Abstract

Monuron [3-(p-chlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea] and neburon [1-n-butyl-3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1-methylurea] were applied to a sandy loam soil which was planted to several crops in southern California. Monuron at 2, 4, and 8 lb/A and neburon at 2 lb/A were below phytotoxic levels by 12 months. Neburon at 4 lb/A persisted at phytotoxic levels for over 16 months, and at 8 lb/A for over 24 months.
