Extract

When wheat seedlings are injured by trichloroacetate (TCA) the leaves turn yellow in much the same manner as do those on plants growing in media where the nutrients are unbalanced. Accordingly, there is the possibility that TCA may have some effect on the intake of plant nutrients, and that injury was actually the result of nutrient starvation.
