Abstract

The depth of leaching of 3(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea (diuron) in a Yolo sandy clay loam soil was altered by the various types—anionic, cationic, or nonionic—of surfactants. The effects of surfactants Aliquat 204 and Aliquat 221 on the leaching of 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1-methoxy-1-methylurea (linuron), 3-(p-chlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea (monuron), 1-butyl-3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1-methylurea (neburon), and diuron may reflect a sorption complex of the substituted urea herbicide, surfactant, and the soil. This sorption appears to be closely associated with the dilauryl portion of the surfactant molecule. Other surfactants of the Aliquat series containing lauryl, dioctyl, and distearyl substitutions had little or no effect on this sorption phenomenon.
