Extract

The herbicide, isopropyl N–(3–chlorophenyl) carbamate (CIPC), has proved to be efficient in eliminating certain weeds from several crops. The toxic mechanism of this herbicide is still somewhat doubtful. In order to further determine the reaction of plants to this herbicide the carbohydrate content of corn plants sprayed with CIPC was investigated.
