Early Growth Effects of Flurazole as a Safener against Acetochlor in Grain Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor)
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 June 2017
Abstract
Flurazole [phenylmethyl 2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)-5-thiazolecarboxylate] and acetochlor [2-chloro-N-(ethoxymethyl)-N-(2-ethyl-6-methylphenyl)acetamide] were examined in the laboratory and greenhouse for effects on grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench ‘G-522 DR’]. Flurazole did not protect against acetochlor-induced inhibition of primary root growth when sorghum was grown in distilled water, but some safening occurred after 8 days when nutrients were available. Flurazole did not protect primary roots completely. In the presence of nutrients, however, flurazole stimulated growth of the mesocotyl roots and protected the second adventitious root system.
