Abstract

The addition of 2-chloro-4,6-bis(ethylamino)-s-triazine (simazine) to nutrient solutions of corn (Zea mays L.) increased the percent of N and total mg of N in one test regardless of the N level in the solution. Under the low N level, the magnitude of this increase was 90 percent with 0.5 ppm simazine. However, in a second experiment, under environmental conditions more favorable for corn growth, the total mg of N was not increased, although the percent nitrogen in the shoots was increased at the lower nitrogen level. Corn plants treated with hydroxy simazine responded similarly to the controls.
