Abstract
High accumulation of32P was observed in the leaves of intact gherkin plants 9 days after their roots had been treated with 0.005% suspension of the systemic fungicide Folcidin 50WP (cypendazole),i.e. 8 days after the roots had been exposed to labelled phosphate. Folcidin also influenced phosphorus metabolism in the plants. High biologic cytokinin-like activity of the fungicide was established when using a callus cytokinin bioassay.
