Abstract

The influence of pH on the behavior of metribuzin and ethyl-metribuzin in soil and nutrient solution was studied. Toxicity of both herbicides to oats decreased as soil pH decreased from 8.4 to 4.2 in a sandy loam. Herbicide adsorption increased as soil pH decreased. In nutrient solution, pH did not change the phytotoxicity of either herbicide, indicating that pH primarily influences herbicide availability in soil and not plant uptake.
