Abstract

A significant amount of amiben (3–amino–2,4–dichlorobenzoic acid) was leached from the 0 to 1-inch soil depth with 1 and 2 inches of applied water. Weed control could be obtained from amiben at 1 lb/A if rain came within 3 or 4 days after application. One-half inch of water applied immediately after application markedly increased the toxicity of 1 lb of amiben per acre to Brassica juncea (L.) Coss and Panicum miliaceum L.; a similar response from 2 lb/A was obtained with 1/4 inch of water. As the amiben rate was increased, less water was required for optimum weed control. Increased water and/or amiben applications were required with Brassica campestris L., which is somewhat resistant to amiben.
