Chromatographic procedures were developed for use in the laboratory studies of the breakdown of N-(p-bromophenyl)-N′-methoxy-N-methoxyurea (metobromuron) in soils. Both thin-layer and gas chromatographic procedures were developed to determine the known and/or suspected metabolic products occurring from the microbiological transformations in soil. Extraction of 3 soils, after 5 days of equilibration, yielded all the metabolites. Neither the gas chromatographic or thin-layer procedures were affected by soil extractives.
