Questions and Answers

What is the reason why equal amounts of herbicides are absorbed by plants, but translocated at different rates?

  • Selective susceptibility of plants to herbicides
  • Differential deactivation of herbicide by plants
  • Better mobility of herbicides in plants (correct)
  • Translocation of herbicide from roots to shoots
  • 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
  • What is the site of phytotoxic action of diphenamid?

  • Stems
  • Shoots
  • Roots (correct)
  • Leaves
  • Why is Avena sativa susceptible to diphenamid?
