White bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) was used to study the antagonism caused by Na-bentazon onthe phytotoxic action of the sulfonylurea (SU) herbicide tritosulfuron. After 168 h, uptake andtranslocation of [14C]tritosulfuron were reduced by 60 and 89%, respectively, when Na-bentazon wasadded to the mixture. Addition of (NH4)2SO4 or replacement of Na-bentazon with NH4-bentazoncompletely eliminated the negative effects on [14C]tritosulfuron uptake but not on its translocation.Scanning electron microscopy revealed that a mixture of Na-bentazon plus tritosulfuron plus DASHHC (0.156%) formed a rough layer of grain-like crystals on the leaf surface, whereas the addition of(NH4)2SO4 or replacement of Na-bentazon with NH4-bentazon resulted in amorphous deposits thatmay be more easily absorbed. The antagonism of tritosulfuron's phytotoxicity by Na-bentazon involvestwo separate processes, chemical (uptake effect) and biochemical (translocation effect).
