Norflurazon Mobility, Dissipation, Activity, and Persistence in a Sandy Soil As Influenced by Formulation 

 -  J. Agric. Food Chem. , 55, p.3561-3567, 2007 .
<br/><br/> Five ethylcellulose (EC)microencapsulated formulations (MEFs)of norflurazon were prepared and applied in soil to study their mobility, dissipation, activity, and persistence. The results show that the release into water of norflurazon from EC microspheres was retarded when compared with that of commercial herbicide. The mobility of norflurazon from MEFs into soil columns has been greatly diminished in comparison with that of its current commercial formulation (CF). Norflurazon distribution at different depths in the soil was higher in the upper ring (up to 50
