Recent studies (1, 3, 4) lhave demonstrated that the salts of trichloroacetic acid (TCA) are soil sterilants and are, therefore, useful as herbicides for the control of annual and perennial weedy grasses. Since little information (1, 5) is available on the physiological action of TCA on plants, a study was made to determine its effect upon the various chemnical constituents of wheat seedlings. This paper presents data on respiratory activity and chemical analyses for amino acids, carbohydrates, and ether extract for the shoots and roots of wheat seedlings grown in soil treated with sodium trichloroacetate and non-treated soil.
