Abstract

Foliar applications of 2-chloro-4-ethylamino-6-isopropylamino-s-triazine (atrazine) at 0.05 to 1.0 lb/A caused characteristic injury symptoms on cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) plants. Analytical methods were evaluated and found suitable in detecting atrazine in cucumber leaves sprayed at a low rate of 0.005 lb/A. For analytical detection, tissue samples should be taken as soon as necrotic symptoms appear, 4 to 7 days after suspected drift, and frozen immediately.
