Abstract

Characterization of herbicide dissipation under field conditions is an important component in determining the environmental impact of herbicides, and much information is available on this subject. However, this research area could be improved by standardizing and implementing several quality control procedures. The purpose of this review is to evaluate the recent literature on herbicide dissipation published in journals of the Weed Science Society of America. This review is not comprehensive with respect to all experimental parameters associated with field dissipation studies, but it is aimed at addressing specific areas of concern in the experimental approach to this research.
