Abstract

At Lincoln 20 lb/A of 2,3,6-trichlorobenzoic acid (2,3,6-TBA) destroyed Clark soybeans five seasons after application. Soil persistence of 2,3,6-TBA in the light textured soils and low rainfall of western Nebraska was less than at Lincoln. A 10 lb/A rate of 3-(p-chlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea (monuron) reduced weed and oat yields at Lincoln the third growing season after its application. Applications of 2-chloro-4-ethylamino-6-isopropylamino-s-triazine (atrazine), 2-chloro-4,6-bis-(ethylamino)-s-triazine (simazine), or monuron at 10 lb/A reduced oat yields at North Platte the third growing season after their application. Herbicide carryover is a greater problem in arid than in humid regions of the United States.
