Influence of temperature and light intensity on absorption, translocation, and phytotoxicity of fenoxaprop-ethyl and imazamethabenz-methyl in Avena fatua
1996
Xie, H.S. | Xiao, Ai | Quick, W.A.
The absorption and translocation of fenoxaprop-ethyl and imazamethabenz-methyl were investigated in wild oat (Avena fatua L.) plants grown under different temperature and light intensity conditions by using 14C tracer techniques. The phytotoxicity of both herbicides, applied as individual droplets, was also determined under similar environments. The absorption of fenoxaprop-ethyl and imazamethabenz-methyl was increased by high temperature (30/20 degrees C) and to a lesser extent by 70% shading; low temperature (10/5 degrees C) had limited effect on the absorption. The basipetal translocation of fenoxaprop-ethyl was not affected by high temperature, and the increase in imazamethabenz-methyl translocation at high temperature was likely the result of the increased absorption. Low temperature decreased total translocation and translocation efficiency in both fenoxaprop-ethyl and imazamethabenz-methyl. Low light intensity tended to reduce the efficiency of basipetal translocation of both herbicides. Fenoxaprop-ethyl phytotoxicity was reduced by high temperature but not by low temperature. Temperature had little effect on imazamethabenz-methyl effectiveness. Under 70% shading, the phytotoxicity of both herbicides was enhanced.
