| Abstract: | Some benzophenones substituted with methyl, methoxy, hydroxy or halogen groups inhibited growth and induced chlorosis in various plants. The structure activity relationships about the chlorosis-inducing activity and the growth inhibitory activity of the 3-methyl-benzophenones were well expressed by use of hydrophobic contant π, and Hammett’s σ. The highest selectivity for phytotoxic activities against barnyardgrass and the rice plant was with 3,3′-dimethyl-4-methoxybenzophenone (Methoxyphenone). |
