Abstract

Movement of 2-chloro-N-isopropylacetanilide (propachlor) from a granule to the soil was classified as horizontal, below the granule, above the granule, and into an area within a 3-ppmw contour. The influence of depth of placement, moisture content, temperature, relative humidity, and exposure time on each of the movement classifications was determined. Horizontal movement increased as the temperature, moisture, and exposure time increased. Propachlor tends to move down into the soil under dry conditions and up when the soil is moist. The size of the soil area that contained 3 ppmw was greater for granules placed in the soil than for granules placed on the surface. The size of the area increased as the moisture increased.
