Alternatives to Triazine Herbicides in Iowa Corn Production
研究在限制使用阿特拉津的情况下,玉米生产中三嗪类除草剂的替代方案,发现限制用量至每英亩1.5磅通常不影响杂草控制和产量,但全面禁用可能增加成本和劳动量。
This report explores triazine herbicide alternatives in corn production given the possibility of restricted atrazine use. We identify three key results: Restricting atrazine application rate to 1.5 pounds of active ingredient per acre would generally not reduce weed control or corn yield. An atrazine ban might not decrease weed control or lower yields provided farmers can manage alternative strategies efficiently. A triazine ban would likely increase costs, labor, and total pounds of active ingredients of substitute herbicides, but would not necessarily decrease weed control.
