Effects of Petroleum Oil and Soybean Oil in Adjuvants for Postemergence Herbicides (Surfactant, Photodecomposition, Absorption, Efficacy, Translocation)
Abstract
dc:descriptionSoybean oil is an abundant and renewable resource through annual crop production. The replacement of paraffin oil with soybean oil in agricultural adjuvants would create an additional market for surplus soybeans and help alleviate dependence on non-renewable petroleum oil. Field and laboratory experiments were conducted to compare effects of a petroleum oil-emulsifier blend (POC) and a soybean oil-emulsifier blend (SBOC) as adjuvants for postemergence herbicides.
