Stunting, reddening

Description

ALS inhibiting herbicide injury can result in stunting and reddening resembling phosphorus deficiency. ALS herbicide carryover increases with higher soil pH and lower rainfall. Symptoms may appear after the seedling stage when the root system is large enough to take up sufficient herbicide to cause injury.
