Abstract
The persistence of isopropalin (2,6-dinitro- N,N -dipropylcumidine), nitralin [4-(methylsulfonyl)-2,6-dinitro- N,N -dipropylaniline] and trifluralin (a,a,a -trifluoro-2,6-dinitro- N,N -dipropyl- p -toluidine) applied at recommended (1X) and high (2X) rates was studies in the field on two soils. A sorghum [ Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench ‘RS 610’] root bioassay showed that the recommended rates of the herbicides caused 20% or less root inhibition at the end of the growing season in 1972. Both nitralin and trifluralin were more persistent in 1974 than in 1972 as shown by the root bioassay and growth of fall-sown rye (Secale cereale L.). The yield of sweet corn (Zea mays L. var. rugosa Bonaf. ‘Gold Cup’) was not significantly reduced when grown 1 yr after the initial application of the herbicides.
