Abstract

The herbicide Atrazine is widely used in agriculture, especially in maize. Laboratory studies were carries oud on the behaviour of Atrazine in soil columns. The results of these studies were reported by Loch et al (ref. 1). The soil columns had a length of 110 cm and a diameter of 20 cm. Stainless steel cylinders were filled with two different dutch soil profiles, a “kamppodzol” and a Menkeerd”-soil. The organic matter content in the topsoil of the enkeerd-soil is more than 3 times higher than in the topsoil of the kamppodzol (fig. 1). Adsorption-isotherms were determined in the laboratory by batch shaking experiments (fig. 2).
