Abstract

Oats, sesbania (Sesbania macrocarpa Muhl.) and purple nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus L.) were grown as test plants in nine different soil types treated with 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16 ppm of ethyl N,N-di-n-propylthiolcarbamate (EPTC). Toxicity of EPTC was negatively correlated with the organic matter of the soil. A positive correlation was found between the sand and silt content of the soil and EPTC toxicity to oats and nutsedge. Toxicity of EPTC was not correlated with soil pH, cation exchange capacity, clay content, general reaction, or parent material. EPTC induced a dormancy of nutsedge tubers, of which the length was inversely related to the organic content of the soil.
