($19.50/lb; granular,

emulsifiable concentrate)
of growth. Chlorpropham is absorbed through the
coleoptiles of emerging grass plants and through the
roots of older plants. It is readily translocated
upward in the plant. It inhibits root and epicotyl
growth, and suppresses transpiration and respiration.
It also disrupts cell division, and inhibits RNA and
protein synthesis. It is adsorbed on organic matter
and broken down by microorganisms. It is a volatile
herbicide with a half-life in soil of 30 days at 98 F.

Especially effective against members of the polygona-
acid ($130.00/lb;
ceae, compositae (Canada thistle) and leguminosae
dispersible granule)
(mesquite) families while showing poor activity
against species of grasses and crucifers (mustards).
Its use with 2,4-D, MCPA, and dicamba extends the
spectrum of species controlled. Physiological action
thought to be similar to the phenoxy herbicides. Not
strongly adsorbed by soil and could be subject to
leaching. It is degraded by microbes in soil with a
half-life of 12 to 70 days.
