Canadian water quality guidelines for linuron

“…Because sensitivity of the different shoot zones to soilapplied herbicides is variable and generally species-Ž . specific O'Donovan and Prendeville, 1975 , treatment of soil with linuron in a specific shoot zone will often increase selectivity of the herbicide to the crop. Lin- uron in the soil shoot zone of the first internode did not affect plant growth in peas, whereas in the shoot zones of the second and third internodes, growth was Ž .…”

Effect of linuron and dinosebacetate onVicia faba-Rhizobium leguminosarumsymbiosis

“…However, a reduction of 26% of the dry matter content in soybean plants treated with dinosebacetate 6 weeks after sowing was reported by Johnen et al (1979). O'Donovan and Prendeville (1975) reported also that the application of linuron on dwarf broad bean at the rate of 10.5 mg/kg soil caused a 40-50% growth reduction in the entire shoot zone.…”
