The residual nature of atrazine has
made soil testing for residue levels impor-
tant. This testing is especially important
because atrazine can carryover more than
one year, and many variables affect the
amount of carryover. Weather is one
variable that affects the amount of
breakdown of atrazine during the year.
Breakdown is slower if dry weather per-
sists, especially during the summer. A
high pH soil, i.e. over 7.5 also slows the
rate of breakdown.
90% Breakdown
Under normal conditions, 90% of the
atrazine applied hi a year will break down
before spring of the next year. If, for ex-
ample, we had applied one pound active
atrazine last spring, carryover into next
spring is 1/10 of a pound.
1988 Could Be Different
Because of the drought this summer,
atrazine breakdown may be slower than
normal. Under normal conditions most of
the atrazine breakdown takes place in the
first 2% months after application. Between
the fall and spring planting, breakdown
continues to occur but at a much slower
rate Mild and wet conditions • through
winter gives increased breakdown.
Because of the influence of weather, soil
testing is important. By soil testing in the
fall`, results are back early for planning
next year's crop program. If the results of
a test indicate it may be borderline for a
crop other than corn, this field should be
resampled early in the spring. Sampling in
the fall should be done following plowing, if
you plow. A minimum '/a lb. sample is re-
quired. Cost of analysis is $20 through the
Pesticide Residue Lab at the University of
Guelph. Be sure to take a good represen-
tative sample. A minimum of 15 soil cores
from a 40 acre field should be taken. For
help in interpreting the results, contact the
Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food
office in Clinton at 482-3428 or
1-800-265-5170.
