It was investigated the phytotoxicity as well as the fate of dinobuton and dinobutonmethyl in bean and cucumber plants and in apple fruits. Dinobutonmethyl is more phytotoxic than dinobuton. Generally dinobuton and dinobutonmethyl behave similarly after application on the apple surface and also after treatment of the leaves of bean and cucumber plants. After 3–5 days only about 50% of the applied radioactivity were found on the surface of the systems. Probably dinobuton and dinobutonmethyl as well as dinoseb as hydrolysis product are able to leave the plant systems unchanged.
