The results indicatedthat excessive application of acetochlor and urea, when the coninhibitory effects on the rate of seed germination, root elongation and hypocotyl length of Chinese cabbage. The inhibitory rate of the germinating characteristics of Chinese cabbage seeds was significantly increased with an increase in the concentration of acetochlor or urea. The two agrochemicals in water had a stronger toxicity than these in the soil at the same concentration.Among the three indexes, hypocotyl length was the most sensitive to the toxicity of acetochlor and urea.展开更多
