Document Summary
Aminopyralid soil residues affect rotational vegetable crops in florida. The primary purpose of this article showed how aminopyralid soil residues affected five rotational crops in florida. The specific data used in the study that supports the primary purpose are 69% of bell peppers, 61% of eggplants, and 54% of tomatoes reduced in height, and crop injury level were twice that of height reduction. At the maximum concentration, aminopyralid caused bloom number reductions of 100,92, and. 100% and yield losses of 100,95, and 100 correspondingly. On the other hand, aminopyralid soil concentration increased, while muskmelon and watermelon crop injury and plant height reduced. The major implications of the research were that aminopyralid can cause substantial injury and yield loss in bell pepper, eggplant, and tomato at soil concentrations below loq.
