- Intervention effect Sodium 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetate increased seed yield.
- Intervention effect Sodium methylchlorophenoxyacetate was less phytotoxic than sodium 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetate at similar doses.
- Intervention effect The parent acid was more injurious to linseed.
- Intervention effect The ethyl ester of the dichloro compound was particularly injurious.
- Observation Tolerance to sodium methylchlorophenoxyacetate was greatest from post-cotyledon to 20–25 cm height.
- Intervention effect Up to 3·5 lb./acre during the tolerant stage had no adverse effect on seed yield.
- Intervention effect Treatment within 2–3 weeks of flowering delayed flowering.
- Intervention effect Treatment within 2–3 weeks of flowering reduced seed weight.
- Intervention effect Dichloro compounds produced abortive capsules.
- Intervention effect Dichloro compounds reduced seeds per capsule.
- Observation Under some conditions, seed oil content and germination capacity were depressed.
- Observation Under some conditions, seed protein content increased.
