Abstract
In greenhouse studies, magnesium-deficient tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) plants were more susceptible to 2-chloro-4-(ethylamino)-6-(isopropylamino)-s-triazine (atrazine) than normal plants when grown under continuous light. Under a 12-hr photoperiod, magnesium-atrazine interactions were not significant. Magnesium deficiency and continuous light each caused reductions in chlorophyll content in tomatoes. A combination of these two conditions caused an additive reduction in chlorophyll content and also caused the greatest susceptibility to atrazine. The influence of magnesium on atrazine toxicity may be due to its effect on chlorophyll content rather than a direct effect on atrazine action.
