Study of the susceptibility of maize lines to some sulfonylurea herbicides
2012
Maize lines are susceptible to different herbicides, what makes seed
production more complicate. The susceptibility is depending in high extent on
meteorological conditions. The objective of the study was to investigate
genetic variability and correlation between phytotoxicity (EWRC evaluation),
alterations in dry matter (DM), phenolics and soluble proteins (SP) in sets
of 19 ZP lines, to nicosulfuron and foramsulfuron, with the aim to determine
sensitivity of individual lines and the potential tolerance patterns during
period 2006-2009. The negative impact of both herbicides reflects through DM
increase, but in higher degree in nicosulfuron treatment. They also induced
in average SP increase and decrease of phenolic’s content. According to
different meteorological conditions present during examined four years, SP
increase was followed by increased EWRC values at same lines, opposite to
lines in which decrease of SP and increase of phenolic’s level could be tied
to potential tolerance, what gives importance to testing of each individual
maize line. Special attention must be given to application time (according to
meteorological conditions and level of weed infestation). The decrease in SP
level and increase of phenolics, together with lower EWRC values observed at
some lines could be associated to tolerance patterns what was emphasized
particularly during 2009, when visible injuries were absent. [Projekat
