Field and Laboratory Evaluations of the Herbicidal Efficacy, Uptake and Translocation of Tridiphane and Its Effects on Atrazine Uptake, Translocation and Metabolism

The purposes of this study were to evaluate tridiphane {2-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)-2-(2,2,2-trichloroethyl)oxirane} as a postemergent herbicide with atrazine {2-chloro-4-(ethylamino)-6-(isopropylamino)-s-triazine} and cyanazine {2-((4-chloro-6-(ethylamino)-s-triazin-2-yl)amino)-2-methylpropionitrile} for annual grass control in corn (Zea mays L.). In addition, the behavior of tridiphane in plants and its possible role in modifying the herbicidal behavior of atrazine was examined.
