1 Weed Control with Herbicides in Alaska: Some Concerns Steven Seefeldt

2 Acres Mean Farm Size in the USA Year

3 Weed Control is the Key 1731 Jethro Tull wrote Horse Hoeing Husbandry Plant crops in rows Use horse drawn hoe to weed Use fertilizers (horse manure) to enhance crop growth He developed farm equipment, started research, and wrote widely By early 1970 s was a band with a flute

4 Weed Control Classification Physical Cultural Biological Chemical

5 Weed Control Classification Physical Hand pulling and hoeing Fire Flame Chaining and Dredging Flooding Mulching and Solarization Tillage/Disturbance Mowing and Shredding

6 Weed Control Classification Cultural Prevention Crop rotation Competition Smother crops Living mulches and cover crops Harvesting

7 Weed Control Classification Biological Grazing Mycoherbicides Allelopathy

8 Weed Control Classification Chemical Herbicides

9 Pesticides Herbicides Fungicides Insecticides Rodenticides Biocides Etc.

10 Toxicology Caution Warning Danger

15 Log-logisitic equation y=c+ D-C 1+exp[b(log(x)-log(I ))] 50 D = Upper limit C = Lower limit b = Related to slope I = Dose giving 50% response 50 Seefeldt et al. 1995

19 Factors affecting pesticide fate Volatilization Plant uptake and removal Photodecomposition Runoff Microbial degradation Chemical degradation Absorption Leaching

20 How do herbicides kill plants? Basically it is a chemical reaction 2,4-D Roundup Paraquat Garlon Glean

21 What Roundup (glyphosate) does

22 Chorismate is turned into one of the three aromatic amino acids

23 What Roundup (glyphosate) does

27 Fate of Herbicides The half life The time it takes to lose half the herbicide

30 Fate of Herbicides Photo-decomposition (treflan)

31 Fate of Herbicides Photo-decomposition (treflan) Adsorption (paraquat)

32 Fate of Herbicides Photo-decomposition (treflan) Adsorption (paraquat) Plant metabolism (tolerant versus susceptible plants)

33 Fate of Herbicides Photo-decomposition (treflan) Adsorption (paraquat) Plant metabolism (tolerant versus susceptible plants) Chemical (soil and weather dependent)

34 Fate of Herbicides Photo-decomposition (treflan) Adsorption (paraquat) Plant metabolism (tolerant versus susceptible plants) Chemical (soil and weather dependent) Microbial decomposition (most important)

35 Environmental Influences Soil ph it depends on the herbicide Soil organic matter adsorbs herbicide Clay adsorbs most herbicides Soil chemistry hard to separate microbes Cold slows breakdown Dry slows breakdown

36 Fate of Triclopyr

37 Results: Delta Junction CRP 0-5 cm Soil froze about 110 DAT and thawed about 276 DAT cm cm

38 Biomass as percent of control A comparison of herbicide extraction from the soil and a bio-assay DAT 35 DAT 283 DAT DAT 7 DAT 60 1 DAT 3 DAT Triclopyr concentration (kg ai/ha)

39 Fate of 2,4-D and Glyphosate Similar to triclopyr with normal breakdown rates in the growing season, but cessation when soils freeze

40 Aminopyralid and Clopyralid Use in Alaska Control of invasive weeds Spot spraying for perennial sowthistle Control of orange hawkweed and narrowleaf hawksbeard in pastures and hay fields

41 Background Aminopyralid and Clopyralid Both are synthetic auxins Auxin is a plant hormone Involved in cell division Involved in cell growth Auxins move in the phloem to the growing points

42 Background Aminopyralid and Clopyralid Both are synthetic auxins Auxin is a plant hormone Involved in cell division Involved in cell growth Auxins move in the phloem to the growing points Both control orange hawkweed and narrowleaf hawksbeard

43 Background Clopyralid Discovered 1961 Sold in 1978 in Europe Sold in 1987 in US Curtail, Stinger, Confront

45 Background Aminopyralid Sold as Milestone Still on patent Expensive Sold about 2005

46 Background Aminopyralid Sold as Milestone Still on patent Expensive Sold about 2005 Used in rice, pastures rangeland, ROW, wheat, oil palm, and rubber plantations Half life 25 to 35 days (averages) Photodegradation then microbial

47 Orange Hawkweed Study Five sites, Talkeetna and Homer Plots 6 x 30 feet Three herbicides at three rates (1, ½, and ¼ the full rate plus a control) Three replications of each of the above treatments Randomized complete block

48 2007 Field Trials Pre-treatment Measurements: Two ¼ x ¼ m sub-plots per plot % cover estimates of orange hawkweed, grasses, and forbs Post-treatment Measurements: Rate plots visually based on herbicide damage, 0% (no damage) to 100% (dead) after three weeks End of season harvest ¼ x ¼ m sub-plots and separate by cover type Rate plots visually the following year

68 Is there Herbicide in the Tuber?

69 Is there herbicide in the tuber? Tubers were sent to the Montana Department of Agriculture Laboratory at Montana State University to extract the herbicide Dr. Rick Boydston with ARS in Prosser, WA funded the work ($150/sample)

70 Amount extracted (ppm) Extraction Results Delta Palmer Aminopyralid rate (1 = 7 fl oz/a)

71 Is that Herbicide Herbicidal?

72 Is that Herbicide Herbicidal? Aminopyralid

73 Is that Herbicide Herbicidal? clopyralid

74 Conclusion Aminopyralid and clopyralid management Their residues are in the plant and soil They pass through ruminants unchanged They will accumulate in potato tubers Some plants are more sensitive than others There are potential bioassays Half lives are currently unknown

75 Conclusion Other herbicides In the growing season several herbicides breakdown at rates estimated in the literature When soils are frozen herbicide breakdown ceases Therefore, overall herbicide half-lives are extended in Alaska, particularly in the interior
