title: [Mutagenic effect of the herbicide Titus in maize].
abstract: Mutagenic effect of the new herbicide titus has been studied by the tests of chromosome aberration and gene mutations in maize. It has been shown that the preparation in question possesses a definite mutagenic activity, which sometimes 5-7 times exceeded the level of spontaneous mutating. Therefore, when recommending it for application in agriculture it is necessary strict following recommended doses, because even slight excess may result in considerable genetic consequences. It is also of great importance to apply this herbicide during the recommended stage. The application of titus for maize in hybridization plots as well as in nurseries for reproduction of elite and super elite lines is not recommended.
