RESUMO
The effectiveness of diuron, atrazine, procyazine, and cyanazine were compared in controlling growth of redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus L.) in hydroponic culture. A very marked differential inhibition response was observed for atrazine between resistant and susceptible biotypes. Procyazine and cyanazine exhibited less dramatic differential responses, whereas diuron was equally effective in controlling growth in both biotypes. Photosystem II activity of chloroplasts from both triazine-resistant and triazine-susceptible biotypes was inhibited by diuron but only the chloroplasts from triazine-susceptible biotypes were inhibited significantly by atrazine. The photochemical activity of chloroplasts from triazine-resistant biotypes was partially resistant to procyazine or cyanazine inhibition. The parallel lack of diuron differential effects, partial procyazine and cyanazine differential response, and very marked atrazine differential response in both whole plant and chloroplast assays indicates that the chloroplast is the site of selective herbicide tolerance in these triazine-resistant redroot pigweed biotypes.
