Synopsis
The chloride content of these waters ranged from 4 to 55 ppm. The average increase in percent chlorine in the cured leaf was 0.009 for each pound of chlorine added by the irrigation water. The smoking quality of the tobacco was lowered when the irrigation water contained 225 ppm chloride ions but the commercial grade was not affected significantly by chloride in the water.
Madeira vine is an environmental weed with both aerial and subterranean tubers and is listed as a Surveillance Plant Pest by ManawatuWanganui Regional Council A field trial showed mature vines and their attached tubers were best controlled using metsulfuronmethyl although reasonable control was also provided by a triclopyr/picloram mixture and by glyphosate The control of regrowth from buried tubers was investigated in a glasshouse trial Herbicides that gave good control of 3monthold plants included the above herbicides and also tribenuronmethyl fluroxypyr and amitrole For eradication purposes treatments were assessed for destroying aerial tubers collected from isolated plants Tubers were killed by freezing by heating to temperatures of 80C or above for 24 h or by boiling for a few minutes but any pulverisation techniques needed to be thorough Tubers immersed momentarily in high concentrations of picloram triclopyr or fluroxypyr did not regrow after burial
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
