Photodecomposition of Substituted Phenylureas
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 June 2017
Abstract
Four concentrations of 3-(p-chlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea (monuron), 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea (diuron), 1-n-butyl-3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1-methylurea (neburon) and 3-phenyl-1,1-dimethylurea (fenuron), adsorbed on photometrically uniform filter paper, were irradiated with ultraviolet light 253.7 millimicrons) or sunlight. Marked changes in the absorption spectra after irradiation indicated photodecomposition of the four herbicides was different with the two light sources.
