Abstract: Growth of greenhouse-grown seedlings of 8 peach ( Prunus persica (L.) Batsch.) cultivars was inhibited when the herbicide 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile (dichlobenil) was soil-incorporated at 9 kg/ha but certain cultivars recovered. ‘Kalamazoo’ peach seedlings grew faster than the control either 5 to 11 weeks or 8 to 15 weeks after treatment when dichlobenil was placed below the soil surface in coned spot applications. Treated plants had lower impedance after cold-treatment and greater apical stem injury after freezing. ‘Rutgers’ peach seedlings had decreased stem diam and a distinct bending of the stem in response to dichlobenil.
