Abstract :

The impact of two formulations of clomazone (herbicide Command 480 EC and alginate capsules) on the growth and development of winter rape cv. Bellevue in controlled conditions was studied. It was found that winter rape was more tolerant to clomazone immobilised in alginate matrix than to clomazone in standard formulation EC. Clomazone in EC formulation significantly reduced the content of chlorophyll a, b and a + b and the total content of carotenoids. A highly negative impact of clomazone in the form of herbicide Command 480 EC on the efficiency of the photosynthetic apparatus of tasted plants was observed.
