Effects of simulated acid rain and (±)-2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy) propanoic acid on selected crops

Add time:07/28/2019    Source:sciencedirect.com

The effect of foliar-applicated (±)-2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)propanoic acid (2,4-DP) under simultaneous influence of simulated acid rain at pH levels of 3.3, 4.3, and 5.6 was examined for young plants of white mustard, rape, cress, lettuce, radish, carrot, oat, and barley grown in clinmate chambers. After 1–2 weeks with daily showers plants received a single foliar application of 2,4-DP in aqueous solution (500 μl; 0.25–50.0 mg · liter−1). After a post-treatment period of 2–3 weeks with daily showers the plants were sampled. 2,4-DP at 5 mg · liter−1 or higher concentrations caused various symptoms for the dicotyledons. Monocotyledons and carrot remained unaffected. The application of acid rain at pH 3.3 produced morphological changes, increased the symptoms from 2,4-DP, and reduced the dry weight and the leaf to stem ratio. Cress exposed only to acid rain showed necrotic spots and chlorosis at pH 3.3. By decreasing pH taller plants with smaller leaves were observed. The combined effect of acid rain and 2,4-DP was additive rather than synergistic.
