The Effects of Fusilade (Fluazifop-p-butyl) on Root and Shoot Growth of Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) Seedlings

Abstract

The present study has been carried out to investigate the effects of the herbicide Fusilade (Fluazifop-p-butyl) on root and shoot
growth of lentil seedlings. Four different doses of Fusilade (0.25%, 0.5%, 1% and 1.5%) were used in (Fluazifop-p-butyl) Lens
culinaris seeds and leaves. The obtained results indicate that shoot growth and lateral root growth was reduced in Fusilade treated
groups. Leaf deformations like chlorosis, curling, expansion and asymmetry was observed in Fusilade treated leaves. It was also
seen that leaf treatment was more sensitive than seed treatment against the effects of herbicide Fusilade.
