Abstract

The methyl ester of diclofop {2-[4-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)phenoxy] propanoic acid} mixed with soil at 1, 2, and 3 ppmw reduced the growth of Bromus species in the greenhouse as follows: downy brome (Bromus tectorum L. ♯ BROTE) more than Japanese brome (Bromus japonicus Thunb. ex Murr. ♯ BROJA) more than cheat (Bromus secalinus L. ♯ BROSE). The decrease in herbicide effect (decay) over time was described better using a second-order equation than a first-order equation. Plant response-herbicide dose relationships were described best with a cubic polynomial equation.
