Germination and seedling development of important crops as affected by methazol and dinitramine

Abstract: The effect of three concentrations ( 100, 500 and 1000 ppm ) of methazol and dinitramine on germination and seedling growth of cotton, wheat, berseem and horse beans was tested. In general, wheat was the crop most affected by both herbicides, while berseem was the most tolerant. Cotton and horse beans were moderately tolerant to both herbicides, especially at the lowest concentration tested ; horse beans being more susceptible than cotton and dinitramine being more toxic than methazol.
According to the results obtained in this study it is advised to use only the lowest concentrations possible of these herbicides for the control of cotton weeds. High concentrations may severely affect crops following cotton in rotation, especially wheat and horse beans, as the persistance of these two chemicals in Egyptian soils has not yet been fully investigated.
