Fig 4. SIR plants 10 days after treatments with carfentrazone-ethyl (CE) and malathion applied alone and in combinaton.

Fig 4

Plants at a height of 9–11 cm were treated with either adjuvants only (control), 2000 g ai ha-1 malathion (one hour before CE) plus a 5 mM malathion solution soil drench (50 mL pot-1) two days later, 14 g ai ha-1 CE, or malathion plus CE with the corresponding adjuvants described in Methods. Pictures of injury were taken and aboveground biomass was harvested at 10 DAT to determine dry weight accumulations per treatment. Two independent experiments were conducted with five replications each. Combined means for each treatment (expressed as a percentage of the adjuvant-only control) were 90.8% for malathion-only, 36.5% for CE-only, and 15.2% for the combination of malathion plus CE. A Fisher’s protected LSD value of 13.0 (α = 0.05) was used to determine significant differences among treatments.
