e0“A 10 -3 M concentration of the herbicide did not reduce germination as much as 10% for corn ( Zea mays L. ‘Pioneer 3369A’), English pea ( Pisum sativum L. ‘Thomas Laxton’), sicklepod ( Cassia obtusifolia L.), or wheat ( Triticum aestivum L. ‘Coker 68–15′)”

- Intervention effect Four kg/ha in all zones decreased English pea seedling height and dry weight about 98%.
- Intervention effect At 10 -5 M, metolachlor decreased leucine uptake in cucumber root tips but not incorporation into protein.
- Intervention effect At 10 -4 M, metolachlor strongly reduced leucine uptake and slightly decreased incorporation into protein.
