Extract

These studies were an attempt to evaluate some of the factors affecting the detoxification of 2,2–dichloropropionic acid in soils. Residual toxicity is a factor that must be evaluated before effective use can be made of any herbicide. Stability is preferred for purposes of soil sterilization; rapid disappearance of the herbicide may be essential in preplanting treatments; and in foliar applications, rapid disappearance of the material that reaches the soil may be important. Detoxification is usually considered to be the result of one or more of the several processes, decomposition, leaching, adsorption, and volatilization.
