A compound that moves freely within a plant so that application to one area will result in movement to all areas of the plant to exert its effect.
Complementary action of different chemicals so that the total effect is greater than the sum of the independent effects.
A liquid or gas in which very fine solid particles are dispersed but not dissolved.
A material used in formulations to impart emulsifiability, spreading, wetting, dispersibility, or other surface-modifying properties.
Due to surface molecular forces, a drop of liquid tends to form an apparent membrane that causes it to ball up rather than to spread as a film.
Reduction, but not elimination, of weed population.
Results produced in test animals by long-term exposure to repeated doses or concentrations of a substance.
Retardation of growth and development of weeds or crops.
Aboveground runners or slender stems that develop roots and shoots and new plants at the tips or nodes, as in the straw- berry plant.
A seedbed developed by tilling the soil before crop planting to stimulate weed emergence, but where the tools used to remove the weeds are applied after the crop is planted.
