Experiments were conducted to determine the response of purple nutsedge tuber sprouting to diurnally alternating temperature. These experiments compared the response to alternating and constant temperatures and determined the effect of the amplitude of alternation and time of exposure to the maximum temperature. Tuber sprouting was more rapid and complete with alternating temperatures than with constant temperatures. Increasing temperature fluctuation from 0 to 6 C for 12 h daily linearly increased total tuber sprouting. As little as 30 min exposure to high temperature per day provided nearly the same level of sprouting as a 12 h alternating temperature cycle. This phenomenon should be considered when conducting studies to describe tuber temperature responses or when predicting tuber sprouting and emergence.

The acetanilide herbicides alachlor [2-chloro-N-(2,6-diethylphenyl)-N-(methoxymethyl)acetamide], metolachlor [2-chloro-N-(2-ethyl-6-methylphenyl)-N-(2-methoxy-1-methylethyl) acetamide], the ethyl ester of diethatyl [N-(chloroacetyl)-N-(2,6-diethylphenyl)glycine], or H-26910, the isopropyl ester ofN-(chloroacetyl)-N-(2-methyl-6-ethylphenyl)glycine, failed to inhibit yellow nutsedge (Cyperus esculentusL. ♯ CYPES) tuber sprouting in petri dishes. At 3.5 and 0.35 μM, all herbicides inhibited growth of newly emerging shoots. There was no significant difference in activity among alachlor, metolachlor, diethatyl ethyl, and R-26910 on yellow nutsedge sprouts grown in petri dishes. In soil, metolachlor and alachlor were equally effective for yellow nutsedge control. Both were more effective than H-26910 at high levels of soil organic matter. Diethatyl ethyl was least effective at all levels of soil organic matter. For all herbicides evaluated, activity decreased with increased levels of organic matter in the soil. For acetanilide herbicides to be effective on yellow nutsedge, they needed to be in the soil zone, above or at the level of the tuber.
