Rapid-degrading soils, identification using

The discovery that crop tolerance for a particular herbicide could be enhanced has led to the identification of many compounds that antidote the herbicidal effect of the thiolcarbamate herbicides. iV,A/ -Diallyl-dichloroacetamide was the first material commercialized with thiocarbamate herbicides for use in corn. This same concept also has application for other types of herbicides. Also it was discovered that repeated application of the same thiolcarbamate led to rapid microbial degradation of the material in the soil. Addition of extenders to the thiolcarbamate herbicide counteracted with degrading effect of the microorganisms in the treated soil.
