Abstract

A field study was carried out to investigate persistence and degradation kinetics of trifluralin (48 EC) applied pre emergently in Black gram (Variety B-76) @ 1 Kg ai ha-1 (T1) and 2 Kg ai ha-1 (T2) for the control of broad leaf weeds during kharif 2005. The dissipation on 90 days was around 97% in T1 and T2. Kinetics studies revealed that dissipation of trifluralin residues followed first order kinetics. The half life values observed were 23.3 days in T1 and 26.2 days in T2. Irrespective of any dose no residues were detected in cropped soil as well as plant samples at harvest.
