The effect of different inocula sizes on the toxicity of the herbicides machete, basalin and propalin was tested. The inocula sizes gave differential response pattern towards a particular herbicide dose and, as such, the employment of a specific dose inoculum response is suggested. Furthermore, Gloeocapsa sp. showed remarkable herbicide resistance potential while Nostoc muscorum was quite susceptible to all the herbicides.
