All he,,had to do is forward a description of the crop, soil samples for testing and, if possible, a hist- ory of atrazine use in the field • sampled, to the college at Ridgetown, Ontario. If the test indicates residue damage is likely, thefarmer can change his plans. However, interested farmers must act now for the results to be obtained in time. "Because we simulate field growing cond- itions in our greenhouse and plant the possibly susceptible crop in the soil sent by the farmer, the samples must be taken carefully and sent immed- iately, " says R.H. Brown, biol- ogy and horticulture specialist at the college. "It takes four to six weeks after the soil samples have dried out to det- ermine if the crop will develop normally in the soil samples or be damaged by atrazine residues." Threee soil samples of four to six quartes 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 atraz- ine residues. This sample is used as a check and sometimes has to be taken from a fence row or an adjacent field.

Excessively high applications, dry, cool growing seasons unsuitable for atrazine breakdown, and postemergence rather than preemergence appl- ication of atrazine also contr- ibute to the possibility of resid- ue 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 rent- ed land." Farmers who want to know the atrazine residue level of their soil, but are too far from Ridge - town to send soil samples, should contact their county or district Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food Office.
