LALLANA, María del C.; BILLARD, Cristina E.; ELIZALDE, José H.  and  LALLANA, Víctor H.. Brief revision about plants cuticle characteristics and herbicide penetration. Cienc. docencia tecnol. [online]. 2006, n.33, pp.229-241. ISSN 1851-1716.

This paper presents a brief review about the characteristics of the plants cuticle and its relationship with herbicide penetration as well as about the factors affecting that penetration. Structural aspects like waxes cuticle and environmental characteristics that determine the correct absorption of the herbicide were taken into account. References to a study carried out on Eryngium horridum, the presence of stomata and the differential penetration of the herbicides in sheaf and back of the leaves were done.

Keywords : Cuticle; Absorption; Herbicide.
