Studies on Cacodylic Acid. 1. Effect of Girdling on Movement in Phaseolus Vulgaris

Abstract

Experiments were conducted to study the absorption and translocation of three levels of root-applied cacodylic acid by girdled and nongirdled bean plants (Phaseoulus vulgaris L. var. Black Valentine). Daily visual observations indicated that the effectiveness of root-applied cacodylic acid was not only reduced, but also delayed, by steam-girdling. The data suggest that acropetal translocation of root-applied cacodylic acid occurs in both the xylem and phloem of bean plants and may be time-and concentration-dependent.
