Abstract
Application of 0.44 kg/ha 2,4-D and 0.16 kg/ha picloram in combination impaired development of red mangrove (Rhizophora mangle) seedlings. Higher treatments caused desiccation of leaves and cortical destruction in roots. Herbicides were translocated to all parts of the plant and residues were greatest in the upper leaves and hypocotyl.

Mangroves are trees or bushes growing between the level of high water of spring tides and a level close to but above mean sea-level and the land animals found in mangrove forests include roosting flocks of fruit bats, fishing and insectivorous birds, and many insects are conspicuous.
