Fate of isoxaflutole and its diketonitrile metabolite in soils as influenced by edaphic factors and soil types

Isoxaflutole is a new pre-emergence herbicide which undergoes rapid conversion to a diketonitrile metabolite (DKN) in soil. In soil the half-life of isoxaflutole is very short, but the half-life of DKN is much longer. Sorption studies were conducted with five soils varying in physical and chemical p...
