Abstract

Detoxication of 3,6-dichloro-o-anisic acid (dicamba) in incubated soils was greater in heavier soil types and soils with higher moisture contents and higher temperatures. Dicamba phytotoxicity was less at 21 C than at 27 or 32 C. Over a pH range of 4.1 to 9.4, dicamba had a net negative charge. Dicamba showed considerable adsorption onto a kaolinite clay but little adsorption onto other clays and soils studied. Dicamba-1-C14 mixed with autoclaved Sharpsburg silty clay loam soil and incubated at 0, 33, 75, and 100% relative humidity and 35 C sustained very little volatilization loss over an 8-week period. However, nearly one-half of the radioactivity of dicamba-1-C14 on bare planchets at 0 and 100% relative humidity and 35 C was lost during an 11-week incubation period.
