Absorption and Translocation of 2,4-D by Wolftail (Carex Cherokeensis Schwein)
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 June 2017
Abstract
Absorption and translocation of the sodium salt of radioactive (2,4-dichlorophenoxy)acetic acid (2,4-D-2-14C) by wolftail (Carex cherokeensis Schwein) plants grown from rhizomes were enhanced by high relative humidity but were not affected by dimethyl sulfoxide (hereinafter referred to as DMSO). Greatest accumulation of 2,4-D-2-14C translocated from the treated leaf occurred, in the meristematic tissue. DMSO increased the herbicidal activity of the triethanolamine salt of 2,4-D alone, but 2,4-D plus DMSO was no more effective than 2,4-D plus X-77. When both DMSO and X-77 were added to the 2,4-D solution, the treatments were no more effective than when either additive alone was included.
