Optimization of the metham-sodium dose in controlling Verticillium dahliae in potato

Optimization of the metham-sodium dose in controlling Verticillium dahliae in potato. Ben-Yephet, Y.; Frank, Z. (Dep. Plant. Pathol., ARO, Bet Dagan, Israel). Phytoparasitica, 12(3-4), 203-5 (English) 1984. CODEN: PHPRA2. ISSN: 0334-2123. DOCUMENT TYPE: Journal CA Section: 5 (Agrochemical Bioregulators) In fields naturally infested with V. dahliae, metham-sodium [137-42-8], at 400, 600 and 800 L/ha, delayed and reduced disease incidence at all doses tested, compared with the control; this effect was max. at 800 L/ha. However, an optimal yield was obtained at 600 L/ha.

Chemical aids to drying seeds of beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) before harvest

Chemical aids to drying seeds of beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) before harvest. Hole, C. C.; Hardwick, R. C. (Natl. Veg. Res. Stn., Wellesbourne/Warwick, Engl.). Ann. Appl. Biol., 88(3), 421-7 (English) 1978. CODEN: AABIAV. ISSN: 0003-4746. DOCUMENT TYPE: Journal CA Section: 5 (Agrochemicals) In small-plot expts., 0.3-0.59 kg diquat [2764-72-9], 0.56 kg paraquat [4685-14-7], 15 kg dimexan [1468-37-7], 0.56 kg UNI-N 252 [55290-64-7], and 70 kg metham Na [137-42-8]/ha, as well as ethephon-diquat mixt. [67725-80-8] (1 + 0.3 kg/ha) decreased the seed moisture content of navy bean (Phaseolus vulgaris). Diquat, dimexan, and UNI-N 252 decreased the yield, and diquat caused seed staining. Diquat, dimexan, and ethephon [16672-87-0] caused desiccation of French bean.
