Abstract

When applied in enough water to wet tubes of dry Pullman silty clay loam top soil to a depth of 22 inches, dimethylamine salts of 2,3,6-trichlorobenzoic acid (2,3,6-TBA) and polychlorobenzoic acid (PBA) were leached to about 20 inches; an amine salt of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and the sodium salt of 2,3,6-trichlorophenylacetic acid (fenac) leached to 15 inches; esters of fenac, 3-phenyl-1,1-dimethylurea (fenuron), 3-(p-chlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea (monuron) and amine salts of 2-(2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyl)propionic acid (silvex) and 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy-acetic acid (2,4,5-T) leached to approximately 9 inches. Esters of silvex, 2,4,5-T, and 2,4-D remained in the top 3 inches of soil. The leaching with additional water was in the same general order as just given.
