The influence of terbutryne (Igran 50) on the accumulation of choline in the grain of three winter wheat varieties ('Holme', 'Kranich', 'Winetou') was investigated in field experiments in the years 1977-1979. Igran 50 (50% S. A.) was applied to the soil in a weed control dose (4 kg/ha). Differences in choline content were found in the grain of the investigated wheat varieties. After application of the herbicide an insignificant decrease of the determined compound content was noted. These changes were dependent on the varieties of wheat and the meteorological conditions of plant vegetation. The climatic conditions, exercised a greater influence on the choline content in grain than the applied herbicide. For this reason it appears from the agricultural point of view that the effect of terbutryne provoking only an insignificant decrease of the determined compound content in the investigated material is of no greater practical importance
