Transcuticular Penetration of Foliar-Applied Pesticides — Its Analysis by a Logistic-Kinetic Penetration Model

  • Chapter

Abstract

The surface of terrestrial parts of higher plants is generally covered by a thin extracellular structure called the plant cuticle. The plant cuticle (from the atmospheric side) consists of three layers, which are epicuticular waxes, a cuticularized layer and a cutinized layer. Epicuticular waxes are a thin deposition on the outer layer made up of mainly hydrohobic, very long-chain fatty acid derivatives, the cuticularized layer is a matrix of cutin polymer structure in which long-chain-fatty acids are embedded, and the cutinized layer is the innermost part of a cutin structure which contacts the subcuticular space composed of hemicellulosic and pectinous substances as an apoplastic space to the epidermal cells (Cutler et al. 1982; Kerstiens 1996).
