Abstract

In the presence of relatively high but non-toxic levels of phosphate, the suppression of corn (Zea mays L.) or squash (Cucurbita maxima Duchesne) seedling growth in the dark by 3-amino-2,5-dichlorobenzoic acid (amiben) or 2-chloro-4-(ethylamino)-6-(isopropylamino)-s-triazine (atrazine) was enhanced. This effect was not due to increased uptake of either herbicide in the presence of the phosphate by roots of corn, squash, soybeans (Glycine max (L.) Merr.), or redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus L.). A proportional decrease in herbicide uptake with increasing herbicide concentration was most evident for amiben and atrazine uptake by the roots of soybean plants grown in the light.
