Investigation of Herbicide Decomposition Efficiency by Means of Detonative Combustion

The decomposition of seven herbicides (atrazine, linuron, lenacil, chloridazon, dinoseb acetate, prometryn, and diuron) was carried out by detonative combustion. investigated blasting material produced on the basis porous ammonium nitrate, which served as an oxidizer, while pesticides played role fuel. Detonative mixtures in blast-holes soil. efficiency process assessed using techniques gas chromatography, high-efficiency liquid additionally biological tests according to grading European Weed Research Council. results demonstrate efficient tested herbicides. In soil samples taken after detonation herbicide, no symptoms phytotoxic effects plants were found. This confirmed lack (or at most negligible amounts) residual samples. Only for chloradizine diuron large amounts biologically active substance
