Abstract

Arsenic residues in soil were examined annually over a 5-yr period following annual applications of MSMA (monosodium methanearsonate) at 4.4, 9, 13, 18, 22, 36, 72, 144, and 288 kg/ha. Elemental arsenic did not increase in any plot receiving MSMA rates less than 36 kg/ha. Plots receiving 72, 144, and 288 kg/ha of MSMA for 5 yr showed significant increases in arsenic residues. The arsenic residues for the two heaviest treatments (144 and 288 kg/ha) increased significantly during the first 4 yr, but did not increase in the fifth year.
