The decomposition of 2-chloro-4-ethylamino-6-isopropylamino-S-triazine (atrazine) and related s-triazine herbicides by soil microorganisms

Creator:

Duke, William B.

Abstract:

Atrazine, atratone and ametryne are asymmetric s-triazine herbicides used pre- and post-emergence on many crops. Under conditions unfavorable for microbial activity, these compounds may persist in the soil for long periods of time. This study was conducted to determine the influence of the soil microflora upon atrazine, atratone and ametryne...
