Fig. 6.7 Penetration into barley leaves at 25 ◦ C <strong>of</strong> 2,4-D, triadimenol (TRI), bitertanol (BIT)<br />

<strong>and</strong> pentachlorophenol (PCP). Permeance was calculated from rates <strong>of</strong> penetration. Vertical bars<br />

represent 95% confidence intervals. (Data taken from Schreiber <strong>and</strong> Schönherr 1992a)<br />

Fig. 6.8 Penetration <strong>of</strong> PCP into conifer needles at 25 ◦ C. Penetration was biphasic. Rates <strong>of</strong><br />

penetration (slopes) <strong>and</strong> y-intercepts differed among plant species. Vertical bars represent 95%<br />

confidence intervals. (Redrawn from data <strong>of</strong> Schreiber <strong>and</strong> Schönherr 1992b)
