Abstract

Amitrole-5-C14 was rapidly degraded in unsterile soil but underwent only minor modification in sterile soil. An unidentified chemical product of amitrole was formed in both sterile and unsterile soil. The principle metabolic product of amitrole was carbon dioxide; however, at least 13 additional compounds were formed. One or more metabolic compounds formed from amitrole are tenaciously bound to the soil and appear to be resistant to degradation.
