THEIR MANAGEMENT
RESIDUAL HERBICIDE
• Herbicide breakdown requires sufficient time
under adequate moisture and soil temperature to
support the growth of microbes that degrade
herbicide molecules.
• Some herbicides are broken down quickly
• Other herbicides take longer to decay, hence
persist into seasons following the year they were
applied.
• These can injure sensitive crops that are seeded
in following seasons.
Risk of residual herbicides
• Gives lower yield on the next season crop.
o Eg: spraying imidazolinone-family herbicides on
sunflowers gave lower oil content in next season
• It also shows phytotoxic effect on the crops of
next season
• Residue of last season herbicides incompatible
to present season crop may cause heavy
damage
