Abstract
Absorption of the butyl ether esters of (2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy)-acetic acid (2,4,5-T) by honey mesquite [Prosopis juliflora (Swartz) DC. var. glandulosa (Torr.) Cockerell] foliage was more rapid when 0.56 kg/ha was applied in 15 L/ha paraffin oil than when diesel oil, water, or emulsions of the oils in water were used as carriers. However, carrier had little effect on 2,4,5-T translocation to stems or roots. The percentage of greenhouse-grown honey mesquite plants killed was reduced when 2,4,5-T was applied in diesel oil as compared to other carriers studied.Keywords
