Abstract


Results of research on the applicability of the luminescence method for estimation of phytotoxicity of herbicides inhibiting photosynthesis (atrazine, terbutrine, linuron) are presented. This method was tested on wheat, barley and oat seedlings. Measurements of dry weight and photosynthesis intensity were done for comparison. The results show the possibility of replacing standard methods by the luminescence test since it is easier to perform and more precise than the standard ones.
