Absorption and movement of 14C-labelled MH and 2,4-D in onions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 March 2009
Summary
The absorption and movement of 14C-labelled maleic hydrazide (2000 mg/1) and 2,4-D (250 mg/1) were studied in seedlings and mature plants of a local strain of onion (Allium cepa L.) from Kano, Nigeria, in the presence and absence of N (20 mg/1).
Plants absorbed and accumulated considerable amounts of both the chemicals. Addition of N to the treatment solution reduced the absorption of 2,4-D. Also, N reduced the mobility of the chemicals from the roots to the tops which resulted in accumulation of the chemicals in the bulbs.
