Abstract
The article presents the findings of the research into the influence of different rates of herbicide Prima Forte 195 and its mixtures with plant growth regulator Wuxal BIO Vita on the activity of main anti-oxidant enzymes (catalase, peroxidase, polyphenol oxidase) in the plants of a common amelcorn. It has been found that under the influence of Prima Forte 195 at the rates of 0.5; 0.6 and 0.7 l/hа applied separately as well as in the mixtures with Wuxal BIO Vita 1.0 l/ha the activity of the enzymes under study increased considerably in a common amelcorn. This indicates that xenobiotic directly affects the state of antioxidant systems, that become active in response to reactive oxygen species, formed as a result of the intensification of metabolic processes in plants.
