[Phytotoxicity of hydrazones of aromatic aldehydes]. 1976

M Mazza, and L Montanari, and F Pavanetto

A series of hydrazones of aromatic aldehydes (B) was prepared and tested for phytotoxicity. These compounds are bioisosters of 1-aryltriazenes (A) which were found to possess interesting phytotoxic properties in a previous research. The substances studied (Tables I leads to III: compounds(I leads to CLXXX)) some of which were previously unrecorded, were prepared by the usual procedures from the required aldehyde and hydrazine derivative. The phytotoxicity of all the compounds was studied using seven representative species in both pre- and post-emergence tests at a dose of 6 kg/ha. It was found that this class of compounds shows phytotoxicity by absorption through the foliage with specificity for Amaranthus retroflexus L. The only exceptions are compounds where the aryl residue is 2,6-dichlorophenyl; these compounds show wide spectrum of phytotoxicity by absorption through the leaves.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010944 Plants Multicellular, eukaryotic life forms of kingdom Plantae. Plants acquired chloroplasts by direct endosymbiosis of CYANOBACTERIA. They are characterized by a mainly photosynthetic mode of nutrition; essentially unlimited growth at localized regions of cell divisions (MERISTEMS); cellulose within cells providing rigidity; the absence of organs of locomotion; absence of nervous and sensory systems; and an alternation of haploid and diploid generations. It is a non-taxonomical term most often referring to LAND PLANTS. In broad sense it includes RHODOPHYTA and GLAUCOPHYTA along with VIRIDIPLANTAE. Plant
D006540 Herbicides Pesticides used to destroy unwanted vegetation, especially various types of weeds, grasses (POACEAE), and woody plants. Some plants develop HERBICIDE RESISTANCE. Algaecide,Algicide,Herbicide,Algaecides,Algicides
