Abstract

In laboratory studies, the herbicide 3'-chloro-2-methyl-p-valerotoluidide (solan) when applied to soil was transformed in part to 3,3'-dichloro-4,4'-dimethylazobenzene. The biochemically mediated transformation followed the pattern established previously for 3,4-dichloroaniline-based acylanilides, but the 3-chloro-4-methylaniline intermediate did not accumulate. Compared to 3,4-dichloroaniline-based acylanilides, solan yielded less azo residue and did not inhibit soil respiration, even if applied at 200 times the recommended field rate.
