Abstract

Sprayed aqueous emulsions of long chain amine salts of (2,4-dichlorophenoxy)acetic acid (2,4-D) penetrated faster into sunflower (Helianthus annuus L. ‘Peredovik’) leaves than did sprayed dimethylamine salt aqueous emulsions at 21 C and 5% relative humidity (RH). The initial absorption (65 to 70% in 13 hr) was independent of light, but the following much slower absorption was strongly light dependent. The long-chain amine salts sprayed in diesel oil as carrier were 90% absorbed in 4 hr. It was concluded that long chain amine salts should be sprayed in this carrier to facilitate penetration into leaves and to reduce possible environmental contamination.
