Abstract

The uptake of herbicides by soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) seed from 14C-labeled aqueous solutions of 3-amino-2,5-dichlorobenzoic acid (amiben), 2-chloro-4-(ethylamino)-6-(isopropylamino)-s-triazine (atrazine), 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1-methoxy-1-methylurea (linuron), S-ethyl dipropylthiocarbamate (EPTC), and isopropyl m-chlorocarbanilate (chlorpropham) was determined by measuring reduction in the concentration of the herbicides in the soaking solution. There was a direct proportional relationship between uptake and concentration. Raising the temperature from 10 to 30 C increased uptake of herbicides. The greatest increase occurred from 10 to 20 C. After 48 hr at 30 C, 39% of the amiben, 61% of the atrazine, 65% of the EPTC, 83% of the linuron, and 92% of the chlorpropham in the original solution was absorbed by the seed. Uptake rates were similar in living and dead seed. Uptake was reversible with amiben but not with chlorpropham. Absorption of herbicides could not be associated with absorption of water except during the first few hours when the seed were rapidly imbibing water. Ratios of seed to solution herbicide concentrations all exceeded 1:1 after 48 hr and with chlorpropham, reached 68:1. The uptake of herbicides by seed was largely a physical process that required seed hydration, but herbicide uptake continued after water uptake ceased.
