Extract

Foliar application of herbicides, plant regulators, and nutrients is a well established practice. Yet, the many contradictory reports in the literature (7) indicate that the routes of entry into and movement within leaves are not clearly known. This situation has probably arisen because presently available techniques do not precisely establish the location of the penetrant on the cellular level.
