Abstract Tobacco and radish leaves sorbed 1,2-dibromoethane (EDB) in the vapor phase or took up EDB dissolved in water. Sorption of EDB vapor by the leaf blades was controlled primarily by diffusion resistance of the leaf stomata, but was also influenced by the nature of the leaf surface. EDB taken up from solution through the petiole was transported to the leaf blade, from where it exhibited a high escaping tendency relative to the transpiration of water. These processes may affect transport and persistence of soil fumigants.
