- Abstract
This article focuses on biodegradation of herbicides from the soils of China. Herbicides are frequently detected in shallow groundwater of the U.S. and elsewhere, and the dominant chemicals include atrazine, cyanazine and dicamba. These agro-chemicals are also widely used in the developing countries including China. Information on degradability of these herbicides and possible presence of their degradation intermediates in the environments is crucial in assessing environmental impact of the chemical application and the long-term ecological impact from their residual concentrations.
