Effects of Herbicides on Submerged Seed Plants

摘要

The effect of various concentrations of three herbicides on underwater seed plants was investigated. The herbicides used were atrazine, glyphosate, and metribuzin. The plants exposed to one or more of these herbicides were elodea (Elodea canadensis), wild-celery or vallisneria (Vallisneria americana), redhead grass (Potamogeton perfoliatus), Eurasian watermilfoil (Myrlophyllum spicatum), egeria (Egeria densa), fanwort or cabomba (Cabomba carolininiana), and milfoil (Myriophyllum sp.).
