Abstract

The fate of 3-(p-chlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea (monuron), 2-chloro-4,6-bis(ethylamino)-s-triazine (simazine), and 2-chloro-4-ethylamino-6-isopropylamino-s-triazine (atrazine) in Wymore silty clay loam soil at Lincoln, Bridgeport loam soil at North Platte, and Rosebud loam soil at Alliance, Nebraska, was followed during a 16-month period. Oats grown for 40 days in the field as a bioassay crop showed that simazine and atrazine were less phytotoxic in the finer textured soil where the rainfall was highest. Soybean bioassays in soil from different horizons showed a higher concentration of monuron remaining in the 0- to 3-inch soil horizons than of simazine or atrazine. There was a marked decrease of monuron phytotoxicity in the 3- to 18-inch soil layer 16 months after as compared to 4 months after the herbicide application. Atrazine showed the greatest leaching of the three herbicides in this study.
