The Influence of Formulation, Buffering, pH and Divalent Cations on the Activity of Endothall on Hydrilla.

Endothall has been used as an aquatic herbicide for morethan 40 years and provides very effective weed control ofmany weeds. Early research regarding the mechanism-of-actionof endothall contradicts the symptomology normally associatedwith the product. Recent studies suggest endothallis a respiratory toxin but the mechanism-of-action remainsunknown. To further elucidate the activity of endothall, severalendothall formulations were evaluated for their effectson ion leakage, oxygen consumption and photosynthetic oxygenevolution from hydrilla shoot tips. The influence of pH,buffering and divalent cations was also evaluated. (PDF contains 6 pages.)
