| Abstract | This study evaluated the effects and potential recovery of the surrogate aquatic macrophyte Lemna minor exposed to the herbicide norflurazon for 10 days under controlled conditions. Decreases in frond production occurred as early as 2 days after treatment (DAT) at concentrations ≥250 μg/L. The observed no observable-adverse effects and lowest observable-adverse effects concentrations during the 2-, 6-, and 10-day exposure periods were 100/250, 10/25, and 10/25 μg/L, respectively, for total frond production. The estimated EC50 value for total frond production was 24.9 ± 4.1 μg/L (6 days of exposure). Symptoms of norflurazon toxicity (bleaching of foliage) were apparent within 2 DAT for concentrations ≥25 μg/L with 30–39 % of the fronds within each treatment exhibiting symptoms of toxicity. After 6- and 10-day exposures, 69–77 and 80–95 % of these plants showed toxic symptoms, respectively. Symptoms of toxicity for the 10 μg/L treatment first appeared at 4 DAT (51 % of fronds were symptomatic), peaked at 91 % 8 DAT, and were only 2 % at 10 DAT, thus indicating recovery. Norflurazon toxicity was eventually reversible at all concentrations once it was removed from the nutrient solutions. After 17 days of recovery (27 DAT), growth rates for all concentrations ≤250 μg/L were similar to those of the controls. Growth rates for all treatment concentrations recovered to control levels after 28 days of recovery (38 DAT). |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
