Time Course Studies on 2,4-D Amine Residues in Slow-Moving Waters.

Abstract

The waterhyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) is a problem aquatic plant in the slow-moving, quiescent waters of the Gulf Coastal States. To institute control, programs utilizing the herbicide 2,4-D were initiated. These have proven to be the most practical and effective control measures available to date. This project was undertaken to provide data that would facilitate the registration of 2,4-D DMA by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as an aquatic herbicide for control of waterhyacinth in slow-moving water. The experiment was designed to provide data on 2,4-D residues within the application site. (Author)
