Abstract
Root uptake and translocation of radio-labelled nitrofluorfen and oxyfluorfen were examined in whole plants of fababeans and S. viridis and metabolism of the herbicides was studied using fababean leaf discs and S. viridis leaf segments. Both herbicides were taken up readily from nutrient solution but translocation was limited. In fababeans, 4.6% of the nitrofluorfen label was translocated to the shoot as compared to 2.2% of the oxyfluorfen label. Less than 10% of the nitrofluorfen or oxyfluorfen taken up by leaf tissue was metabolized after 24 h. This rate of metabolism would not be likely to influence the herbicidal action of either herbicide. From summary
