Extract

Because all agricultural chemicals applied to plants eventually reach the soil, and because many herbicides are applied directly to the soil for absorption through plant roots, it is desirable to test the persistence of these reagents in soils of varied types. Many such tests have already been conducted. Additional studies will be necessary as new phytotoxic chemicals are discovered. In this paper tests on some of the herbicides which have been studied during the past decade are described. Most of these herbicides are already in extensive use and much information has already been obtained relative to their reaction in soils. The data included here are submitted in an effort to round out the available information, particularly as related to long time effects of the herbicides in soils.
