Formation and transport of the sulfonic acid metabolites of alachlor and metolachlor in soil

Article Abstract:

A field study is conducted at the Kansas State University Kansas River Valley Experimental Field in which the chloroacetanilide herbicides alachlor and metolachlor are applied and measured for transport and degradation in an agricultural environment. Graphs show concentrations of alachlor, alachlor ESA, metolachlor, and metolachlor ESA at different soil levels during a period of up to 300 days.

Do roundup ready soybeans require more herbicide?

Article Abstract:

A study conducted by director of the Northwest Science and Environmental Policy Center Charles Benbrook claims that the overuse of herbicides on Roundup Ready soybean crops is leading to weed resistance and soybean disease. Supporters of the use of glyphosate activated Roundup claim that an increase in Roundup Ready soybean planting has caused the increased use of Roundup.
