The effect of adsorbents on the rate of degradation of herbicides incubated with soil

The rate of disappearance was followed of atrazine, chlorthiamid and linuron when incubated at 20°C with soil and soil containing added charcoal or clay. The presence of clay slightly increased (7.5–38 per cent) the persistence of all compounds, whereas charcoal although increasing the persistence o...

Description
Summary:The rate of disappearance was followed of atrazine, chlorthiamid and linuron when incubated at 20°C with soil and soil containing added charcoal or clay. The presence of clay slightly increased (7.5–38 per cent) the persistence of all compounds, whereas charcoal although increasing the persistence of atrazine and chlorthiamid several fold did not significantly affect that of linuron. Charcoal reduced decomposition rates less than it reduced herbicide concentration in the soil solution.
