Abstract

Experiments involving the application of nitralin [4-(methylsulfonyl)-2,6-dinitro-N,N-dipropylaniline] at 0.56, 1.12, or 1.68 kg/ha on each of three successive plantings of pickling cucumbers (Cucumis sativus L. ‘Explorer’) were conducted during a 2-yr period. Residues of nitralin in soil increased with rate and number of applications. Nitralin residues accumulated to higher concentrations in a soil with 2.9% organic matter than in a soil with 0.7% organic matter. However, cucumber plants were injured less in the soil with the highest concentrations of herbicide. Oats (Avena sativa L. ‘Carolee’) planted following cucumbers were injured by nitralin residues resulting from the highest application rates. Bioassays and chemical analyses suggested that no appreciable soil residues of nitralin remained during the succeeding year.
