Abstract
IN many cases the effectiveness of herbicides has been increased by the addition of surface active agents to the spray1–4, but little information is available about the effects of growth regulators on the uptake and metabolism of herbicides by foliage. The object of this work was to investigate the role of gibberellic acid (GA3) and indolyl-3-acetic acid (IAA) on the absorption, diffusion, transloca-tion, and metabolism of 2-chloro-4,6-bis(isopropylamino)-s-triazine (propazine) by the upper and lower surfaces of tea leaves, Camellia sinensis.
