Abstract

The objective of this research was to evaluate contrasting textures soils (clay and loamy sand) in the leaching of diuron + hexazinone + sulfometuron-methyl (1386.9 + 391 + 33.35 g ha -1 ) commercial formulation, and also hexazinone (391 g ha -1 ), diuron (1386.9 g ha -1 ) and sulfometuron-methyl (33.35 g ha -1 ), in soil columns mounted in PVC pipes. One day after the herbicide application, half of the columns received 40 mm of simulated rainfall and Ipomoea triloba weed was sown. At 21 and 30 days after sowing, it was accomplished the evaluation about percentage of weed control. For the clay texture soil, diuron + hexazinone + sulfometuron-methyl and hexazinone herbicides reached approximately 10 to 13 cm deep with 0 and 40 mm, respectively. In loamy sand texture soil, herbicides leaching was evident up to 20 cm deep, with 40 mm of precipitation. For diuron and sulfometuron-methyl herbicides, leaching tended to approach to clay texture soil with 40 mm and to loamy sand texture soil in the two simulated precipitations. Hexazinone and D+H+SMM were the herbicides that presented the highest trend to leaching, facilitated in loamy sand texture soil. Diuron and sulfometuron-methyl herbicides’ leaching was lower, fact that exposes hexazinone influence in the leaching of the evaluated commercial formulation.
