Diquat and endothall: Their fates in the environment

  • Conference paper
Residue Reviews

Part of the book series: Reviews of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology ((RECT,volume 62))

Abstract

In recent years, the increasing use of herbicides in the U.S. has been accentuated by the aquatic weed problem caused by eutrophication. Certain herbicides developed mainly for agriculture are being used successfully to control aquatic weed nuisances. Among the herbicides gaining wide acceptance for the control of terrestrial and aquatic vegetation are diquat and endothall.

This work was supported by the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences and the Water Resources Center, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Hatch Project No. 1915 and Office of Water Resources and Technology Grant No. 14-01-001-1567.
