Effect of annual weeds on the growth of perennial grass mixtures in the alpine region of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

In the alpine region of the Tibetan Plateau, five perennial grass cultivars, Bromus inermis (B), Elymus nutans (E), Clinelymus nutans (C), Agropyron cristatum (A), and Poa crymophila (P) were combined into nine communities with different compositions and ratios, B+C, E+A, B+E+A, E+B+C,C+E+A,B+E+C+A,B+C+A+P,B+E+A+P and E+C+A+P. Each combination was sown in six 10 X 10 m plots with three hand-weeded plots and three natural-growing plots in a completely randomised design in 1998. A field experiment studied the performance of these perennial grass combinations under the competitive interference of annual weeds in 3 consecutive years from 1998 to 2000. The results showed that annual weeds occupied more space and suppressed the growth of the grasses due to earlier germination and quicker growth in the establishment year, but this pattern changed in the second and third years. Leaf area indexes (LAIs) of grasses were greatly decreased by the competitive interference of weeds, and the negative effect of weeds on LAIs of grasses declined and stabilised in the second and third years. E+B+C, B+E+C+A, and B+E+A+P possessed relatively higher LAIs (P < 0.05) among all grass combinations and their LAIs were close to five when the competitive interference of weeds was removed. Grasses were competitively inferior to weeds in the establishment year, although their competitive ability (aggressivities) increased throughout the growing season. In the second and third years, grasses were competitively superior to weeds, and their competitive ability decreased from May until August and increased in September. Dry matter (DM) yields of grasses were reduced by 29.8-74.1% in the establishment year, 11.0-64.9% in the second year, and 16.0-55.8% in the third year by the competitive interference of weeds. B+E+C+A and B+E+A+P can produce around 14 t/ha of DM yields, significantly higher (P < 0.05) than the production of the other grass combinations in the second and third years after the competitive interference of weeds was removed. It was preliminarily concluded that removal of competitive interference of weeds increased the LAIs of all grass swards and improved the light interception of grasses, thus promoting the production of perennial grass pastures. The germination stage of the grasses in the establishment year was the critical period for weeding and suppression of weeds should occur at an early stage of plant growth. The grass combinations of B+E+C+A and B+E+A+P were productive and can be extensively established in the alpine regions of the Tibetan Plateau. Two or three growing seasons will be needed before determining success of establishment of grass mixtures under the alpine conditions of the Tibetan Plateau.

Analysis of diets of upland buzzards using stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes

We measured the stable carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios for muscles of the upland buzzards (Buteo hemilasius) and their potential food sources, plateau pikas (Ochotona curzoniae), Qinghai voles (Lasiopodomys fuscus), plateau zokors (Myospalax fontanierii), and several passerine bird species at the alpine meadow in Maduo county, Guoluo prefecture of Qinghai province, People's Republic of China, to provide diet information of upland buzzards, highlighting different diet composition of upland buzzards exposed to different locations. The results demonstrated that stable carbon isotope ratios of upland buzzards, passerine birds, plateau pikas, plateau zokors, and Qinghai voles were -24.42 +/- 0.25parts per thousand, -22.89 +/- 1.48parts per thousand, -25.30 +/- 1.47parts per thousand, -25.78 +/- 0.22parts per thousand, and -25.41 +/- 0.01parts per thousand, respectively, and stable nitrogen isotope ratios were 7.89 +/- 0.38parts per thousand, 8.37 +/- 2.05parts per thousand, 5.83 +/- 1.10parts per thousand, 5.23 +/- 0.34parts per thousand, and 8.86 +/- 0.06parts per thousand, respectively. Fractionation of stable carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios between upland buzzards and their food were 1.03parts per thousand and 2.11parts per thousand, respectively. Based on mass balance principle of stable isotopes and the Euclidean distance mixing model, upland buzzards depended mainly on plateau pikas as food (74.56%). Plateau zokors, Qinghai voles, and passerine birds only contributed a small proportion (25.44%) to diets of upland buzzards. The results were closely accordant with analyses of stomach contents and food pellets, which firmly supported the feasibility of using stable carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios to investigate diet information of upland buzzards. Another study based on stable carbon isotopes showed that upland buzzards living in the Haibei prefecture (another prefecture located in the southeast Qinghai province) mainly preyed on passerine birds (64.96% or more) as food supply. We were alarmed by the preliminary results that widespread poisoning activities of small mammals could reshape the food composition of upland buzzards, influencing the stability and sustainability of the alpine meadow. Bio-control on rodent pests should be carried out rather than the chemical measures.

Photosynthesis of Saussurea superba and Gentiana straminea is not reduced after long-term enhancement of UV-B radiation

Experiments were conducted in an alpine Kobresia humilis meadow near Haibei Alpine Meadow Ecosystem Research Station (37degrees29'-37degrees45'N, 101degrees12'-101degrees33'E; altitude 3200 m). Effects of enhanced ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation on photosynthesis of the alpine plants of Saussurea superba and Gentiana straminea were investigated. Both species were exposed to a UV-B-BE density at 15.80 kJ m(-2) per day, simulating nearly 14% ozone (O-3) reduction during the plant growing season. Neither photosynthetic CO2 uptake rate nor photosynthetic O-2 evolution rate were decreased after a long period of enhanced UV-B radiation treatment. On the contrary, there was a tendency to increase of both parameters in both species. The photosynthetic pigments were also increased, when expressed on a leaf area basis. UV-B absorbing compounds, detected by the absorbance values at 300 mm, had a tendency to increase in both species after enhanced UV-B radiation. After long-term exposure of plants to enhanced UV-B radiation, leaf morphology was also affected. Leaf thickness in both S. superba and G. straminea were increased significantly (P < 0.001). This supports our hypothesis that the increase of leaf thickness in both species after long-term exposure of enhanced UV-B radiation could compensate for the photodestruction of photosynthetic pigments when light passes through the leaf. Therefore, photosynthesis is not reduced in either species when expressed on leaf area basis. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

洱海沉积物孔隙水中溶解有机质的三维荧光光谱特征

文章应用三维荧光光谱技术对洱海沉积物孔隙水中的溶解有机质进行了研究。结果表明,所有样品均含有4个明显的荧光峰,其中A和C为类腐殖酸荧光,B和D为类蛋白荧光。荧光强度在沉积物-水界面特别强,在1cm处急剧下降,之后随着沉积深度呈上升趋势。孔隙水溶解有机质均具有强的类蛋白荧光,揭示了溶解有机质中含有大量色氨酸、酪氨酸等芳环结构的类蛋白物质,并且在早期成岩过程中随着沉积深度呈积累趋势;类蛋白荧光与类腐殖酸荧光之间具有一定的相关关系,r(A,C)值在0.94-1.79之间,随着沉积深度逐渐下降,r(D,B)值在0.9-1.75之间,与r(A,C)值极为接近,且随着沉积深度有着类似的变化趋势,说明在洱海沉积物孔隙

石生苔藓氮含量和氮同位素指示贵阳地区大气氮沉降的空间变化和来源

对贵阳市区到农村地区4个方向的石生苔藓氮含量和氮同位素组成进行了对比分析.苔藓氮含量变化范围为0.85%-2.97%,并从市区（2.24%±0.32%）往外明显降低（1.27%±0.13%）,表明贵阳市区氮沉降最高、往外逐渐降低,但在较远的农村地区（〉25 km）苔藓氮含量出现回升（平均1.33%-1.75%）,反映了农村地区大气氮输入有所增加.苔藓氮同位素均为负值（-12.50‰--1.39‰）,并从市区到农村地区明显升高.市区苔藓较负的氮同位素比值（平均-8.87‰--8.59‰）主要指示了城市排泄物和污水所释放的氨源贡献,而郊区和农村地区苔藓较高的氮同位素信号（平均-3.83‰--2.48‰）主要反映了农业氨源的影响,苔藓氮含量回升可能与农业活动增强有关.此外,贵阳地区苔藓氮同位素的分布特征与受氧化态氮源控制的地区苔藓氮同位素变化相反,因而,贵阳地区大气氮沉降以铵（NHx）沉降为主,该结论有助于更加准确地认识城市地区大气氮沉降的来源和变化.

云南省富乐铅锌多金属矿床闪锌矿中分散元素地球化学特征

分散元素广泛应用于高新技术领域, 具有重要的经济价值, 但因其在地壳中的低含量和其本身地球化学性质的分散性而不易富集成矿, 但是富乐铅锌矿床中却有4 种分散元素Cd, Se, Ge, Ga 具有工业价值。该矿床位于我国重要的川滇黔多金属成矿带南东部,分散元素主要赋存在闪锌矿中, 平均w (B)ö10- 6分别为Cd 16 183, Se 163, Ge 135, Ga 86,其中w (Cd) 是迄今国内最高。闪锌矿分棕黑色、红棕色和黄棕色3 种颜色。Cd 在深色闪锌矿中而Ge 和Ga 在浅色闪锌矿中相对富集, Se 在不同颜色闪锌矿中含量几乎不变。Cd, Ge,Se 主要呈类质同象形式存在, Cd, Ge 占据Zn 的位置, 而Se 占据S 的位置。Ga 主要以显微吸附形式存在, 少量以类质同象形式存在。Zn 与Cd 负相关, 而与Ge 正相关, 与Se 不相关。分散元素地球化学特征指示矿床为沉积2改造成因。

陕西八方山大型(金)多金属矿床赋存在于中泥盆统吉维特晚期的热水沉积岩相中。富SiO2酸酐型热水同生—交代沉积作用形成热水同生沉积微相(层状硅质岩)、热水同生交代微相(微晶石英岩及硅化灰岩)；富Fe^2+ - Mg^2+碳酸盐型热水同生沉积作用形成层状含铜硅质铁白云岩；在同生断裂附近，因热水液压致裂-隐爆作用形达含铜黄铁矿硅质铁白云石角砾岩；富Na^+铝硅酸盐型／富Fe^2+、Mg^2+碳酸盐型热流体在同生断裂中形成热水充填微相(穿层脉状钠长石碳酸岩)；低温热卤水(富F、Ba、B、As、Sb)形成热卤水同生沉积微相。矿质大规模沉淀的地球化学动力学因素为：在热水沉积成矿盆地中，在单一成分热水体系的温度、压力改变而发生快速化学沉淀；不同成分、性态的热水混合后，强烈的酸—碱作用及Eh-pH剧变等，触发热水体系失稳，引起矿质大规模沉积。[SiO2]和F可能是重要的矿化剂。

贵州遵义地区早寒武世黑色岩系中镍钼多金属富集层的矿物学和地球化学研究

在新元古代-寒武纪交替阶段（~544Ma）的短短几百万年间，生物种类和数量剧增，这一事件被称之为“寒武纪生物大爆发”（Cambrian Exploration），同时在这一时期，也发生了全球的海洋缺氧事件（Ocean Anoxic Event，OAE）。这些事件造成了在世界范围内的寒武系底部普遍发育了一套富有机质的黑色岩系。在中国南方，从皖南、浙江经赣北、湘西北、贵州至云南一线，下寒武统黑色岩系的分布近2000公里。这些黑色岩系的发育程度在全球背景中很具特色，是全球背景中研究黑色岩系及其相关科学问题的理想场所。 我国南方大陆早寒武世黑色岩系广泛分布且层位稳定，并伴有Mo、Ni、Se、V、Ag、Au、PGE等多种元素富集层。由于其处在特殊的地球演化背景及地质条件，成为目前国内外研究的一个热点区域。基于此，本文在前人工作的基础上，以贵州遵义地区早寒武世黑色岩系中镍钼多金属富集层为研究对象，通过矿物学、元素地球化学、同位素地球化学等研究手段，探讨中国南方早寒武世黑色岩系中镍钼多金属富集层的成因机制。通过研究，取得以下几点认识： (1) 下寒武统镍钼多金属富集层中SiO2含量较低，MgO、Na2O、K2O、MnO、TiO2在炭质页岩和镍钼层中含量差别不大。镍钼多金属富集层中Fe、Ca、P的含量明显高于碳质页岩，这与镍钼层中硫化物、方解石和磷质的显著增加有关。 (2) 镍钼多金属富集层中微量元素Se、Mo、Cd、Ag、Tl、U、Ni，、Bi、Zn、Cu、V等均有较大富集，富集系数为n到n×103。其中尤以Se、Mo最为富集，两者的富集系数均超过30000，其中Mo元素的富集系数大于50000。 (3)通过多种地球化学指标判别，如Se在黑色岩系中超常赋存，U/Th比值远大于1，黑色页岩和镍钼多金属富集层的Ce具有负异常、Eu有微弱的正异常，多种成矿元素的相关关系等这些特征，都暗示了海底喷流热液和生物的共同作用。此外，黑色岩系中V/(V+Ni)的比值反映了它的沉积环境为缺氧环境。 (4)研究区下寒武统黑色岩系中镍钼多金属富集层的矿物组合以黄铁矿、白铁矿、针镍矿、辉砷镍矿、铁辉砷镍矿、紫硫镍矿、赫硫镍矿和碳硫钼矿为主。 矿物生成大多经历了两个成矿阶段：沉积－早期热液阶段和热液－生物阶段。 (5)根据电子探针分析，对于主要富集元素Ni、Mo而言，Ni以出现大量的镍矿物为特征。镍钼多金属富集层中Mo元素主要以“碳硫钼矿”（MoSC）的形式赋存。Se与As元素在硫化物中含量变化十分特征，如在黄铁矿中Se元素较少而As元素含量较高，在碳硫钼矿中情况相反，推测这是由于Se与As元素不同的地球化学性质以及上述两种矿物不同的形成期次造成的。 (6)同位素研究表明，镍钼多金属富集层的硒同位素的分布范围较窄，δ82/76Se范围为-1.56‰- +1.85‰,平均值+0.25‰。根据目前所测得的硒同位素数据，不支持从海水中还原金属元素沉积富集的机制。我们认为当硒通过海底喷流作用释放后，首先以类质同象的方式结合到硫化物相中，这一过程不会造成硒同位素的大的分馏。流体中剩余的少部分硒与海水混合，并且为藻类吸附而沉淀下来，这一过程会造成约1-2‰的硒同位素分馏。这一模式可较好的解释遵义地区下寒武统Ni-Mo-Se富集层的硒同位素组成特征和硒在不同物相中的分配形式。 (7) 镍钼多金属富集层和围岩的有机碳含量为1.75%～13.9%，平均9.16%，有机碳同位素组成为（δ13Corg）-30.6‰～-32.2‰,这一负偏移可能是由于寒武纪早期的海侵作用造成的。

湖泊生态系统铁同位素与硫同位素地球化学研究--以红枫湖、阿哈湖为例

湖泊生态系统是陆地水体生态系统的重要组成部分。随着社会经济的不断发展，各种人为因素对湖泊生态系统的影响日益突出，打破了其自然演变规律，诸如 “二次污染”、水体富营养化、重金属污染等环境问题接踵而来。而铁是水生生态系统初级生产力所必需的重要微量营养元素之一，在一定的条件下可以控制和影响浮游藻类的生长速度和种类；而且，铁的氧化还原敏感性很强，其价态的改变往往会影响其它相关重金属的迁移和转化。因此，湖泊生态系统中铁的生物地球化学循环研究具有非常重要的意义。近年来的研究显示，铁同位素分析技术可以用于各种生物作用和非生物作用过程的研究，在海洋和河流生态系统中已有广泛的应用，而对湖泊生态系统的研究则鲜见报导。乌江流域中等富营养化的湖泊――红枫湖和贵阳西南郊矿化程度较高的湖泊――阿哈湖是研究湖泊生态系统中铁生物地球化学循环的理想场所。本文选取这两个性质不同的湖泊为研究对象，运用硫同位素、铁同位素及重金属和营养盐等地球化学方法手段，对两湖流域内硫酸盐的来源、硫同位素的季节和剖面变化特征、铁的来源及铁同位素组成的季节和剖面变化特征及其控制和影响因素等进行了研究和探讨，进一步完善了铁同位素分馏机理，为深化理解和研究湖泊生态系统中铁和硫的生物地球化学循环提供一定的科学依据。论文所获的主要认识总结如下： 两湖流域内湖水与河水的硫酸盐硫同位素地球化学 （1）阿哈湖流域和红枫湖流域水体的硫酸盐浓度和δ34S值均有较宽的分布范围。各入湖支流中，受煤矿废水或煤矸石淋溶液污染的河水的δ34S值相对较低（-8.10‰～-14.92‰），而受生活污水影响严重的河水则具有相对较高的δ34S值（-5.68‰～+0.88‰）。相比而言，阿哈湖流域水体纳入了大量的煤矿废水和煤矸石淋溶液，硫污染程度较红枫湖流域更为严重。因此，阿哈湖湖水具有相对较高的硫酸根浓度（平均为2.30 mmol.L-1）和相对较低的δ34S值（平均为-8.10‰），而红枫湖则具有相对较低的硫酸根浓度（平均为0.96 mmol.L-1）和相对较高的δ34S值（平均为-6.80‰）。 （2）阿哈湖湖水中的硫酸盐主要受煤矿废水、煤矸石淋溶液以及雨水等的控制；红枫湖湖水的硫酸盐主要来源于煤中黄铁矿的氧化和雨水输入，土壤硫化物的氧化和蒸发岩的溶解对湖水硫酸盐硫同位素组成的贡献较小。相比之下，雨水对红枫湖湖水硫同位素的影响更为明显。 （3）红枫湖和阿哈湖湖水的硫酸盐的δ34S值均具有明显的剖面变化特征，而且两湖的变化趋势相似，总体表现为，夏秋季节表层湖水和底层湖水的δ34S值相对较高，而冬春季节湖水剖面上下几乎没有变化。湖水硫酸盐浓度也呈现类似的变化特征，这主要与季节性厌氧湖泊夏季分层冬季混和的典型特点有关。夏季湖水分层期间，大量降雨在湖泊表层的滞留使得δ34S值升高而硫酸盐浓度降低，湖泊底部水层中硫酸盐细菌的还原作用使得底层湖水的硫酸盐浓度降低，而δ34S值升高。 两湖流域内铁同位素地球化学 （1）阿哈湖流域各类样品的δ56Fe值分布在-2.03‰～+0.12‰之间，分布范围较宽。其中湖水悬浮颗粒物的δ56Fe值在-1.36‰～-0.03‰之间，整体相对偏负。湖周各支流河水悬浮颗粒物的δ56Fe值在-0.88‰～+0.07‰之间，也相对富集轻的铁同位素；湖底沉积物和孔隙水的δ56Fe值的分布范围分别为-1.75‰～-0.59‰和-2.03‰～+0.12‰；大气颗粒物和浮游藻类的δ56Fe值分别为+0.06±0.02‰和+0.08‰。与阿哈湖相比，红枫湖流域各类样品的δ56Fe值的分布范围相对较窄，在-0.92‰～+0.36‰之间。湖水悬浮颗粒物的δ56Fe值在-0.85‰～+0.14‰之间，河水悬浮颗粒物的铁同位素组成变化范围为-0.89‰～+0.10‰，二者的变化范围相似。红枫湖沉积物的δ56Fe值在-0.18‰～+0.08‰之间，明显比阿哈湖沉积物的铁同位素组成偏正；而对应孔隙水的铁同位素组成的变化范围为-0.59‰～-0.24‰，均要比对应沉积物的铁同位素值要低。藻类和鲫鱼鱼肉的δ56Fe值分别为+0.36‰和-0.92‰。 （2）通过对两湖研究区湖水悬浮颗粒物与各输入端员环境样品的铁同位素值的研究表明，湖水悬浮颗粒物的δ56Fe值不仅受各输入端员的控制和影响，湖泊内部相关的生物地球化学过程也对湖水悬浮颗粒物的铁同位素组成变化产生了重要影响。两湖研究区内湖水悬浮颗粒物的铁同位素组成均存在季节变化特征，但受湖泊自身特点的影响，主要控制因素方面存在一定差异。夏季阿哈湖湖水悬浮颗粒物的铁同位素值变幅较大，其变化主要表现在表层和底层。表层因受陆源输入的有机结合态铁的影响而具有较负的δ56Fe值，而大气沉降颗粒物和湖泊表层的浮游藻类的影响并不显著。夏季湖水分层期间，“Ferrous Wheel”铁循环对于界面附近铁同位素的重分配起到了主要的控制和影响作用，湖水悬浮颗粒物的铁同位素值在氧化－还原界面附近达到了极负值。水－沉积物界面附近滞水层中亚铁类硫化物的生成可能也是水－沉积物界面附近水层内颗粒物的δ56Fe值偏负的原因之一。而冬季湖水混和时期，阿哈湖湖水剖面悬浮颗粒物的δ56Fe值的变幅明显减小。与阿哈湖不同，藻类的吸附作用可能在夏季红枫湖上层水体中占有主导地位，其湖水悬浮颗粒物的铁同位素组成随叶绿素水平的降低而逐渐降低。下层湖水悬浮颗粒物的铁同位素组成变化也受“Ferrous Wheel”铁循环的影响，在红枫湖后五剖面 20m 处达到-0.18‰，大坝剖面底层约为-0.46‰，其变幅没有阿哈湖悬浮颗粒物的δ56Fe值大，可能是受到了湖水中大量有机物质的影响。冬季红枫湖后五剖面的变化趋势与夏季相似，上层和下层水体悬浮颗粒物分别受不同影响因素的控制。上层水体悬浮颗粒物的铁同位素变化不明显，与Fe、Al、Mn、Zn、Co等元素的含量呈现良好的正相关关系；而底层水体悬浮颗粒物的δ56Fe值变幅比夏季要大，HW采样点20m处可达-0.85‰，与Fe、Al、Zn、Co等呈现良好的负相关关系，具体影响因素还有待于进一步研究。

Inibição temporária do crescimento de plantas voluntárias de soja na cultura do girassol.

RESUMO: O controle de plantas voluntárias de soja (Glycine max ) é uma exigência estabelecida em lei. A criação do vazio sanitário determina o período na entressafra no qual não deve haver a presença no campo de plantas emergidas de soja. Essa deliberação visa reduzir o inóculo do fungo causador da ferrugem asiática da soja (Phakopsora pachyrhizi). Além disso, a competição imposta por essas plantas pode reduzir a produtividade das culturas em sucessão. O experimento foi conduzido a fim de avaliar o controle de plantas voluntárias de soja em cultivos de girassol (Helianthus annuus). Os tratamentos aplicados foram: testemunha capinada, testemunha sem capina, amônio glufosinato 40 g i.a. ha-1, amônio glufosinato 100 g i.a. ha-1, sulfentrazone 75 g i.a. ha-1, sulfentrazone 100 g i.a. ha-1, tembotrione 21 g i.a. ha-1, carfentrazone 4 g i.a. ha-1, saflufenacil 1,75 g i.a. ha-1, saflufenacil 3,5 g i.a. ha-1, triclopyr 120 g i.a. ha-1 e MSMA 197,5 g i.a. ha-1. O herbicida sulfentrazone nas doses de 75 e 100 g i.a. ha -1 causa fitotoxicidade ao girassol logo após a aplicação, porém há recuperação das plantas, sem prejuízo a produtividade da cultura. Esses mesmos tratamentos não causam morte total das plantas voluntárias de soja, mas paralisam temporariamente seu crescimento, evitando a competição com a cultura do girassol. O amônio glufosinato é eficaz no controle de plantas voluntárias de soja. No entanto, os sintomas de fitotoxicidade na cultura do girassol são elevados, refletindo em perda de rendimento da cultura. Os outros tratamentos não proporcionam controle satisfatório das plantas voluntárias de soja, além de causar redução na produtividade do girassol. ABSTRACT: The control of volunteer soybean (Glycine max) is regulated by law due to the host-free period which determines the interval that is not allowed the presence of soybean plants in fields. The decision aims to reduce the inoculum of the fungus that causes the Asian soybean rust (Phakopsora pachyrhizi). Furthermore, the competition imposed by volunteer soybean plants can reduce crop yields. The experiment was conducted to evaluate the control of volunteer soybean plants in sunflower (Helianthus annuus). The treatments were as follows: hoed check, check without hoeing, glufosinate ammonium 40 g ai ha-1, glufosinate ammonium 100 g ai ha-1, sulfentrazone 75 g ai ha-1, sulfentrazone 100 g ai ha-1, tembotrione 21 g ai ha-1, carfentrazone 4g ai ha-1, saflufenacil 1.75 g ai ha-1, saflufenacil 3.5 g ai ha -1, triclopyr 120 g ai ha-1 and MSMA 197.5 g ai ha-1. Sulfentrazone (75 and 100 g ai ha-1) caused phytotoxicity on sunflower plants, however there is recovery of plants and no yield losses. The same treatments do not cause the total death of volunteer soybean plants, however temporarily paralyze its growth and avoid competition with the sunflower crop. The glufosinate ammonium is effective in controlling volunteer soybean plants. However, symptoms of phytotoxicity in the sunflower crop are high, reflecting in yield losses. The other treatments do not provide satisfactory control of volunteer soybean plants and even cause reduction in sunflower productivity.
