Abstract
Field studies have shown primisulfuron to be more injurious to sugarbeet than nicosulfuron 1 and 2 yr after herbicide application. Experiments were initiated to determine if primisulfuron is more injurious to sugarbeet grown in a nutrient culture and if the difference in sugarbeet response is a result of greater uptake, translocation, or acetolactate synthase (ALS) site sensitivity with primisulfuron. Concentrations of primisulfuron and nicosulfuron that reduced sugarbeet growth by 50% were 1.9 and 8.9 μg ai L −1 , respectively, at pH 6.5. The pH of the nutrient solution did not influence sugarbeet response to either herbicide. Uptake of primisulfuron was greater (3%) than that of nicosulfuron (1%). Translocation (expressed as a percent of uptake) of nicosulfuron was more rapid than primisulfuron. Fifty-seven percent of the absorbed nicosulfuron translocated out of the root during the 12-h pulse period, while an equal concentration of primisulfuron was not translocated out of the root until 48 h after pulsing. The total nicosulfuron translocated after 144 h was half that of primisulfuron. The nutrient solution taken up by sugarbeet in the 12-h pulse period was reduced by 41% in the presence of either herbicide compared to the untreated control. The ALS enzyme was a minimum of 15 times more sensitive to primisulfuron compared to nicosulfuron which may account for greater sugarbeet response to primisulfuron.
