Abstract

Analysis of 3-tert-butyl-5-chloro-6-methyluracil (terbacil) in treated and untreated pairs of purple nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus L.), connected by rhizomes, indicated translocation of the herbicide. The tops and tubers of connected, untreated plants contained approximately 10% as much terbacil as did plants treated directly.
