Herbicides are used to get rid of unwanted plants like weeds, brush, unproductive trees, and other vegetation that may deprive crops and other useful plants of nutrients. Numerous immunological techniques for the analysis of triazines, such as atrazine, propazine, simazine, ametryn, and cyanazine, have been developed recently (Table 8.8).185,235-237 Owing to their environmental persistence and their... 

Location Not Previously Treated With EPTC. Studies conducted in 1978 and 1979 demonstrated that EPTC at both 4.5 and 6.7 kg ai/ha application rates provided effective wild proso millet control in sweet corn grown on soils not previously treated with that herbicide (Table I). Because of the prolonged period of millet germination and the short soil persistence of EPTC, millet control 95 days after treatment (DAT) was substantially less than 45 DAT. However, these late-season millet escapes did not cause sweet corn yield reductions. Applying EPTC with cyanazine slightly improved late-...
