- Abstract
The article investigates the persistence of 14C-trifluralin residues in soil and their uptake by the melon plant in Turkey which found that the movement of the herbicide residues in soil changed with time. The study found that 82.3% of the applied radioactivity of the chemical was present in the soil after one month. It revealed that there were bound 14C-residues in soil and melon samples which were greater than extractable C-residues. It also indicated that most of the residues were seen in the root of the melon plant and that the root crops grown in soil treated with trifluralin contained herbicide residues on the surface. The study also discovered that the metabolites formed in the soil were approximately 3% of the initial herbicide applied.
