PARAQUAT [5 records]

Record 1 2016-03-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Planting Techniques (Farming)
DEF

A procedure whereby a crop is planted directly into a seedbed; not tilled since harvest of the previous crop...

CONT

... drilling of the seed directly into the soil without prior cultivation of the soil to prepare a seedbed. The surface vegetation, which is usually grass, is first destroyed by spraying with a solution of paraquat... In the United Kingdom "direct drilling" is now commercial practice with the major cereals, wheat, barley, oats and rye(and) with a number of brassica crops which can be sown thickly and do not require singling.

OBS

Direct drilling (implies) the use of herbicide in combination, to kill the existing vegetation.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Techniques de plantation
CONT

Lors du semis direct, on ensemence la terre sans aucun travail préalable du sol. On fait un seul passage avec un semoir conçu pour préparer lui-même le lit de semence ou avec un semoir couplé à divers outils aratoires.

OBS

Il ne faut pas confondre «culture minimum» et «culture sans labour». La suppression du labour entre souvent dans la ligne de la culture minimum, mais bien des «préparations minimum» utilisent la charrue.

Strikingly, the mutant worms produce elevated levels of antioxidants(both cytoplasmic superoxide dismutase and an enzyme called catalase) and are more resistant to the toxic effects of paraquat, a herbicide that leads to generation of the superoxide radical.
