Abstract

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L., var. Selkirk) was most susceptible at the late tiller stage to 4-amino-3,5,6-trichloropicolinic acid (picloram) as determined from weekly applications in the field and the degree of injury increased with rate of picloram. Wheat injury from picloram was manifested by lower kernel yield, greater protein content in the kernels, and reduction in plant height. A reduction in the length of the stem occurred while the length of the flag leaf sheath was not affected. Picloram increased kernel size in 1966 but reduced it in 1965. Picloram did not influence germination of kernels from treated plants. The addition of (2,4-dichlorophenoxy)acetic acid (2,4-D) to picloram tended to increase wheat injury at the 2 to 4-leaf stage.
