Abstract
This research was carried out to investigate the influences of temperature and light on the herbicidal activity of oxyfluorfen, oxadiazon and paraquat. Increased temperature from 10 to $35^{\circ}C$ resulted in increase of herbicidal activity in whole plants or leaf discs treated with herbicides. It seemed that temperature affected herbicide penetration into and reaction to the action site rather than appearance process of herbicidal activity (maybe membrane peroxidation after being absorbed. The activity of compounds tested increased with increased light intensity. Paraquat showed similar activities regardless of light qualities but oxyfluorfen and oxadiazon showed the highest activities in blue light spectrum, indicating that they seemed to be closely related to chlorophyll biosynthesis rather than carotenoid biosynthesis or electron transport systems of photosynthesis and respiration.
Bleaching herbicides(oxyfluorfen, oxadiazon, paraquat)의 작용발현에 영향을 미치는 온도 및 광의 효과를 조사한 결과 oxyfluorfen 과 oxadiazon의 제초활성은 $10-35^{\circ}C$에서 온도가 증가될수록 높았으며 온도의 효과는 제초작용 발현단계(photooxidation) 보다는 그 이전 단계에서 더욱 큰 영향이었다. 처리약제 모두 광도가 높을수록 활성이 강하였으며 paraquat 는 광질간의 활성차이가 없었으나 oxyfluorfen 및 oxadiazon 은 챙색광에서 높은 활성을 보였고 이들 두 약제에 대한 광의 효과는 광합성 및 호흡의 전자전달계나 carotenoid 생합성 보다는 chlorophyll 생합성 과정과 일정한 관련이 있다.
