    Does Chemical Leaf Burn of Double Crop Soybeans Reduce Yield?

    Most farmers who have applied acifluorfen (sold as Blazer or Tackle) for postemergence control of broadleaf weeds in soybean fields are aware that leaf crinkling, bronzing, and necrosis can result. Despite this, studies in Kentucky, Illinois, Arkansas, and South Carolina have shown that full season soybeans have plenty of time to recover from leaf burn caused by this herbicide, and no yield losses have been found. However, double crop soybeans are usually planted much later than the full season crop. This delay in planting may reduce the time for plants to complete vegetative growth before beginning the seed production process. Therefore, double crop soybeans may be limited in their ability to recover from acifluorfen injury in time to produce as much grain as nonsprayed soybeans. Our objective was to determine if yields of double crop soybeans are reduced by leaf burn due to the use of acifluorfen

    Asymptotics and local constancy of characters of p-adic groups

    In this paper we study quantitative aspects of trace characters Ī˜Ļ€\Theta_\pi of reductive pp-adic groups when the representation Ļ€\pi varies. Our approach is based on the local constancy of characters and we survey some other related results. We formulate a conjecture on the behavior of Ī˜Ļ€\Theta_\pi relative to the formal degree of Ļ€\pi, which we are able to prove in the case where Ļ€\pi is a tame supercuspidal. The proof builds on J.-K.~Yu's construction and the structure of Moy-Prasad subgroups.Comment: Proceedings of Simons symposium on the trace formul
