We studied the effectiveness of glyphosate [N-(phosphono-methyl)glycine] for the control ofOrobanchespp. in the field when applied to the crop foliage prior to the emergence of the parasite. The bestOrobanchecontrol in October-sown carrots (Daucus carotaL.) parasitized byOrobanche crenataForsk. andO. aegyptiacaPers. and in December-sown broad bean (Vicia fabaL.) and peas (Pisum sativumL.) parasitized byO. crenatawas obtained by spraying twice, 2 weeks apart, in late January and in February, respectively. Carrot root yield remained unaffected by glyphosate at rates up to 200 g/ha. In heavily infested fields, carrots were irreversibly damaged by earlyOrobancheparasitism. The highest yields of pods of broad beans occurred after two or three applications of 150 g/ha glyphosate. Peas were seriously damaged by 150 g/ha. Two or three sprays of 50 g/ha glyphosate resulted in the highest green-kernel yield of pea where the soil was not heavily infested. Glyphosate effectively reducedO. cernuaLoeffl. emergence in non-irrigated tomatoes (Lycopersicum esculentumMill.), but was very phytotoxic to the crop. Glyphosate was highly effective in controllingOrobanchespp.; however, marginal selectivity may be sufficient in some crops and not in glyphosate-susceptible ones.
Summary: Résumé: Zusammenfassung Ethylene dibromide effectively controlled Orobanche crenata Forsk. and O. cernua Loefl. but was not effective against O. aegyptiaca Pers. and O. mutelii F. Schultz. Chloropicrin was considerably less effective than ethylene dibromide. Mixtures of both compounds did not result in improved broomrape control but nonetheless had a positive effect on crop yield. Destruction des Orobanches avec du dibromure d'ethylène et de la chloropicrine Le dibromure d'éthylène a été efficace contre Orobanche crenata Forsk et O. Cernua Loefl, mais non efficace contre O. aegyptiaca Pers, et O. mutelii F. Schultz. La chloropicrine est beaucoup moins efficace que le dibromure d'ethylène. Les mélanges des deux matières actives n'ont pas amélioré l'efficacité sur orobanches mais néanmoins ont eu un effet positif sur le rendement de la culture. Bekämpfung von Orobanche‐Arten mit Ethylendi‐bromid und Chlorpikrin Mit Ethylendibromid konnten Orobanche crenata Forsk. und O. cernua Loefl., aber nicht O. aegyptica Pers. und O. mutelii F. Schultz bekämpft werden. Chlorpikrin war beträchtlich weniger wirksam. Mischungen der beiden Wirkstoffe ergaben keine bessere Wirkung, beeinflussten aber den Ertrag der Kulturpflanzen positiv.
Ten compounds applied as foliar spray were screened for reducing and delaying bolting in fall-planted carrots (Daucus carota L.). Only butanedioic acid mono-(2,2-dimethylhydrazide) (daminozide) was effective; seedstalk height was reduced and root size was unaffected. Daminozide effectiveness was greatest in weak-bolting cultivars. Two sprays of 5000 ppm, 2 weeks apart at about 4 and 2 weeks prior to natural bolting were most effective, suggesting that daminozide does not interfere in the cold temperature induction process, but rather has a delaying and inhibitory effect on the initial seedstalk elongation. Two sprays of 500 liters/ha of daminozide solution of 5000 ppm gave promising results. Root quality was improved without influencing carrot yield or dry matter content. Although (2-chloroethyl)trimethymammonium chloride (chlormequat) suppressed bolting in some experiments, it was less effective than daminozide at comparable rates and higher rates decreased yield.
