Field studies were conducted in 1987, 1988, and 1989 at Lethbridge, Alberta to determine suitable herbicides for the control of Russian thistle and kochia in field corn grown in a dryland cropping system. Soil-applied atrazine or cyanazine provided inconsistent control of these weeds under dryland conditions. Combining inter-row tillage or 2,4-D applied postemergence with soil-applied atrazine improved the consistency of weed control over years. Postemergence atrazine and dicamba plus 2,4-D controlled Russian thistle and kochia in all years. Corn yields reflected the level of weed control attained with each treatment. The suitability of the various treatments for weed control in corn grown under dryland crop production systems is discussed.

Com base neste enfoque o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a influência de lâminas de irrigação em sistemas de produção sobre a resistência a penetração da raiz (RP) e atributos químicos de um Latossolo Amarelo Distrófico, visando a implantação do sistema de integração lavoura-pecuária no Perímetro Irrigado Gurguéia, PI. O trabalho foi desenvolvido na Unidade Experimental da Embrapa Meio-Norte, em Alvorada do Gurguéia, PI, entre 2009/2010. Para avaliação dos sistemas de produção de milho e braquiária em condição solteira e consorciada foi instalado um experimento em faixa, que corresponde a duas lâminas de irrigação por aspersão (L1 = 647,9 mm e L2 = 564,5 mm), cada uma subdividida em blocos com plantio de milho, braquiária e consórcio milho + braquiária. Foram avaliados a RP e os atributos químicos nas profundidades de 0-10, 0,10-0,20 e 0,20-0,30 m. Para a caracterização química foram determinados o pH em água, cátions trocáveis, acidez trocável, fósforo disponível e matéria orgânica. Através dessas determinações foi possível constatar que os sistemas de produção do solo influenciaram a RP a partir da profundidade de 0-0,10 m com aumento da mesma em relação a mata nativa na seguinte sequência: milho > consórcio > braquiária. Dentre os sistemas de produção do solo, as maiores alterações nos atributos químicos foram verificadas no consórcio quando submetido a L1 e cultivo de braquiária quando submetida a L2 de irrigação. Palavras-chave: Zea mays, Brachiaria ruziziensis, Lâminas de irrigação.  DIÓGENES, L.

Based on this focus this work aimed to evaluate the following in production systems: the influence of irrigation blades on the resistance to penetrate the root (RP) and chemical attributes of a dystrophic yellow oxisol, aiming to the implantation of crop-livestock integration system at Gurguéia irrigated perimeter, PI. The work was developed at Embrapa experimental Middle-North unit, at Alvorada do Gurguéia, PI, between 2009/2010. To evaluate corn and Brachiaria production system under single and consortiated condition a stripe experiment was installed, this corresponds to two irrigation blades per sprinkling (L1 = 647.9 mm and L2 = 564.5 mm), each one subdivided in blocks with corn, Brachiaria and consortiated Brachiaria + corn. RP and other chemical attributes were evaluated at 0-10, 0.10-0.20 and 0.20-0.30 m depths. For chemical characterization, water pH, exchangeable cation, exchangeable acidity, phosphorus available and organic matter, were determined. Through these determinations it was possible to verify that soil production systems influenced RP from depth  0-0.10 m with increase of this in relation to native Forest in the following sequence: Corn > consortium > Brachiaria. Amongst soil production systems the greatest alterations in chemical attributes were verified in consortium when subjected to L1 and Brachiaria cultivation when subjected to L2 irrigation. Key-words: Zea mays, Brachiaria ruziziensis, Irrigation blades.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of maize (Zea mays) seed treatments for the control of Pratylenchus zeae under glasshouse conditions. Seeds of the maize hybrid DKB390 treated with thiametoxam, thiametoxam + abamectin and imidacloprid + thiodicarb were used as treatments. The treated maize seeds were sown in plastic cups containing soil inoculated with 200 nematodes (juveniles and females). Two of the four experiments that were done were evaluated at 60 and 90 days after sowing (DAS). The first experiment was evaluated 30, 60 and 90 DAS, and the fourth experiment only at 90 DAS. Fresh root mass and total nematodes extracted and counted from roots of each plant were used as the assessment criteria. All seed treatments tested showed a degree of efficacy in reducing the reproduction rates of P. zeae under glasshouse conditions. The imidacloprid + thiodicarb treatment showed consistent results in all replications of all four experiments, often being the one resulting in the lowest P. zeae density. The thiametoxam + abamectin treatment was also effective in reducing nematode numbers and differed significantly from the control treatments for all four experiments. Thiametoxam used on its own as a seed treatment proved to be as effective as the mixture with abamectin in two of the four experiments and does not provide consistent results in terms of reducing P. zeae population levels.

Longspine sandbur is a troublesome weed infesting corn in the Great Plains. However, herbicides are now available to control this species. This study characterized longspine sandbur ecology in irrigated corn to aid producers in integrating herbicides into their production systems. Longspine sandbur began emerging May 25, and by June 15, 84% of the seasonal emergence had occurred. Plant development was related to cumulative growing degree days. Seeds were viable early in longspine sandbur's development, with 20% of seeds viable by heading. Producers can minimize seed production of longspine sandbur in field borders by mowing plants at the boot stage. Bur production per plant was related to time of emergence, with seedlings emerging in late May producing 1,120 burs per plant. Seedlings emerging 4 wk later produced 84% fewer burs. Controlling longspine sandbur before 4 wk of interference prevented loss of corn grain yield.
