Adsorption Kinetics • Greenville sandy clay loam. • Samples removed 1, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72h. • Adsorption quantified by LCS. • Desorption • Initial sorption time – 24h. • Replaced with herbicide free 0.01M CaCl2. • Desorbed for 24, 48, 72, 96h. • Future Research • Determine the relative leaching potential of flumioxazin. • Determine the duration of flumioxazin persistence in soil. • Determine transformation products of flumioxazin by soil microflora. • *The authors thank Valent USA for supplying 14C-flumioxazin.
