Abstract

Experiments were conducted to determine 14C absorption, translocation, and metabolism by pitted morningglory (Ipomoea lacunosa L. # IPOLA) and ivyleaf morningglory [Ipomoea hederacea (L.) Jacq. # IPOHE] foliarly treated with 14C-acifluorfen [5-(2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy)-2-nitrobenzoic acid] or 14C-lactofen [(±)-2-ethoxy-1-methyl-2-oxoethyl-5-(2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy)-2-dinitrobenzoate]. Seventy-one to 84% of applied 14 C-acifluorfen was recovered in leaf water wash of ivyleaf morningglory compared to 32 to 46% from pitted morningglory. Sixty-four percent of applied 14C-lactofen was recovered in leaf water wash 96 h after treatment in both morningglory species. Thirty-five to 37% more 14C from applied 14C-acifluorfen was found in pitted morningglory treated leaves than ivyleaf morningglory treated leaves. Less than 28% of applied 14C-lactofen was extracted from treated leaves of either morningglory species. Translocation and metabolism of 14C-acifluorfen and 14C-lactofen were minimal in both morningglory species.
