Herbicidal activity of foliar-applied oxyfluorfen [2-chloro-1-(3-ethoxy-4-nitrophenoxy)-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzene] was light dependent in buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentumMoench. ‘Tokyo’). Plants were not injured when placed in the dark for as long as 4 days after herbicide treatment. When these plants were brought to the light, injury occurred, albeit more slowly than when plants were placed in the light immediately after treatment. The rate of injury increased as light intensity increased. The most effective wave length was 565 to 615ηm, suggesting the involvement of a pigment with its absorption spectrum in this region. Chlorophyll content was not reduced by oxyfluorfen. Preliminary evidence suggests that photosynthesis was affected only after membrane integrity was disrupted.

New measurements of the absorption of filtered gamma-rays from radium (B + C) in aluminium, carbon and lead have been made. A small condenser type of ionization chamber has been used, which overcomes many of the difficulties usually inherent in this kind of measurement. Detailed consideration has been given to the corrections which must be applied to ionization measurements before absorption coefficients can be calculated. From the most recent theories of absolution by scattering, photoelectric effect, and electron pair formation, total absorption coefficients for lead over the wave-length range concerned have been calculated. The problem of the effective wave-length of a filtered heterogeneous gamma-ray beam is discussed in some detail, and a proposed method of estimation put forward. Comparison of the calculations of µ / ρ with the experimental figures indicates that the photoelectric absorption rises more rapidly with increasing wave-length than is predicted by theory.
