- Abstract
The influence of pyrazon, norflurazon and glyphosate on post-luminescence decay and fluorescence emission was studied. Pyrazon and norflurazon significantly increased postluminescence decay in wheat (<em>Triticum vulgare</em> L.) and cuckoo flower (<em>Cardamine pratensis</em> L.). Pyrazon was much more active than norflurazon in this respect. No influence of glyphosate on post-luminescence and the emission of fluorescence was observed. Measurements of post-luminescence decay and fluorescence emission can serve to define some aspects of herbicidal phytotoxicity and provide information on the initial action of those compounds that inhibit photosynthesis.
