The photochemistry of halogenated herbicides

  • Conference paper
Residue Reviews/Rückstandsberichte

Part of the book series: Residue Reviews/Rückstandsberichte ((RECT,volume 33))

Abstract

The scope of this review has been limited primarily to the photochemical loss of halogen from herbicides, although some discussion of competitive and subsequent photolysis of pathways of individual herbicides has been included. The common names [1] approved by the Weed Science Society of America (Weed Society of America 1967) have been used.
