Recovery of Terrestrial Plants in Vegetative Vigor and Seedling Emergence Tests from Exposure to Atrazine
Ten species of terrestrial plants, including six dicotyledonous and four monocotyledonous species, were exposed to a direct overspray of atrazine according to U.S. EPA seedling emergence and vegetative vigor study guidelines and subsequently evaluated for potential recovery. For each species, NOER, ER10, ER25, and ER50 values were calculated (where possible) for a variety of guideline required ...
