Abstract
Propazine did not affect plumule growth, root development or germination percentage of three sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) varieties at applied concns. of up to 100 ppm. Propachlor reduced the growth of plumules and primary roots and reduced germination at concns. of 10, 100 and 1000 ppm, respectively. Noruron inhibited primary root development more than plumule development and caused severe stunting at 100 ppm; germination was affected at 1000 ppm. In sand culture under glasshouse conditions, propazine slightly reduced aerial growth of all sorghum varieties and markedly reduced total root growth at 0.16-1.5 ppm. Propachlor produced no marked differences in the root:shoot ratio in sorghum, but total growth was reduced at all concns. All concns. of noruron produced severe damage. Propachlor and propazine increased root growth of maize
