ABSTRACT Herbicides aminocyclopyrachlor and indaziflam are under development in Brazil. Information about the behaviors in Brazilian soils and climate is scarce. Thus, the present work has aimed to evaluate the persistence of biological activity and leaching potential of aminocyclopyrachlor and indaziflam in contrasting textured soils by means of bioassays. For the evaluation of persistence, four experiments were performed, in which soils with different textures were studied in different time periods between herbicide application and bioindicator sowing (beet and soybeans). To determine leaching potential, three blades of rainfall (0, 30 and 60 mm) were simulated, each constituting a single experiment in soils with different textures and five bands of depth in the columns. The bioindicator used for the leaching tests was beet. The persistence of biological activity of aminocyclopyrachlor and indaziflam was greater than 150 days. In clayey soil there was less persistent aminocyclopyrachlor than in the loam texture. For indaziflam there was no difference in persistence between the two soils. Regarding the leaching potential, it was observed that the precipitations have the capacity to interfere with the leaching of herbicides aminocyclopyrachlor and indaziflam. Aminocyclopyrachlor has greater potential for leaching than indaziflam. The first one has its mobility increased when applied to soil of loam texture in relation to very clayey soil. As for indaziflam, marked differences between soils with different textures have not been noticed.
