SENTINEL WEDNESDAY; FEBRUARY 26, 1975 4). THE 11.MCKHOVII SENTINEL, PAGE SEVEN Bruce Farm Report TESTS CAN PROVE ATRAZINE DAMAGE - Through a test available at Ridgetown College of Agricult- ural Technology, a farmer can now find out if atrazine residues will damage a crop he plans to grow this year. All he has to do is forward a description of the crop, soil samples for testing and, i if possible, a history of atrazine use in the field sampled, to the college 'of Ridgetown, Ontario. If -the--test indicates-residue, damage is likely, the farmer can change his plans. However, interested farmers must act now for the results to be obtained' in time. "Because we simulate field- growing conditions in our greenhouse and plant the possibly susceptible crop in the soil sent by the farmer t the samples must be taken carefully ' and sent immediately Says R. H. Brown, biology and horticul- ture specialist at the college, "It takes four to six weeks after the soil samples have dried out to determine if the crop will develop normally in the soil samples or be damaged by atrazine resi- dues.' Three soil samples of four to six 'quarts each should be sent. One should be taken from the top three inches of soil, another from the three to six inch level, and the third from a similar soil type without atrine residues. This sample is used as a check and sometimes has to be taken from a fence row or an adjacent field. 1 Residues are most likely to cause crop damage when atra- zine has been used repeatedly on corn ground. Excessively high applications, - dry, cool growing seasons unsuitable for atrazine breakdown, and post-emergence rather than pre-emergence ap- plication of atrazine also contrib- ute to the possibility of residue damage to susceptible crops. "Since,, most corn growers in southwestern Ontario are' now used ' to atrazine, residues are rarely a problem," says Mr. Brown. "But the Ridgetown test is useful for farmers unfamiliar with this herbicide or uncertain about previous atrazine applic- ation on newly acquired or rented land." 4-H NEWS .
