Extract

A number of s–triazine derivatives have shown considerable promise for pre-emergence weed control. Activity and selectivity as influenced by structural differences between many derivatives have been discussed by Gysin. The phytotoxicity of some of these materials is greatly influenced by the characteristics of the soil to which the herbicides is applied. Although solubility may be important in the toxicities of the s-triazines, adsorption may be of equal or greater importance in the presence of high organic matter or high colloid content. In solution these factors may be eliminated so that a more accurate determination of phytotoxicity and physiological selectivity may be made. The most successful pre-emergence herbicides for shallow planted crops possess at least some physiological selectivity.
