Abstract

The effect of ammonium sulfate (AMS) on efficacy and on absorption and translocation of sethoxydim in wild oats and barley was investigated under controlled environmental conditions. Increases in efficacy in the presence of AMS were relatively small. The rate of sethoxydim required to reduce dry weight 50% was reduced from 0.08 kg a.i. ha−1, for both species, to 0.07 and 0.06 kg ha−1 for wild oats and barley, respectively, in the presence of added AMS. In short-term experiments, uptake of 14C from 14C-labeled sethoxydim 0.5 and 1 h after application was increased approximately twofold with the addition of AMS. AMS had little effect on sethoxydim absorption beyond 1 h after application. Translocation at 1 h after application was unaffected by AMS. However, translocation 12 and 24 h after application was increased with AMS. It is postulated that the translocation increase results indirectly from the increase in absorption. The observed increase in absorption with the addition of AMS is evident only when crop oil concentrate (COC) is also present In model systems, the addition of AMS enhanced sorption of sethoxydim into Isolated cuticles but had no effect on movement into excised roots.
