Adsorption and Desorption Behavior of Chlorotriazine Herbicides in the Agricultural Soils
Author(s): Swaranjit Singh Cameotra and Anil Kumar SinghSwaranjit Singh Cameotra and Anil Kumar Singh
The chlorotriazine herbicides have been applied worldwide for controlling of broadleaf weeds. These herbicides are known carcinogen and thus, their occurrence in surface and ground water is a cause of concern. In the present study, adsorption–desorption behavior of chlorotriazine herbicides namely simazine and atrazine was investigated. For the study, two different types of agricultural soil A (loam, 13.7% organic matter content) and soil B (clay-loam, 4.8% organic matter content) was collected from Punjab, India. The adsorption–desorption study was carried out by batch equilibration procedure. The data fitted well into the Freundlich equation. The adsorption Kf values indicated that the simazine has more soil adsorption ability than atrazine. The extent of herbicides adsorbed to the soil was more under low pH conditions and decreased with the increase in pH value. Increas.. View More»
