Predicting the Weed Control Efficacy of Photosynthesis Inhibitors by PPM Method

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse in Beijing, China, to determine whether weed control efficacy could be predicted based on Plant Photosynthesis Meter (PPM) values measured shortly after the application of photosynthesis inhibitors. The decrease of PPM values of the weed leaves treated with the mixture of atrazine and bentazone could be measured 1 day after treatment (DAT). The decreased extents depended on weed susceptibility and application dosage. There was significant correlation between the PPM values of the treated leaves 1 to 3 DAT and the biomass reduction 14 DAT. The experimental findings indicated that PPM values measured in early days after treatment could give reasonable prediction on weed control. The herbicide usually provided 90% control by weed biomass when PPM value was about 20 and relatively poor control when PPM value over 20.
