Diquat and endothall: Their fates in the environment

Conference paper
Part of the Reviews of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology book series (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.
