Abstract
In field trials, 2 gpa of oil enhanced the herbicidal activity of 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole (amitrole) and a mixture of amitrole + ammonium thiocyanate (hereinafter referred to as amitrole-T) on quackgrass (Agropyron repens(L.) Beauv.). None of the oils consistently increased the toxicity of other foliarly-applied herbicides. A paraffinic mineral oil enhanced the activity of amitrole on quackgrass to a greater degree than NH4SCN. The inclusion of a paraffinic mineral oil enhanced both the amount and the rate of14C-amitrole and amitrole-T translocated from the treated leaf to the shoots and roots, this being more pronounced with amitrole (twelvefold) than with amitrole-T (twofold).Keywords
