Dichloromethane, methanol and water Number preceeding title corresponds to the location of the poster extracts of the wetted seedmeal were bioassayed against wheat and in the Rio Grande Exhibit Hall sicklepod radicle elongation. Only the dichloromethane extract was found to be strongly inhibitory to both species. Fractionation of the dichloromethane extract identifi ed two major phytotoxins, identifi ed by GC-MS and NMR analyses as 2-propen-1-yl (allyl) isothiocyanate Poster Session 1—Weed Control and Pest Management (AITC) and allyl thiocyanate (ATC), which constituted 80.9 and 18.8%, July 17, 2004, 12:30–1:30 PM Rio Grande Exhibit Hall respectively, of the active fraction. When seeds of wheat, arugula and sicklepod were exposed to volatilized AITC and ATC, the germination of all three species were completely inhibited by both compounds at 1 GIS Analysis of Sweetpotato Weevil Trap Data in Louisiana concentrations of 5 ppm or less.
