The interval between applications was 4 weeks. The plants in the Control group received no V-10142 75WG. The trial was conducted outdoors over 8 weeks from January 5, 2007 to March 5, 2007. The plants were then grown on in a greenhouse for 4 weeks from March 5, 2007 to April 2, 2007. Results: All Gypsophila plants treated with V-10142 75WG showed some phytotoxicity after the second application but the effect was relatively minor with phytotoxicity index levels typically below 2 by day 60 (Tables 1 and 4, Figures 1 and 3). The plants did not grow significantly during this time due to low winter temperatures so the plants were transferred to a greenhouse and the trial was continued for an additional 4 weeks. By day 89 the control plants did grow substantially as part of a spring growth surge. The plants subjected to V-10142 75WG all showed significant growth inhibition with no new growth being added on (Tables 1 and 4; Figures 2, 4 and 5). Also by day 89, significant leaf necrosis was observed resulting in average phytotoxicity ratings of over 4. Discussion: The initial lack of growth during the first 60 days was due to low winter temperatures in the outdoor nursery. During the relatively dormant period, the plants did not suffer much from the herbicide application, but there were just enough blemishes to cause concern that more damage would occur at higher temperatures.

Narrative Summary: Gypsophila paniculata ‘Festival Star’ plants growing in 1-gallon containers received two applications of V-10142 75WG at 0.5 oz/acre (1X), 1 oz/acre (2X) or 2 oz/acre (4X) rates as described in the Materials and Methods section of this report. The interval between applications was 4 weeks. The plants in the Control group received no V-10142 75WG. The trial was conducted outdoors over 8 weeks from January 5, 2007 to March 5, 2007. The plants were then grown on in a greenhouse for 4 weeks from March 5, 2007 to April 2, 2007. Results: All Gypsophila plants treated with V-10142 75WG showed some phytotoxicity after the second application but the effect was relatively minor with phytotoxicity index levels typically below 2 by day 60 (Tables 1 and 4, Figures 1 and 3). The plants did not grow significantly during this time due to low winter temperatures so the plants were transferred to a greenhouse and the trial was continued for an additional 4 weeks. By day 89 the control plants did grow substantially as part of a spring growth surge. The plants subjected to V-10142 75WG all showed significant growth inhibition with no new growth being added on (Tables 1 and 4; Figures 2, 4 and 5).

Materials & Methods: Plant Material and Culture. Liners of Gypsophila paniculata ‘Festival Star’ were received from EuroAmerican Propagators (Bonsall CA) on December 22, 2006. The plants were transplanted to 1-gallon pots containing UC Mix on December 28, 2006. The experiment ran from January 5, 2007 to March 5, 2007 in an outdoor nursery under 50% shade (Table 3). The plants were then transferred to a greenhouse with day/night temperatures of 75°/65° F for 4 additional weeks (Figure 6). The plants were irrigated as needed during the 12-week experiment by hand with tap

water. Applications of pesticides as part of a normal pest management program were made as needed (see above). Experimental Procedure. Thirty-two plants were randomly chosen and individually tagged for treatment with 0 (Control), 0.5 lb ai/acre (1X), 1 lb ai/acre (2X) or 2 lb ai/acre (4X) V-10142 75WG with 8 replicates per treatment. These dosages were prescribed in IR4 Ornamental Protocol 06-010 (Appendix A). The plants received the first foliar spray application on January 5, 2007 and the second application 4 weeks later on February 5, 2007. Data Collection. Phytotoxicity ratings were taken at week 0, 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 12, (January 5, 12, 18 and 31, February 12 and 19, March 5 and April 2, 2007). Visual phytotoxicity evaluations were based on a numerical rating scale ranging from 0 (no injury) to 10 (complete kill) (Table 2). Table 2. Numerical plant damage rating scale used for phytotoxicity determinations.

Rating Description of plant damage 0 No damage 1 No visible damage but unintended (non-permanent) impact 2 Slight leaf/tissue damage (curling leaves, necrosis, etc.) 3 Marginal chlorosis on some leaves (damage on up to 10% of plant) 4 10% – 20% of plant damaged 5 Significant damage to much of plant (30% - 40%) 6 40% – 60% of plant damaged 7 Chlorosis or necrosis on most of plant (60% - 70%) 8 Abscised leaves, branch dieback 9 Tissue severely damaged (80% - 100% of plant) 10 Complete kill

Plant height and width were measured at week 0 (January 5, 2007), week 8 (March 5, 2007) and week 12 (April 2, 2007). Plant height (cm) was measured from the container soil surface to the top of the canopy. Plant width (cm) was measured twice along perpendicular lines at the widest part of the plant, resulting in W1 and W2. For each observation a canopy volume index was calculated so as to be able to determine if canopy volume was affected by the application of herbicide. The calculation was made as H*W1*W2, where H is the height and W1 and W2 are two width measurements. The usefulness of this index is based on the fact that many of the models for such a volume calculation are of the form a*H*W1*W2. The constant “a” depends on the assumption of the shape of the canopy. Since analyses of variance are scale-independent, the conclusion will thus be for the volume of the plant canopy. Statistical Analysis. The data were analyzed using Proc GLM of the Statistical Analysis System (SAS). The phytotoxicity and change in mean value from the starting plant height, width and volume index were analyzed for significant differences using t-tests.

APPENDIX A Phytotoxicity to ornamental horticulture plants from tools to manage broadleaf weeds and sedges. Ornamental Protocol Number: 06-010 Objective: Determine phytotoxicity of Sedgehammer 75WG (halosulfuron), Sulfentrazone 0.2G, and V-10142 to

unlabelled perennial plants commonly grown in nurseries.

Experimental Design: Plot Size: Must be adequate to reflect actual use conditions.

Replicates: Minimum of 3 replications (preferably 4) with 3 plants per replicate

Application Instructions: Apply first application over the top of plants just breaking dormancy or, under climates where plants do not go totally dormant, apply prior to active growth in the spring. See table for product specific information.

Plant Materials: See attached list of plant materials. Plants grown in field containers are preferred to in-ground.

Evaluations: Record plant height & width at initial and final evaluations. At 1, 2, and 4 weeks after each application, record phytotoxicity on a scale of 0 to 10 (0 = No phytotoxicity; 10 = Complete kill). If appropriate, also include ratings for chlorosis, defoliation, stunting or other growth effects on a scale of 0 to 10 (0 = No effect; 10 = Complete plant affected). If any phytotoxicity is observed in treated plants, take pictures comparing treated and untreated plant material.

If different application methods or evaluations are made, please clearly specify differences in final report and explain how they enhanced results.

Recordkeeping: Keep detailed records of weather conditions including temperature and precipitation, soil-type or soil-less media, application equipment, irrigation, liner size, plant height & width, and plant growth stage at application and data collection dates.

Treatments: Product Rates Special Instructions Contact Information

Sedgehammer 75WG (halosulfuron)

1 oz per acre (0.047 lb ai) 2 oz per acre (0.094 lb ai) 4 oz per acre (0.188 lb ai)

Always use 0.25% v/v of a non ionic surfactant. If severe phyto symptoms do not occur and where feasible apply a second application 4-6 weeks later at identical rates.
