Extract

The compound, 3–amino–1,2,4–triazole (amitrole), has been used as an herbicide against different weed species with varying degrees of success. In the field, Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense (L.) Scop.) has been found relatively susceptible while field bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis L.) has been found relatively resistant to the action of amitrole. The reason(s) for this difference in sensitivity is not known. Because penetration of amitrole from the surface of the leaf to the interior is the first step in the chain of events leading to a response from a chemical by the treated plant, the nature of this process was examined.
