The rates of uptake and loss of ethylenethiourea ( E T U ) in lettuces were studied following the application of ethylenethiourea or selected ethylenebisdithiocarbamate fungicides to the soil or to the leaves of potgrown plants. Analyses were carried out using high performance liquid chromatographic analysis of E T U . The amounts of ETU residues on leaves decreased rapidly and were negligible within a week, unless ethylenebisdithiocarbamate fungicides had been applied to the soil, as the latter were degraded simultaneously to give additional ETU which was then taken up by the plants.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
