Absorption, translocation, and metabolism of 14C-triclopyr were compared in the rice cultivars ‘Lemont’ and ‘Tebonnet’ under flooded and non-flooded conditions. Radioactivity washed from 14C-triclopyr-treated leaves was 26% at 6 h and decreased to about 11% of that applied at 96 h after treatment. Triclopyr was immobile with 98% of the recovered 14C remaining in the treated rice leaf. An average of 19% of triclopyr was metabolized at 6 h and was similar among flooded and nonflooded rice cultivars. Absorption, translocation, and metabolism of triclopyr did not differ among rice cultivars or flooding treatments.
