Selective Study Uriged
In Using Weed Chemicals
By CENE WINTERS
County Extension Agent
Wheat growers have more and
bettor herbicides available to
them than ever before. Most of
the newer weed killing chemi
cals have more exacting times
of application for satisfactory re
sults. Nearly all of the newer
herbicides registered for weed
control In wheat have been de
veloped to take care of the
weeds, which 2,4-D hasn't been
able to handle.
Growers need to know more
about weeds and herbicides to
make the most economic use of
chemical weed control measures.
Most herbicides or weed kill
ers in common use are selective
In action. Selective herbicides re
fer to a chemical that is more
toxic to one plant than to an
other. When such a herbicide la
applied to a mixture of plants,
some may be killed and others
may be affected only slightly or
not at all.
Selectivity is based upon spe
cific factors Involved in the
physical and chemical makeup
of the plant.
Herbicides used In Morrow
county for control of weeds In
wheat have shown selectivity
under research trials In the area
Stage of weed growth is the
most Important consideration
when choosinc a herbicide.
In general, 2,4-D controls most
annual mustards, pigweed
lambs quarter, bachelors button
fiddleneck (tarweed), and most
buttercups. These weeds not
adequately controlled are pur
ple mustard, gromwell, honbit
little bur, duckweeds, and 111
are.
MCPA controls most purple
mustards, pigweeds, lambs
quarter, and most buttercups.
but does not give satisfactory
control of fiddleneck and those
listed as unsatisfactory under
2A u. bromoxynil controls such
weeds as jjromwell, fiddleneck
(tarweed), blue (purple must
ard), most annual mustards
lambs quarter, pigweed, and
knotweed. Weeds not controlled
are tansy mustard, jagged
cnicKweed, and mare.
Grain Movement
Slows in March
Grain inspections made by
the Oregon Department of As
riculture in March were below
those of February of this year,
but above those for March, 19G7.
Incoming grain inspected at
Portland and Astoria totaled
290,101 tons compared with 323
116 tons this February and 217,
457 tons In March a year ago.
A total of 257,160 tons of grain
were weighed and inspected for
export this March and in Febru
ary 296,031 tons were weighed
and inspected. The figure for
March, 1967, was 205,342 tons.
At Pendleton 7,380 tons of in
coming grain were weighed and
inspected during March, and 18,
180 tons inspected and diverted.
Merrill had 5,571 tons weighed
and diverted.
Wheat is Seized
By Ag Department
A truckload of wheat arriving
in Portland from Fairfield, Ida
ho, has been seized by the Ore
gon Department of Agriculture
because it was found to contain
wheat treated with mercury.
Allen G. Plummer, chief of the
aepartmont s grain division, said
the grain will be released only
for use as seed or to be des
troyed. Involved are 53,830
pounds.
The department also seized
some 45 tons of wheat trucked
into the state from California
and that was found to contain
bird droppings. This is being
heat treated and will then be
released for use as animal feed.
Dicamba (Banvel D) Rives
adequate control of sucn 2,4-D
resistant weeds as corn cockle,
cow cockle, and knotweed, but
weeds such as mustards, tar
weed, and gromwell have shown
resistance. Dicamba, plus 2,4-D
provides a wider selection oi
control. Other mixtures are be
coming more popular.
Timing of applications have
much to do with control accom
plished. MCPA. 2,4-D, and Di
camba spraying should be de
layed until the winter wheat
has at least 5 leaves or three
to four tillers and a fairly strong
root system. Bromoxynil should
be applied after all the weeds
have emerged and are still
small. Cereals are tolerant at all
stages of growth of bromoxynil
up through the boot stage.
Treating small grains before the
five leaf stage will usually
cause reduced yields, many mal
formations of the head, onion
leaves, and general stunting of I
tne plant, small grains are sus
ceptible to 2,4-D damage from
the start of the jointing stage
through the flowering stage.
Spotty stands of grain may
be a serious source of weed
seeds in future years unless
treated. Little or no crop com
petition favors weed growth and
resulting seed set.

Ag and Forestry
Hold Growth Key,
Walter Leth Says
Great growth opportunities for
Oregon agricultural and forest
ry industries lie in the develop
ment of the blessings we al
ready have.
Walter Leth director of the
Oregon Department of Agricul
ture. stressed this at the OSU
sponsored conference in Port
land March 28 on growth oppor
tunities in agriculture and for
estrv based businesses.
The creation of lobs based on
enhancement and stability of
forestry and agriculture will
have the greatest impact on the
general economy of the state,
Leth declared. New .Iods are ere
ated indirectly as well as dir
ectlv from new growth and de
velopment In these two basic
industries.
He urged careful and intense
management of these renewable
resources and pointed out that
future growth depends upon re
search along this line as well
as In production and marketing
to broaden the product mix. He
sueeested that in further devei
opment of the forestry industry
research could he applied to ut
ilization of fertilization and lr
rieation wheh has done so
much for aerculture.
For agriculture itself, Leth
pointed to the need for planned
and use and conservation ot
prime farm land to provide op
portunities for elated industrial
growth. Water, too, is most im
portant to the luture agricultur
al Growth.
He sees development in the
processing of food and timber
products as the ma.lor opportun
itv for industrial growth and vi
tal to Oregons long range
economy.
Not to be overlooked, Leth
said, is the bonus value agn
culture and forestry offer to Ore
gon because they provide in
creasingly enjoyable and aesth
etic environment for the people
of our state."
