Abstract:The purpose of the study was to determine if foliar applied 2,4-D is translocated in young western ragweed plants. Rhizomes of western ragweed were obtained in the field and grown in a sunroom. The plants were kept well watered and provided additional light from incandescent lamps. Radioactive 2,4-D solution in alcohol was applied to the leaves . Radineutographs were made and radioactive measurements were taken of treated plants. The counting equipment was a 455 Lionel Scaler. The bulk of the radioactive 2,4-D… Show more
