ABSTRACT: The goal of the study was to evaluate the effect of 2.4-D and clomazone doses on the growth of the submerged macrophytes Egeria densa and E. najas, in microassay conditions. Therefore, tests were conducted in a bioassay room at the temperature of 27.0 ± 2.0 °C, photoperiod of 24 light hours and illumination of 500 lux. The apical fragments (shoot tips) of the macrophytes with 5.0 cm of length were transferred to test tubes with a 100 mL capacity, containing 70 mL of water. The tested concentrations were: 0.1; 1.0; 3.5; 11.2; 36.5; and 118.0 mg L-1 and a control sample with seven replications. In the test with 2.4-D on E. densa, in the control sample treatment and the 0.1 mg L-1 treatment there was shorter length: at 1.0; 3.5; 11.2; 36.5 and 118.0... |
