Uptake, Translocation, Metabolism, and the Effects of Metolachlor on Yellow Nutsedge and Corn
Abstract
dc:descriptionThe purposes of this study were to evaluate the effects of alachlor {2-chloro-2',6'-diethyl-N-(methoxymethyl)acetanilide} and metolachlor {2-chloro-N-(2-ethyl-6-methylphenyl)-N-(2-methoxy-1-methylethyl)acetamide} on yellow nutsedge tuber viability, determine the depth of placement in the soil where uptake of metolachlor produced the greatest phytotoxicity to corn and yellow nutsedge, assess the influence of temperature on metolachlor's activity, study absorption and translocation patterns of metolachlor in corn and yellow nutsedge, and also evaluate how these plants metabolize metolachlor.
