The isolation and characterization of common lambsquarters cuticles and the effect neodol surfactants on the penetration of bentazon and glyphosate

An isolation procedure was developed to isolate annual weed cuticles unattainable with previous techniques. The technique takes advantage of the feeding behavior of (Chrysoesthia lingulacella Clemens), a microlepidopteran leaf miner. Cuticles of common lambsquarters (Chenopodium album L.) were isolated by the leaf miner technique. Electron micrographs verified the successful isolation of leaf cuticles, which include epidermal cells, without structural alterations of the adaxial and abaxial surfaces. Penetration of bentazon through isolated cuticles was monitored using a cuticle penetration apparatus developed to conserve the effects of droplet drying on penetration. Greater bentazon penetration was observed through the lower leaf surface compared to adaxial leaf surface.
