Abstract: | Root applications of 0.1 M 6-benzyladenine (BA) and 10.0 M indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) enhanced or inhibited, respectively, root bud growth in hydroponically grown Canada thistle [Cirsium arvense (L.) Scop.]. Translocation of14C-glyphosate [N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine] into roots was positively correlated with this growth. Foliar applications of ethephon or chlorfluorenol also enhanced root bud growth, but glyphosate translocation was only weakly correlated with such growth in soil-grown Canada thistle. At glyphosate rates above 0.56 kg/ha, root bud growth was not stimulated by plant growth regulators (PGRs) and basipetal translocation was not enhanced. Paradoxically, ethephon and chlorflurenol restrained root bud growth in the field since thistle control steadily improved during the 3 years following treatment. |
