Use of ¹⁴C-labeled and nonlabeled fungicides as seed treatments of soybean showed that benomyl and chloroneb initially tended to localize in cotyledons, while carboxin did not. At 4 days after treatment, chloroneb was redistributed into the hypocotyl and cotyledons, whereas benomyl moved only into the epicotyl. Carboxin was distributed uniformly throughout the seedling, with higher concentrations in the epicotyl.
