Effect of temperature on maize sensitivity to acetochlor
Abstract
75 words
This greenhouse study determined the effect of temperature
on the herbicide acetochlor. The herbicide was applied a day
after planting at the rates of 0.74, 1.47, 2.94 and 5.85 kg ha-1.
Plants were kept at three temperature: supra-optimal (35/28
0
C), optimal (28/18 0C) and sub-optimal (15/08 0C). Significant
interactions were observed for herbicide rate x temperature x
cultivars. Generally seedlings at the optimal and supra-optimal
temperatures grew faster and passed the seedling stage rapidly.
