Extract

The table briefly summarizes research findings involving the translocation of organic herbicides and certain selected growth regulators in higher plants. Gibberellic acid, indoleacetic acid, naphthaleneacetic acid and other “on-herbicide” growth regulators are for the most part not listed except when used in experiments with the more generally accepted herbicides. For tabular information on translocation of auxins and other growth substances, the reader is referred to the Handbook of Biological Data, mentioned later. Information in the table is based on techniques which primarily utilize foliar application and for the most part does not include application via root system, injection, or bark application. As a consequence, most substances listed may be assumed to be transported predominantly in the phloem, but in numerous cases the compounds also move into the xylem.
