Several effects on pea (Pisum sativun L. var Onwards) choroplasts of a new diphenylether herbicide, fomesafen (5-12-chloro4-trifluoromethylphenoxyl-N-methanesulfonyl-2-nitrobenzamide) have been compared with those of a herbicide of related structure, nitrofluorfen (2-chloro-1-14-nitrophenoxyj4jtrlfluoromethyllbenzene). Although both compounds produce the same liht-dependent symptoms of desiccat...

Fomesafen (FSA) is widely used in soybean fields for weed control. However, the persisting characteristics of FSA agricultural soil or water may become a hidden danger causing environmental pollution and phytotoxicity to succession crops. In this study, growth physiological responses rice were investigated. It was found that seedlings obviously inhibited by exposure especially at over 0.1 mg L?...
