Early Pruning of Eucalyptus Plants Using Glufosinate Ammonium

Abstract

Small changes in glufosinate, glutamate and ammonia levels were found, in eucalyptus plants. The treated eucalyptus plants had defoliation above 80% and 90% pruning with glufosinate application. Pruning using glufosinate ammonium not reduced growth in eucalyptus plants. Glufosinate can be used for chemical artifi cial pruning of eucalyptus plants since it does not affect their physiology and growth.

Glufosinate Resistance Level is Proportional to Phosphinothricin Acetyltransferase Gene Expression in Glufosinate-Resistant Maize

“…Glufosinate-sensitive plants, when sprayed with this herbicide, show an increase in ammonia levels, as does maize glufosinate-sensitive hybrid, due to the permanent binding of glufosinate to GS. ,, The accumulation of ammonia resulting from glufosinate application was observed in species glufosinate-sensitive, such as Ipomoea grandifolia , Commelina benghalensis , Bidens pilosa , Chenopodium album , Solanum nigrum , Tripleurospermum inodorum and Echinochloa crus-galli , Abutilon theophrasti , Amaranthus palmeri and in crops such maize, rice, eucalyptus and wheat …”
