The response of Potamogeton crispus L. to chemical control after inducing sprouting to the dormant buds of the turions with Benzyl adenine.

Abstract: Attempts were made to examine the response of Potamogeton crispus L. to chemical control after inducing sprouting to all the dormant buds on the turions with Benzyl adenine (BA). The results show good evidence of increased susceptibility of Potamogeton crispus L. to chemical control following increased sprouting.
Treatment with 25 ppm morphactin caused complete decay after 3 days to the leaves and shoots of 2 weeks –old sprouted turions.
Treatment with low concentrations of 2,4-D and alachlor were also effective in killing the emerged leaves and shoots after 8 and 10 days respectively.
Malic hydrazide (MH) failed to show any herbicidal activity after increased sprouting with Benzyl Adenine (BA).
