Effect of crop presence on persistence of atrazine, metribuzin, and clomazone in surface soils
1996
Gallaher, K. | Mueller, T.C.
Atrazine, metribuzin, and clomazone half-lives averaged over treatments and seasons were approximately 27, 22, and 55 d, respectively. Clomazone dissipation was not affected by the presence or absence of a soybean crop. Atrazine and metribuzin dissipation was not affected by crops in 1992, but was more rapid in no-crop plots than in cropped plots in 1993. The difference may have been the result of higher soil water content with no-crop (a few weeds present) in 1993 than either corn or soybean. Lower soil moisture may have slowed soil microbial activity, thus suppressing atrazine and metribuzin degradation in the 1993 growing season. Few significant correlations were found between herbicide half-life or herbicide concentration and cocklebur growth, although one would expect these to be an index of activity.
