Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for affecting plant growth and, more particularly, includes use of sound waves to assist in the assimilation of growth inhibiting solutions by plants. For example, one may decrease the level of herbicide needed to provide an effective killing dosage, thus minimizing pollution.
  • the present invention is a process for treating plants with herbicide and sound of a particular frequency to inhibit growth. Further, the present invention is a process of treating plants with such sound to force osmosis of growth affecting herbicide compositions into the plants.
  • the process may include the steps of applying the growth affecting composition to the plant and subjecting the plant to sound waves while the composition is disposed on said plant.
  • herbicide compositions may be applied by spraying during the application of sound.
  • a suitable composition may be an aqueous solution of conventional herbicide.
  • Detergent may be included in the solution to facilitate uniform distribution of the aqueous solution on the foliage of the plant.
  • the sound used in the present invention may be produced using any of a variety of mechanisms.
  • One technique that has proven suitable is the use of a recording, e.g. disc recordings and cassette recordings.
  • electronic sound producing devices may be used.
  • the plants are treated with a combination of such sound and herbicide chemicals. Any technique may be used to apply the chemicals to the plants. In the case of applying chemicals as an aqueous solution to the foliage of plants, conventional spraying techniques may be used. In the case of applying the chemicals to seeds, the seeds may be wetted with an aqueous solution.
  • the plant is subjected to sound waves of high frequency.
  • the sound waves may be produced in any manner, for example, sound recordings or sound generating devices.
  • the sound may be of a frequency of 4 to 6 kilohertz, preferably 4.7 to 5.3 kilohertz.
  • the sound waves may be of a constant frequency; however, use of a variable frequency within this range is preferred.
  • the plants may be subjected to sound waves which vary in frequency from 4.7 to 5.3 kilohertz.
  • the period of one rise and fall in frequency may be from 0.1 to 0.5 seconds.
  • the sound may be pulsating, e.g., discontinuous. Sound waves outside this frequency may also be present.
  • the volume of the sound waves in the present invention may be at least 115 decibels, preferably 115 to 120 decibels at the point where the sound interfaces with the plant foliage, e.g. plant cells.
  • the duration of sound treatment is at least 15 seconds, preferably about 30 seconds to 30 minutes.
  • the present process for growth eradication has been found suitable for any undesirable plant growth such as grasses, rag weed, button weed and the like.
  • the present process for plant life inhibition may be carried out using any herbicide together with the sound treatment.
  • any conventional weed spray may be used at a lower level of application and acts more rapidly than conventional use.
  • the herbicide concentration and thus application may be reduced by 5 to 75 percent.
  • the herbicide may be maintained at full strength and have a more potent effect than was the case heretofore.
  • any particular plant may be considered to be a weed.
  • volunteer tomato plants are weeds.
  • maple saplings are weeds.
  • the present invention contemplates use of the process on any plant growth that is undesired. Certain plants are well recognized as weeds and as being undesired. Perhaps this is because such plants are common infestations to many cultivated crops. These common weeds are often tenacious and very difficult to eliminate from the crop. Such weeds are often difficult to kill.
  • Use of herbicides has been under attack in recent years for environmental reasons. With the present process, the killing dosage of herbicide is significantly reduced, thus reducing the environmental impact. The present process can also make such herbicide effective on plants where the herbicide has had a marginal effect in the past.
  • Illustrative of the weeds that may be treated according to the present invention are Canadian thistle, quackgrass, yellow nutsedge, bluegrass, sowthistle, field bindweed, leafy spurge, common milkweed, wirestem muhly, perennial buttercups, germander, bull thistle, cockleburr, chickweed, goldenrod, pigweed, mustards, burdoch, button weed, wild sunflowers, ash, wild blackberry, hawthorne, oak, ivy, sumac, maple, willow, chokeberry, poison ivy, mesquite, brambles, wild grape, honeysuckle, alder, pine, fir, spruce, rag weed, pokeberry, yucca, s artweed, clovers, knotweed, shepherd's purse, crabgrass, foxtail, coffeeweed, teaweed, kochia, velvetleaf, cockles, knapweed, dock, gooseweed, toadtlax, johnson

  • This herbicide included diclofop methyl and bromoxynil having active ingredients of 310 grams per liter. Twenty liters of the herbicide concentrate were diluted with water to 540 gallons which is 25 percent of the usual recommended application concentration. The herbicide was applied at a rate of 10 gallons per acre while applying sound at 4 to 6 kilohertz and at a volume of about 115 decibels for at least 15 minutes. Satisfactory herbicidal results were obtained on a cultivated field having substantial broadleaf and grassy weed infestation.
  • Example III The present invention was carried out using
  • SaberTM herbicide is a 1:1 mixture of Bromoxynil and META. The concentrate had 720 grams active ingredient per liter. Twenty gallons of Saber were diluted with water to 540 gallons and applied at the rate of 10 gallons per acre. This application is 25 percent of the recommended dosage.

  • Example VII A procedure was carried out to compare the present invention utilizing the combination of sound and herbicide with processing including only treatment with herbicide.
  • a composition was first prepared including 4 pints of BasagranTM herbicide and 150 gallons of water. Five gallons of 28% liquid nitrogen fertilizer and one gallon of molasses were added.
  • BasagranTM is a post-emergent herbicide using 3-isopropyl-lH-"2,l,3-benzothiadiazin- (4)3H-one,2,2-dioxide. This is an herbicide originated by BASF of West Germany.
  • the molasses and the liquid nitrogen were included to serve as a surfactant.
  • the application was made using a tractor-mounted sprayer with a fan tip nozzle. The boom height was 30 inches above the canopy.
  • the composition was applied at 6:00 p.m. at a temperature of 80°F. The humidity was in the mid-70's and there were overcast skies. The tractor moved at a speed of 5.5 mph during the application. This application did not include the use of sound. A second strip of the same weed infested field was treated 23 hours later, all conditions being the same except that a sound unit was used throughout the application of the herbicide composition at a frequency of 4 to 6 kilohertz and a volume of 115 decibels. The sound unit was activated five minutes prior to entering the field.
  • the chemical BasagranTM herbicide was applied in an identical manner as on the first piece of land discussed above. The tractor was driven back through this strip of land with the sound unit on, but without additional spraying of the chemical composition. The following indicates the percent of eradication for each of the four weeds contained in the field: Treated Only Treated with
  • Example VIII Two test areas were selected, approximately one-quarter mile apart and having weed infestation approximately equal. One test area was sprayed while simultaneously applying sound at a frequency of between 4 and 6 kilohertz and a volume of about 115 decibels. The other strip was only sprayed. In both instances, the composition was the same as the previous Example; however, the application rate was at 1.5 pints of
  • BasagranTM per acre The strip included 90% burndown of rough pigweed when sound was used and only 65% when no sound was used.
  • Example X A first area of a soybean field was treated with the composition set forth in Example VII. The application rate was 1 pint per acre. No sound application was made.
  • the strip was one-quarter mile in length and fourteen rows in width. Two hours later an adjoining fourteen rows of soybeans were treated at the rate of 0.5 pints per acre. This was carried out by increasing the rate of travel of the tractor to provide the desired application rate of chemical. In this instance, sound was applied at a frequency of between 4 and 6 kilohertz and a volume of ⁇ approximately 115 decibels. No discernable difference was noted between the two strips of beans. In both instances, about 70% eradication of velvetleaf was obtained; 80% kill of cockleburr, thus showing that one can significantly reduce the herbicide usage, providing one uses the sound application of the present invention.
