Abstract

Chlorophyll a fluorescence measurement is a useful tool for studying the herbicides' effects with different modes of action on the photosynthetic apparatus. In this research, the chlorophyll a fluorescence response of common cocklebur (Xanthium strumarium L.) plants was studied two days after the sole application of different doses of the Lumax herbicide (s-metolachlor + mesotrione + terbuthylazine), and combined with the almond oil. The quantum yield of energy dissipation (F0/Fm) and minimum fluorescence (F0) values of the plants treated with the 100% herbicide dose increased significantly from 0.16 to 0.25 and 296 to 391, respectively, two days after treatment. These changes in PSII resulted in the reduction of the maximum quantum yield of PSII (Fv/Fm) and the PSII function index (PIABS). Moreover, the application of high doses of the herbicide decreased the variable fluorescence (Fv), the maximum fluorescence (Fm), the size of the plastoquinone pool on the reducing side of photosystem II (Area), the maximum efficiency of water-splitting complex on the donor side of the photosystem II (Fv/F0), the energy needed for the closure of reaction centers (Sm), and the intermediate redox state of quinone A in the period from F0 to Fm. Our study revealed that the use of almond oil with the Lumax herbicide caused further reduction of the chlorophyll a fluorescence parameters in common cocklebur. The correlation between dry weight taken 28 days after the herbicide application and Fv/Fm measured two days after the herbicide application showed that assessing the chlorophyll a fluorescence parameters can speed up the rate of herbicide performance evaluation up to 12 times. The steeper slope of the regression line for herbicide with almond oil compared to the herbicide alone showed that almond oil could be a proper adjuvant to increase the herbicide efficiency.
