SUMMARY 2,6‐Dichlorobenzamide (BAM) induced leaf margin chlorosis (LMC) on the leaves of kale seedlings and apple trees when applied to the roots. The leaf symptoms were similar to those sometimes seen after use of the herbicides chlorthiamid and dichlobenil. BAM was deposited mainly in the margin of the leaf to which BAM was transported via the transpiration stream. BAM appeared to be the causative agent of chlorosis although hydroxy derivatives of BAM were also present in the leaf. Factors possibly responsible for the variations in the occurrence and in the intensity of LMC are discussed.
