THE BASIS OF THE DIFFERENTIAL PHYTOTOXICITY OF 4‐HYDROXY‐3,5‐DI‐IODOBENZONITRlLE*

Abstract
Summary. Entry of ioxynil‐14C into portions of leaves was greater with mustard than with barley or pea and was unrelated to stomatal density. Measurement of ioxynil content of sprayed plants showed that by increasing the concentration of ioxynil and adding a surfactant, almost as much ioxynil could be made to enter barley as entered mustard from a lower concentration without surfactant. Auto radiographs showed that a limited amount of 14C was translocated to a small extent in plants following localized application of ioxynil‐14C. An experiment comparing leaf removal by cutting with destruction of equivalent leaf areas by ioxynil treatment suggested a greater translocated effect of ioxynil with mustard than with pea or barley.
