Conclusions On the average, it would appear that at least six h are needed, without rain, to insure 50% absorption of MSMA by Johnsongrass —but as much as 155 h would be needed before absorption reaches the 90% level. The latter is practically impossible owing to loss of physiological function by the plant. Rapid initial absorption is highly desirable in terms of herbicidal effectiveness since it allows use of the compound under threat of rain. Unfortunately, the same rapidity suggests that quick action would be needed to reduce internalized and thus persistent levels in treated areas in the case of access by grazing animals.
