Notes:
Quackgrass [Elymus repens (L.) Gould =Agropyron repens (L.) Beauv.] and barnyardgrass [Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) Beauv.] were more than one hundred times more susceptible to sethoxydim than alfalfa (Medicago sativa L. 'Saranac') or navybean (Phaseolus vulgaris L. 'Seafarer'). Uptake of sethoxydim From soil following post-emergence applications caused negligible reduction in E. crus-galli fresh weight. More than 80% of foliar-applied 14C-sethoxydim was absorbed within 6 h in all species. Translocation occurred in all species with accumulation of 14C in rapidly growing plant tissues. Translocation to the roots was less than 8% of total in all species. Most of the extracted 14C initially partitioned into an ethyl acetate-soluble fraction. The proportion of 14C in the ethyl acetate-soluble fraction decreased with time with a concomitant increase of that in the insoluble fraction. Differences in the quantity of 14C in the ethyl acetate-soluble fraction did not account for the observed selectivity.
