Abstract

Rates of dissipation, control of troublesome aquatic weeds, and toxicity to fish by the disodium and dipotassium salts of 7-oxabicyclo(2,2,1)-heptane-2,3-dicarboxylic acid (endothall) in farm reservoirs and in growth pools were studied from 1964 to 1967. In 4 out of 14 reservoir applications, initial concentrations of 0.3 to 1.4 ppm dissipated to near the limit of detection in 8 to 20 days. In the other 10, the dissipation ranged from 23 to an increase of 160% in 12 days. The average dissipation was 71%. In growth pools, initial concentrations of 0.5 to 4.0 ppm of endothal dissipated to 0.26 to 2.5 ppm in 12 days.
