- Better mobility of herbicides in plants (correct)
- Translocation of herbicide from roots to shoots
Why is Convolvulus arvensis selective to diphenamid?
Why is Convolvulus arvensis selective to diphenamid?
- Because it fails to translocate diphenamid away from its roots
- Because it rapidly translocates the herbicide from roots to shoots (correct)
- Because it deactivates the herbicide through metabolism
- Because it is susceptible to phytotoxic action of diphenamid
