Abstract

Surface applications of 4-amino-3,5,6-trichloropicolinic acid (picloram) were made at 5 rates on 3 soil types. The picloram-treated areas were sampled 3 times after herbicidal application to determine the extent and movement of herbicide residues. The region of highest picloram concentration in a heavy- and medium-textured soil, when sampled 9 and 15 months after application, was near the surface. On the light-textured soil, picloram moved more completely through the surface 2 ft of soil with greatest herbicide concentrations generally found at the deepest sampling depth. Applications of picloram were dissipated faster at low rather than at high rates on all 3 soil types. Concentrations of phytotoxic residues at the end of the study period were greatest in the heavy-textured soil with the highest organic content.
