摘要
Glyphosate efficacy was examined in young velvetleaf plants from the standpoint of its tissue distribution and sensitivity. In whole plant assays, manual application of a sub-lethal dose to the first leaf resulted only in meristem injury while other tissues remained visually healthy. Our studies showed that this differential tissue response was caused by a combination of differential distribution as well as sensitivity to glyphosate. Using [C-14]glyphosate, we measured tissue injury and glyphosate residue, and calculated tissue threshold for 50% growth inhibition. Our studies showed that roots and meristem have high glyphosate distribution (45 and 34% of translocated, respectively) and low inhibition thresholds (0.23 and 0.21 ppm, respectively) resulting in tissues that were easily killed by glyphosate. In contrast, the base stem contained a much higher inhibition threshold (8.4 ppm) with only intermediate distribution (10%) resulting in a tissue that was most difficult to kill. We observed a linear relationship between glyphosate dose and tissue concentration; furthermore, tissue distribution pattern was independent of dose or surfactants class. At a sub-lethal dose, sensitive tissues that received a large distribution of glyphosate were preferentially killed. As the dose was increased, more glyphosate was available for distribution, and all tissues received a proportionately greater amount of glyphosate. Plant death occurred when the applied dose was sufficient to attain the lethal threshold in all tissues. (C) 2003 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
