Abstract
Abstract Herbicide movement from broadcast granular applications via runoff waters into containment ponds was monitored over a two-year period. The nursery site was approximately 20 ha (50 A) and contained all runoff waters and recycled it for irrigation. Levels of pendimethalin, oryzalin and oxyfluorfen applied as either OH-2 or Rout herbicides were determined in containment pond water and sediment. Herbicides were extracted by a solid-phase column method and analyzed by HPLC with confirmation by GC-MS. Generally, low herbicide levels (highest level detected was 0.013 μg/ml in water and 12 μg/g in sediment) were detected compared to quantities applied [12 to 50 kg (26 to 110 lb) ai per year]. Results showed that herbicide levels did not accumulate in containment ponds following repeated applications and there was no correlation of herbicide levels detected with amount or timing of herbicide applications.
