Heights of barley were significantly reduced by silvex containing the paraffinic carriers at rates of 1/2 and more. These formulations had no such effect on wheat. That the two experimentaitormulatiotls'bt silvex were more phytotoxic to barley than the-commercial fOZlDlulation is furthe~ evidenced by the yield data, Notwithstanding that commercial silvex reduced yields, the reduotions were not as great as those from the two experimental formulations. Rates above 1/4 pound of all preparations significantly reduced barley ~ ields. On the other hand, wheat yields were not reduce4 significantly be-, low the check by any rate or formulation. From the data on kernel weights it can be seen that this" quantitative response was somewhat related to tiller formation. Greater decreases in kernel weight resulted from the formulat1Pns containing the paraffinic fractions than from the commercial formulation. This decrease was greatest with the formulation containing the fast-breaking emulsion. The same was true for tiller formation. The interaction of formulation x rate was also statistically significant for kernel weights. As with tiller production, increas£s in rate of all formulations effected corresponding increases in kernel weight. The reverse, relationship of tillers to kernel weight might be suspected. The explanation is easily made. Since the high rates of herbi~ cides tended to check the development of the main culms and often prevented the formation of heads, the ones that did form were larger in size and weight. It is known that checking the development of main culms results in the format~on of more tillers. No such response or relationship was noted on wheat. 373 From the data and discussion it can be seen that herbicidal" activity and general phytotoxicity of silvex was greatly enhanced by using paraffLnic fractions, in aqueous dispersions, as carriers for this herbicide. Of the two experimental formulations, the one containing the slow-breaking emulsion was slightly more effective on dog fennel than the one containing the fast-breaking emulsion. The same generally was true with regard to their effects on certain yield components of small grains. There were instances when the reverse was noted. Additional work is needed to determine whether the latter is mo'reapparent than real. Summary (1) Two formulations of silvex using high boiling paraff~c fractions as carriers were compared tQ"a commercially available formulation of silvex for dog fennel control in barley and Wheat. (2) In addition to weed contrOl, the effects of all herbicidal treatments on tiller production, plant heights, yield, and kernel weights were made. (3) The two experimental formulations were more phytotOXic to dog fennel and on certain Yiel~ c?~ponents of the small grains
