional control plots weeded. Soil samples were collected from each plot with 8000 g ha-1 for bioassays in the greenhouse to evaluate the persistence and leaching of the formulations. The experimental designs of bioassays were completely randomized. In the field experiment, we evaluated the density and visual control of weeds and yield of maize. In bioassays, the main variables were height, phytotoxicity, green and dry plant mass. In the first bioassay was selected cultivated species most suitable for use in tests to determine the persistence and leaching of atrazine formulations. In the field experiment, the formulation WG produced greater control of B. plantaginea than xerogel in earlier assessments, but in later assessments atrazine xerogel was more effective. There were no differences in grain yield of maize between the formulations and doses tested. The degree of sensitivity to atrazine varied according to species: okra and peas showed little sensitivity; oats and wheat had an intermediate; radish and tomato had the highest level of sensitivity to the presence of atrazine in soil. The bioavailability of atrazine to soil varied depending on the time and formulation: until 5 days after application, atrazine disponibility by xerogel formulation was higher and in period between 14 and 28 days, the bioavailability of atrazine by WG was higher than by xerogel; 35 days after application, atrazine xerogel showed higher disponibility than the WG. The half-life was 30 and 38 days for atrazine WG and xerogel, respectively. Higher concentrations of atrazine were found in surface soil (0-4 cm) in two formulations. However, the quantification of atrazine by bioassay indicated a greater concentration of WG formulation between 2 and 4 cm, in contrast with the results of chromatographic analysis, which indicated a greater concentration of the xerogel formulation.

Os solos dos ensaios com a soja e a cana-de-açúcar tiveram as seguintes características, respectivamente, 46% e 23% da argila; 12% e 13% do silte; 42% e 64% da areia 4% e 1% de MO e com pHs de 5,.8 e 6,4. As experiências foram projetadas em blocos ao acaso com 5 repetições. As amostras do solo foram coletadas na profundidade de 0-10cm, de 0-704 DAT (23 amostras) e de 0-539 DAT (24 amostras) nos experimentos de cana-de-açúcar e soja, respectivamente. A persistência do sulfentrazone foi avaliada por bioensaios usando a beterraba como a planta do teste. No ensaio com a cana-deaçúcar, os efeitos do sulfentrazone na beterraba foram detectados até 601 e 704 DAT para 0,6 e 1,2 kg a.i./ha, respectivamente. No ensaio com a soja, foram observados, os efeitos das mesmas doses até 376 e 539 DAT. Pelas análises das diversas características de desenvolvimento nas nas culturas que sucederam a soja, foi demonstrado que o resíduo do sulfentrazone afetou crescimento e o rendimento das culturas de milheto e aveia; por outro lado, o girassol e o feijão não foram afetados; o trigo foi afetado, somente, pela dose mais elevada. / This research was carried out in Campinas – SP / Brazil and had as objective to study the residual effects and persistence of sulfentrazone in sugarcane and soybean ecosystems and the toxicity of the residues of this herbicide to millet, sunflower, oats, wheat and beans cultivated in succession to soybean.

A primeira, composta por quatro ensaios, constou da aplicação de glyphosate (360 g e.a.L-1) em eucalipto. Em todos os ensaios, mudas foram transplantadas em vasos de 5,0 L. Nos ensaios 1 e 2, foram aplicados volumes de glyphosate no caule do eucalipto. No primeiro ensaio, uma solução de glyphosate na concentração de 3% (v/v) foi aplicada nas doses: 0, 1, 5, 10, 20, 40, 80 e 160 L.planta-1 e, no segundo, a solução a 2% (v/v) foi aplicada nas doses de: 0, 1, 5, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120 e 150 L.planta-1. Nos ensaios 3 e 4, foram feitas aplicações de glyphosate sobre o eucalipto. No ensaio 3 as doses foram: 0, 7,2.10-7, 7,2.10-6, 7,2.10-5, 7,2.10-4, 7,2.10-3, 7,2.10-2, 7,2.10-1, 7,2, 72, 360 e 720 g e.a de glyphosate.ha-1 e, no ensaio 4, as doses foram: 0, 9, 18, 36, 72, 144, 288, 432, 576, 720, 1080, 1440 e 2160 g e.a de glyphosate.ha-1. Nos quatro ensaios foi utilizado o delineamento DIC, com três repetições. Nas plantas foram avaliadas: altura, área foliar, matéria seca de caule e folhas. Os resultados obtidos foram submetidos a análises de regressao. Na segunda etapa, conduzida em campo, o mesmo clone de eucalipto foi plantado em 02/04/2004. Aos 1, 3, 5, 7 e 9 meses após o plantio (MAP), doses 0, 36, 72, 144, 288, 432 g e.a.ha-1 de glyphosate foram aplicadas sobre as plantas. O experimento foi montado em faixas de épocas de aplicação e doses do herbicida. As faixas tinham duas linhas de eucalipto por noventa metros, totalizando 90 plantas. Aos 10, 13, 26, 48 e 62 MAP foram feitas avaliações de altura e diâmetro. Com essas variáveis calculou-se o volume cilíndrico de madeira com casca. Ao final do ensaio (68 meses) foram feitas análises químicas de extrativos, lignina total, holoceluse e densidade basica da madeira nas doses de glyphosate aplicadas aos 5 MAP.

The first, composed of four trials, consisted of the application of glyphosate (360 g a.e.L-1) on eucalyptus. In all the tests, seedlings were transplanted to pots of 5.0 L. In trials 1 and 2, it was applied volumes of glyphosate on the eucalyptus stem. In the first test, a glyphosate solution at 3% (v/v) concentration was applied in the. doses: 0, 1, 5, 10, 20, 40, 80 and 160 4.plant-1 and, in the second, the solution at 2% (v/v) was applied in the doses of: 0, 1, 5, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 viL.plant-1. In the trials 3 and 4, it was made applications of glyphosate on eucalyptus. In the trial 3 doses were 0, 7,2.10-7, 7,2.10-6, 7,2.10-5, 7,2.10-a, 7,2.10-3, 7,2.10-2, 7,2.10-1, 7,2, 72, 360 e 720 g a.e of glyphosate.ha-1 and, in trial 4, the doses were: 0, 9, 18, 36, 72, 144, 288, 432, 576, 720, 1080, 1440 and 2160 g e.a of glyphosate.ha-1. In the fourth tests it was used the randomized completely design, with three replicates. Plants were evaluated by height, leaf area, dry matter of stem and leaves. The results obtained were submitted to regression analyzes. In the second stage, conducted in the field, the same eucalyptus clone was planted in 04-02-2004. At 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 months after planting (MAP), doses 0, 36, 72, 144, 288, 432 g e.a.ha-1 of glyphosate were applied on the plants. The experiment was installed in strip tests of varying herbicide doses. The strips had two lines of eucalyptus by ninety meters, total of 90 plants. At 10, 13, 26, 48 and 62 MAP assessments were held in height and diameter. With these variables it was calculated the wood volume with bark. At the end of the trial (68 months) it was performed chemical analysis of extractives, lignin total holoceluse and basic wood density at doses of glyphosate applied at 5 MAP. It was also evaluated the wood cooking, in all times of application and doses of glyphosate... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Doutor

To avoid these problems is essential to understand the dynamics of the herbicide in the soil. Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the dynamics of ametryn in five soils of sugar cane region of Northeast Brazil: Quartzipsamment; Ultisol; Spodosol; Oxisol and Cambisol. The first experiment evaluated the leaching ametryn in said soil by means of liquid chromatography and bioassay. It was observed that the leaching of the herbicide was influenced by the physicochemical characteristics of the soil, with the following leaching potential sequence: Quartzipsamment> Oxisol> Ultisol> Cambisol> Spodosol and the Quartzipsamment showed higher concentration of ametryn the layer 5 to 10 cm deep, indicating possible loss of agronomic efficiency and contamination of groundwater. The second experiment evaluated the persistence of ametryn in soils mentioned by bioassays and liquid chromatography. It was noted that the persistence of the herbicide varied depending on the physical and chemical properties of the soil, with a halflife (t ½) of 49 days to Quartzipsamment, 35 days for Ultisol, 28 days for Spodosol, Oxisol and Cambisol. Intoxication visual symptoms caused by ametryn occurred up to 133 days to Quartzipsamment and Spodosol, 168 days for Ultisol, Oxisol and Cambisol / O uso de herbicidas sem os conhecimentos básicos de suas interações com o solo e clima representa alto risco de contaminação ambiental e redução da biodiversidade. Para evitar esses problemas é fundamental compreender a dinâmica do herbicida no solo. Dois experimentos foram conduzidos, visando avaliar a dinâmica do ametryn em cinco solos da região canavieira do Nordeste brasileiro: Neossolo Quartzarênico; Argissolo; Espodossolo; Latossolo e Cambissolo. O primeiro experimento avaliou-se a lixiviação do ametryn nos referidos solos por meio de bioensaios e cromatografia líquida. Observou-se que a lixiviação do herbicida foi influenciada pelas características físico-químicas dos solos, apresentando a seguinte sequência de potencial de lixiviação: Neossolo Quartzarênico> Latossolo> Argissolo> Cambissolo> Espodossolo e que o Neossolo Quartzarênico apresentou maior concentração do ametryn na camada de 5 a 10 cm de profundidade, indicando possibilidade de perda da eficiência agronômica e contaminação de águas subterrâneas. O segundo experimento avaliou-se a persistência do ametryn nos solos mencionados por meio de bioensaios e cromatografia líquida. Observou-se que a persistência do herbicida variou em função dos atributos físicos e químicos dos solos, com meia-vida (t½) de 49 dias para o Neossolo Quartzarênico, 35 dias para o Argissolo, 28 dias para Espodossolo, Latossolo e Cambissolo. Sintomas visuais de intoxicação causados pelo ametryn ocorreram até aos 133 dias para o Neossolo Quartzarênico e Espodossolo, 168 dias para o Argissolo, Latossolo e Cambissolo

This thesis is aimed at biology, presence and methods of weeds regulation on a land planted with permanent grasses. Lately, ruderal weed species have been spreading uncontrollably throughout the lawns. It is very difficult to control their occurrence and also very economically challenging. Therefore, the farms should focus more on the possibilities of preventing excessive weed infestation and they should also define and apply the cheapest and the most favorable precautions. On the grassland, which belongs to the ZD Třebelovice, were observed the most abundant weed species. The weeds which occurred the most were: Taraxacum Officinale, Rumex Obtusifolius L, Ranunculus Repens L., Geranium Pratense L., and Urtica dioica L. The influence of the individual hay cuts on the occurrence of the chosen weed species was monitored. The influence of various herbicides was also the matter of observance. The componential task was to appraise the achieved effect after applying chosen herbicides on the weed species.

The degree work describes the biology and morphology of the weed plants, which are found in maize vegetation most frequently, as well as their spreading and possible regulation. Based on the findings acquired, the methods of chemical and mechanical regulation are described. The degree work describes briefly both the plant of maize itself and the process of its growing. The attempt took place on the school farm of the Agricultural School in Tábor; a small plot attempt was carried out at the same place. The frequency of the occurrence of weed species on the selected small plots was evaluated in the hybrids of maize (Zea mays). The degree work contains data on the extent of the occurrence of weeds on individual plots, on which the individual hybrids of maize were compared with one another. It also includes an economic evaluation and possible measures to eliminate the spreading of weeds.
