Abstract

Selected, representative research on surfactants, herbicide penetration, and plant cuticles was reviewed briefly. New evidence was presented that surfactants influence the activity of herbicides in oil sprays as spectacularly as in aqueous sprays. Most of the experimental facts about surfactants were integrated in a blanketing theory for entry of herbicides by separate hydrophilic and lipophilic pathways.
