Abstract

The effects of residues of 16 herbicides used to control downy brome (Bromus tectorum L.) were studied in the greenhouse. Crested wheatgrass (Agropyron desertorum (Fisch. ex Link) Schult.) was planted in soils collected from field plots sprayed 1 to 4 years previously. At the rates used, some residues were lethal to crested wheatgrass seedlings, some caused severe malformation and/or herbage yield reduction, while others had no adverse effects.
