Protection From Weed Killer Found for Crops
A Wisconsin team reported isolating a plant hormone that helps crops resist injury from weed killers like 2 4 D. The hormone may regulate abnormal growth and reduce crown gall effects, with studies also on tumors in animals. Drs Robert Roberts and Esther Struckmeyer presented at the American Institute of Biological Sciences meeting in Madison with about 4000 biologists in attendance. The hormone cannot yet be dissolved in water, hindering plant injections. A separate report described using calcium sprays to combat celery blackheart disease, which causes substantial losses from Canada to Bermuda.
