Abstract

A somewhat modified version of Lambert's quantitative treatment of the influence of soil-moisture content on herbicidal activity has been applied to 4-amino-3,5,6-trichloropicolinic acid (picloram) behavior in soil. The bioactivity of picloram decreased as the soil-moisture content was increased. This was due to the effect of varying soil-moisture levels on the concentration of picloram in the soil-water phase.
