Abstract
During the past 12 years more than a dozen articles have appeared dealing broadly with the topic of this review or with a major segment of the subject matter involved. The first comprehensive review of herbicide behavior in soil was provided by ennis (1954) who described the nature of the problem and implications of downward movement, persistence, and volatility in relationship to preemergence herbicide usage. At the Charter Meeting of the Weed Society of America, hill (1956) presented a thorough examination of soil faaors and herbicide action. In addition to the topics which ennis covered hill was able to lay special emphasis on photo-decomposition and specific interaaions with the clay and organic components of soil. Unfortunately, Hill’s presentation was published in abstract form only. The series initiated by ennis and hill has been continued by holly (1962) in a presentation at the Sixth British Weed Control Conference. holly organized his brief review under the topics of losses from soil surface, incorporation into soil, and adsorption and persistence in soil.
