Saflufenacil, a pyrimidinedione herbicide, is used for contact and residual broadleaf weed control in various crops. Bioactivity of saflufenacil in soil was tested in greenhouse and laboratory studies on 29 soils representing a wide range of soil properties and geographic areas across the United States. A greenhouse bioassay method was developed using various concentrations of saflufenacil applied PPI to each soil. Whole canola plants were harvested 14 d after treatment, and fresh and dry weights were recorded. Nonlinear regression analysis was used to determine the effective saflufenacil doses for 50% (ED50,), 80% (ED80), and 90% (ED90) inhibition of total plant fresh weight. Bioactivity of saflufenacil in soil was strongly correlated to soil organic (R = 0.85) and humic matter (R = 0.81), and less correlated to cation exchange capacity (R = 0.49) and sand content (R = −0.32). Stepwise regression analysis indicated that organic matter was the major soil constituent controlling bioactivity in soil and could be used to predict the bioactivity of saflufenacil. Saflufenacil phytotoxicity was found to be dependent on soil property; therefore, efficacy and crop tolerance from PRE and PPI applications may vary based on soil organic matter content and texture classification.

Pesticide sorption by soil is among the most sensitive input parameters in many pesticide-leaching models. For many pesticides, organic matter is the most important soil constituent influencing pesticide sorption. Increased fertility, irrigation, and mowing associated with highly maintained turfgrass areas result in constant deposition of organic material, creating a soil system that can change drastically with time. Changes in soil characteristics could affect the environmental fate of pesticides applied to turfgrass systems of varying ages. Sorption characteristics of simazine and S-metolachlor were determined on five soils from bermudagrass systems of increasing ages (1, 4, 10, 21, and 99 yr) and compared to adjacent native pine and bare-ground areas. Surface soil (0 to 5 cm) and subsurface soil (5 to 15 cm) from all sites were air-dried and passed through a 4-mm sieve for separation from plant material. Using a batch-equilibrium method, sorption isotherms were determined for each soil. Data were fit to the Freundlich equation, and Kd (soil sorption coefficient) and Koc (organic carbon sorption coefficient) values were determined. Sorption and soil system age were directly related to organic matter content in the soil. Sorption of both herbicides increased with age of the soil system and was greatest on the surface soil from the oldest bermudagrass soil system. Herbicide sorption decreased at greater soil depths with lower organic matter. Greater amount of 14C–simazine sorbed to subsurface soil of the oldest turfgrass system compared to 14C–S-metolachlor. Results indicate that as bermudagrass systems age and accumulate higher organic matter levels increased herbicide sorption may decrease the leaching potential and bioavailability of simazine and S-metolachlor.

Field research was conducted to evaluate plant growth-regulator efficacy for tall fescue growth and seedhead suppression applied using application placement equipment. Specially designed equipment outfitted with fluid application systems applies low-volume plant growth regulator directly on plant foliage, reducing opportunity for drift and visible application. Wet-blade mowers are equipped to apply plant growth regulators and mow in a single pass, whereas rotary-wick applicators simply wipe chemicals directly on uncut vegetation. Therefore, a wet-blade, rotary-wick, and broadcast sprayer system were chosen to apply imazapic at three rates (9, 35, and 53 g ai/ha), and a mefluidide + chlorsulfuron tank mix at 7 + 140 g ai/ha to tall fescue roadsides for vegetative growth and seedhead suppression. Experiments were conducted during the spring and summer of 2004 in central and western North Carolina. Tall fescue was slightly injured and discolored by all treatments but fully recovered by 2 mo after treatment. Imazapic suppressed new vegetative growth 3 mo after treatment compared with the nonmowed–nontreated control (16.1 cm of growth) and the mowed–nontreated control (21.1 cm) when applied with the rotary-wick applicator (8.5 cm) and broadcast sprayer (6.2 cm). However, differences in vegetative height primarily occurred when application placement equipment treatments were compared with nontreated vegetation as opposed to mowed–nontreated plants. Although mowed–nontreated and wet-blade–treated plots had more new vegetative growth, nonmowed–nontreated plots still consistently had the greatest vegetative height. Seedhead suppression ranged from 87 to 100% when compared with the nonmowed–nontreated control, with wet-blade treatments consistently providing the least-effective seedhead suppression. Overall, application placement equipment did not improve plant growth-regulator efficacy when compared with the foliar broadcast spray.

This paper presents recent results concerning the planet formation, planet migration, and the long term stability of planetary systems. Most stars are found in binary systems and binary companions can disrupt both planet formation and stability. We first consider the effects of outer binary companions on the late stages of terrestrial planet formation and show how planet formation depends on the binary periastron. We then consider migration mechanisms for giant planets. In this case, planet scattering produces the full range of orbital eccentricities, but is less effective in moving planets inward (decreasing their semi-major axes). Disk torques are effective at moving planets inward, but not at increasing the eccentricities. We explore a scenario in which disk torques act in concert with planet scattering to provide the full range of orbital elements observed in extrasolar planetary systems. Finally, we consider the longer term stability of Earth-like planets in binary systems; we find that nearly 50 percent of binaries allow for Earth-like planets to remain stable over the current (4.6 Gyr) age of our solar system.

We review recent work on gravitational instabilities in circumstellar disks and discuss implications for the possibility of forming binary companions within these disks. Linear stability analysis indicates that self-gravitating modes with azimuthal wavenumber m = 1 will grow strongly in star/disk systems with the physical properties observed in astrophysical systems. Smooth particle hydrodynamic simulations indicate that these self-gravitating instabilities (with m = 1 and higher) will grow into the nonlinear regime. In many cases, a spiral arm will collapse into a gravitationally bound “knot” of gas; these knots typically contain 1% of the mass of the disk and travel on elliptical orbits about the central star.

Summary
Introduction
There is growing evidence for circumstellar discs associated with young stellar objects (YSOs). Motivated by observational evidence suggesting that these discs produce significant luminosity, LD ∼ L⋆, and have moderate masses, MD ∼ M⋆, (Adams, Lada & Shu 1988), we explore the possibility that the accretion mechanism ultimately owes its origin to the growth of spiral gravitational instabilities. As a start, we study the growth and structure of linear, global, gravitational disturbances in star/disc systems.
The physics of m = 1 modes
For simplicity, we take the unperturbed discs to be infinitesimally thin and in centrifugal equilibrium; we characterize the surface density and temperature profiles in the disc as power-laws in radial distance from the star. Since the potential well of the star dominates that of the disc everywhere except near the disc's outer edge, the rotation curve is nearly Keplerian throughout most of the disc's radial extent.
Our study concentrates on modes with azimuthal wave number m = 1, since these modes can be global in extent and may also be the most difficult modes to suppress in unstable protostellar discs. Modes with m = 1 correspond to elliptic streamlines (i.e. eccentric particle orbits), which play a unique role in Keplerian potentials, a fundamental point explicitly recognized by Kato (1983). In an exactly Keplerian potential, circular streamlines of zero pressure are neutrally stable to kinematic perturbations that make them ellipses.

We propose that the formation of low mass stars in molecular clouds takes place in four stages. The first stage is the formation of slowly rotating cloud cores through the slow leakage of magnetic (and turbulent) support by ambipolar diffusion. These cores asymptotically approach quasistatic states resembling singular isothermal spheres, but such end states cannot actually be reached because they are unstable. The second phase begins when a condensing cloud core passes the brink of instability and collapses dynamically from “inside-out,” building up a central protostar and nebular disk. The emergent spectral energy distributions of theoretical models in the infall stage are in close agreement with those of recently found infrared sources with steep spectra. As the rotating protostar gains mass, deuterium will eventually ignite in the central regions and drive the star nearly completely convective if its mass is less than about 2 M ⊙. This initiates the next step of evolution - the bipolar outflow phase - in which a stellar wind pushes outward and breaks through the infalling envelope. The initial breakout is likely to occur along the rotational poles, leading to collimated jets and bipolar outflows. The intense stellar wind eventually widens to sweep out gas in nearly all 4π steradian, revealing the fourth stage - a T Tauri star with a surrounding remnant nebular disk. Radiation from a disk adds an infrared excess to the expected spectral energy distribution of the revealed source. The detailed shape of this infrared excess depends on whether the disk is largely passive and merely reprocesses stellar photons, or is relatively massive and actively accreting. Both extremes of spectral shapes are observed in T Tauri stars; the amount of circumstellar material in the form of disks around nearly formed stars may be related to the dual issues of the origins of binary-star and planetary systems.

The problem of gravitational collapse and star formation is entirely different when the ratio of the mass of a molecular cloud Mcl to its magnetic flux Φ is high than when it is low. Magnetically-diluted overall collapse of a large dense core and the formation of an OB association or a bound cluster are the likely outcomes in the former case; quasi-static contraction of many small cores and their ultimate collapse to form a T association, in the latter. In our picture, the birth of a T association in a dark cloud like Taurus proceeds by ambipolar diffusion on a time-scale of ∼ 107 years. As magnetic and turbulent support is gradually lost from a small condensing core, it approaches a state resembling a slowly rotating singular isothermal sphere which, when it passes the brink of instability, collapses from “inside-out,” building up a central protostar and nebular disk. The emergent spectral energy distributions of theoretical models in this stage of protostellar evolution resemble closely those of recently found sources with steep spectra in the infrared. The protostellar phase is ended by the reversal of the infall by an intense stellar wind, whose ultimate source of energy derived from the differential rotation of the star. We argue that the initial breakout is likely to occur along the rotational poles, leading to collimated jets and bipolar outflows. The stellar jet eventually widens to sweep out gas in nearly all 4π steradian, revealing at the center a T Tauri star and a remnant nebular disk. We give rough scaling relations which must apply if an analogous process is to succeed for producing high mass stars.
