Absorption, translocation, and metabolism of root-absorbed 14C-Monitor in loblolly pine seedlings
Werner, R.A., 1973: Absorption, translocation, and metabolism of root-absorbed 14C-Monitor in loblolly pine seedlings. Journal of Economic Entomology 66(4): 867-872
In tests in North Carolina, Monitor (O,S-dimethyl phosphoramidothioate) labelled with radioactive carbon (14C) was readily absorbed by the roots of seedlings of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) that were 55 and 155 days old and was translocated to the needles within 6 hours of continuous uptake. Seedlings grown in vermiculite absorbed significantly more of the compound than did seedlings grown in nutrient solution.
