Soil applied herbicides
|
Root inhibitors
Shoot inhibitors Shoot and root inhibitors |
|
Root inhibitors
|
-Dinitroanilines-"yellow" herbicides
-inhibit steps in plant cell division and result in fewer roots and club shaped roots -except for oryzalin have water solubility <1ppm and bind to soil so unlikely to leach -losses from volatilization and photodegradation on soil surfaces -trifluralin (Treflan), ethalfluralin (Sonalan), pendimethalin (Prowl), oryzalin (Surflan) |
|
 Shoot inhibitors
|
-soil applied for control of seedling grasses, some broadleaves and suppression of some perennials from tubers and rhizomes
-injury appears as malformed, dark green shoots and leaves -grass crops with some resistance can be protected with safeners and protectants -EPTC (Eptam), acetochlor (harness) |
|
Shoot and root inhibitors
|
-preplant incorporated, preemergence and sometimes early postemergence for control of annual grasses, and some broadleaves in small seeded legumes, established woody species, established turf, established herbaceous perennials
-pronamide (Kerb), dichlobenil (Casoron) |
|
Foliar-Applied, Symplastically Translocated Herbicides
|
Plant Growth Regulators
Amino Acid Synthesis Inhibitors Lipid Synthesis Inhibitors Pigment Inhibitors |
|
Plant Growth Regulators
|
-disrupt hormone balance and protein synthesis
-chlorosis, stoppage of growth, and distorted new growth are first symptoms and appear on new growth first -2,4-D, picloram (Tordon), dicamba (Banvel, Clarity), clopyralid (Stinger, Curtail), fluroxypyr (Starane) |
|
Amino Acid Synthesis Inhibitors
|
-prevent plants from producing specific amino acids
-symptoms include yellowing of new growth and death in days to weeks -glyphosate (Roundup) & sulfosate (Touchdown) affect production of aromatic amino acids -affect other sites of amino acid production: -SU (sulfonylurea) herbicides: sulfometuron (Oust), metsulfuron-methyl (Ally, Escort); high soil pH increases persistence, pHs below 6.8 increase chemical degradation -imidazolinone herbicides: imazapyr (Arsenal), imazethapyr (Pursuit); dry weather, cool temps and possibly low pH and high organic matter contribute to persistence in soil |
|
Lipid Synthesis Inhibitors
|
-prevent formation of fatty acids, essential for production of plant lipids vital to cell membranes and new plant growth
-leaves yellow, redden and sometimes wilt, seedling grasses tend to break at soil surface -grass herbicides: sethoxydim (Poast), clethodim (Select) |
|
Pigment Inhibitors
|
-prevent plants from forming photosynthetic pigments
-new growth turns white and sometimes tinged with pink or purple -clomazone (Command), fluridone (Sonar) and amitrole |
|
Upwardly Mobile Only Herbicides, Apoplastically Translocated
|
inhibit photosynthetic process and translocate apoplastically with water in the plant from the soil to the leaves
-symptoms appear bottom up, from oldest tissue to youngest tissue, chlorosis between veins followed by necrosis -foliar activity alone will only cause shoot death -excellent soil activity, persistence varies from weeks to months -atrazine, simazine and tebuthiuron (Spike) |
|
Non-translocated (Contact Herbicides)
|
-Cell Membrane Destroyers
-rapid disruption of cell membranes and very rapid kill (<1 week) -activated by sunlight to form hydrogen peroxide -partial coverage results in spotting and/or partial shoot kill, new growth on surviving plants will be normal -foliar activity alone can only provide shoot kill -paraquat (Gramoxone), diquat |
|
To be effective, herbicides must:
|
-adequately contact plants so good coverage by the spray mixture is essential
-be absorbed by plants -move within the plants to the site of action, without being deactivated -reach toxic levels at the site of action |
|
