title: Herbicidal activity of sulforaphene from stock (Matthiola incana).
abstract: A herbicidal compound was isolated from extracts ofMatthiola incana and identified as sulforaphene (4-methylsulfinyl-3-butenyl isothiocyanate). The ED50 of this compound against velvetleaf seedlings was approximately 2×10(-4) M. Glucoraphenin, the glucosinolate that is the natural precursor of sulforaphene, was less phytotoxic, with an ED50 of near 6×10(-3)M.
