Abstract

Bodies of water that are treated with herbicides for aquatic weed control are often used as a source of irrigation water by landowners near the water body, but there is little information regarding the effects of experimental aquatic herbicides on common garden plants. Therefore, the goal of these experiments was to identify phytotoxicity of four herbicides on vegetables frequently cultivated by home gardeners. Sweet pepper, zucchini, tomato, and bush bean were irrigated with water containing bispyribac-sodium, quinclorac, topramezone, and trifloxysulfuron-sodium to identify the herbicide concentrations that damage these garden vegetables. Experiments were conducted during 2009 and repeated in 2010. Plants were irrigated four times during an 11-d period with the equivalent of 1.27 cm of treated water during each irrigation, then irrigated with well water until they were harvested 41 d after the first herbicide treatment. Values of the concentration of herbicide expected to reduce treated plants by 10% compared with control plants (EC10) were calculated from components of nonlinear regression. Analysis of visual quality and dry weight data revealed that bush bean was the most sensitive of the vegetable plants to bispyribac-sodium, trifloxysulfuron-sodium, and topramezone, whereas the species most sensitive to quinclorac was zucchini. Exposure of bush bean to 7.1, 0.9, and 1.2 parts per billion (ppb) of bispyribac-sodium, trifloxysulfuron-sodium, and topramezone, respectively, would be expected to cause 10% reductions compared with control plants, whereas exposure of zucchini to as little as 11.0 ppb of quinclorac would be expected to cause a 10% reduction in dry weight.

Los cuerpos de agua que son tratados con herbicidas para control de malezas acuáticas son comúnmente usados como fuente de agua para riego por los dueños de terrenos cercanos al cuerpo de agua. Sin embargo, hay poca información sobre los efectos de herbicidas acuáticos experimentales en plantas de jardín. Así el objetivo de estos experimentos fue identificar la fitotoxicidad de 4 herbicidas sobre vegetales sembrados frecuentemente por jardineros caseros. Chile dulce, zucchini, tomate y frijol arbustivo fueron regados con agua que contenía bispyribac-sodium, quinclorac, topramezone y trifloxysulfuron-sodium para identificar las concentraciones de herbicida que dañan a estos vegetales. Los experimentos fueron realizados durante 2009 y repetidos en 2010. Las plantas fueron regadas cuatro veces durante un período de 11 d con el equivalente a 1.27 cm de agua tratada durante cada riego. Luego fueron regadas con agua de pozo hasta la cosecha 41 d después del primer tratamiento con herbicida. Los valores de EC10 – la concentración esperada del herbicida que reduce el crecimiento de las plantas en 10% al comparar con plantas testigo – fueron calculados a partir de los componentes de regresiones no-lineales. Análisis de calidad visual y datos de peso seco revelaron que el frijol fue el más sensible de los vegetales al bispyribac-sodium, trifloxysulfuron-sodium y topramezone, mientras que el zucchini fue la especie más sensible al quinclorac. La exposición del frijol a 7.1, 0.9 y 1.2 ppb de bispyribac-sodium, trifloxysulfuron-sodium y topramezone, respectivamente, causaría reducciones del 10% comparando con plantas testigo, mientras que la exposición del zucchini a concentraciones tan pequeñas como 11.0 ppb de quinclorac causaría una reducción del 10% en peso seco.
