Abstract:
The present invention relates to hebicide activity of an amyris-essential oil obtained from amyris plant (Amyris balsamifera) through hot water extraction or steam distillation of amyris plants (amyris balsamifera) and, more specifically, to the non-selective herbicide activity of essential oil extracted from Amyris balsamifera against broad leaved weed and grass weed. The amyris essential oil of the present invention is available in environment-friendly agriculture or an organic farming arable land by rapidly removing broad leaved weed and grass weed in foliage treatment.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A herbicide composition containing Palmarosa(Cymbopogon martini)-derived natural essential oil is provided to ensure high herbicidal activity. CONSTITUTION: A foliar herbicide composition contains Palmarosa(Cymbopogon martini)-derived natural essential oil. The natural essential oil contains volatile organic compounds of geraniol, citral, nerol, and geranyl acetate. A method for identifying high herbicidal function the natural essential oil comprises: a step of testing herbicidal function of the natural essential oil; a step of analyzing volatile organic compounds contained in the natural essential oil; a step of testing herbicidal function of detected volatile organic compound; a step of testing the herbicidal function of the natural essential oil in a greenhouse condition; and a step of testing the herbicidal function of the natural essential oil in a field condition.
