Abstract
There now exists an extensive literature on the uptake and translocation of herbicides in plants. In this brief review, it is intended to elucidate the general principles that govern the transport of pesticides in plants. The transport behavior of the different classes of herbicides will be considered, together with ways of using physicochemical properties to predict the likely behavior of new chemicals. It should be noted that the processes of sorption in soil, of cuticular penetration in the case of foliar-applied compounds, and of metabolism in the plant all influence the availability of herbicides for uptake and redistribution in plants, and these factors are the subjects of separate chapters in this book. Interpretation of the literature on systemic transport usually needs substantial consideration of these additional factors.
