Translocation patterns of the triazole plant growth retardants paclobutrazol, triapenthenol, and BAS111 were found to be similar when applied as a trunk paint, soil drench, or in hydroponic systems. Chemical degradation studies indicate that the greatest percentage of parent compound is translocated to roots and mature leaves following soil drench and hydroponic treatments. Generally, residue levels of BAS111 were significantly lower than those of paclobutrazol and triapenthenol. Data from trunk paint applications indicate triapenthenol and BAS111, even at concentrations 5 times greater than paclobutrazol, are not as effective in controlling shoot growth. Significant negative correlations were found between shoot growth and foliar residue levels of paclobutrazol and triapenthenol 13 weeks after trunk point application. Chemical names used: (2RS,3RS)-1-(4-chlorophenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-2-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-pentan-3-ol (paclobutrazol); (E)-(RS)-1-cyclohexyl-4,4-dimethyl-2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-pent-1-en-3-ol (triapenthenol); 1-phenoxy-5,5-dimethyl-3-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-hexan-5-ol) (BAS111); trimethylonylpolyethoxyethanol (WK surfactant).
