Mississippi Delta cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) production in rotation with corn (Zea mays L.) was evaluated in field experiments from 2000 to 2005 at Stoneville, Mississippi. Plots maintained under minimum tillage were established in 2000 on a Dundee silt loam with treatments including continuous cotton or corn and alternate cotton-corn rotations. Mineralization and dissipation of 14C [ring]-labeled atrazine were evaluated in the laboratory on soils collected prior to herbicide application in…

Biodegradation of Atrazine in Fertile Nile Delta Clay Soil under an Intensive Multicrop Rotation Farming System
Biodegradation of atrazine in Nile Delta agricultural soils previously treated with atrazine under a maize cropping rotation system was investigated under controlled laboratory conditions. Two…
Effect of Soil pH and Previous Atrazine Use History on Atrazine Degradation in a Tennessee Field Soil
Abstract Field studies examined the interaction of soil pH with differing levels of atrazine exposure over 4 yr. Soil pH was 5.2 to 7.1 with atrazine exposures ranging from none (0) to eight…
Glufosinate and ammonium sulfate inhibit atrazine degradation in adapted soils
The co-application of glufosinate with nitrogen fertilizers may alter atrazine cometabolism, thereby extending the herbicide’s residual weed control in adapted soils. The objective of this study was…
Metabolism and persistence of atrazine in several field soils with different atrazine application histories.
TLDR
The results revealed that atrazine application history dramatically influences its degradation and mineralization, and the microbial atrazin-mineralizing capacity strongly depends on atrazines application history and appears to be conserved on long time scales after the last application.
Accelerated Dissipation of Two Herbicides after Repeated Application in Field Experiments with Organically-Amended Soil
Organic wastes applied as composted amendments may improve the quality of degraded soils and modify the fate of pesticides. This work has set out to study the dissipation kinetics of the herbicides…
Behavior of atrazine in limited irrigation cropping systems in colorado: prior use is important.
TLDR
Examination of atrazine binding to soil, dissipation, movement, and early season weed control in limited and full irrigation cropping systems found different rates of degradation were at least partly due to differences in microbial degradation in the soil.
Transfer of atrazine degradation capability to mineralize aged ¹⁴C-labeled atrazine residues in soils.
TLDR
The results show that an increased degradation of long-term aged ¹⁴C-labeled atrazine residues is possible by the transfer of atrazin- Adapted soil microflora from different soils and regions to non-adapted soil.
Accelerated degradation of metam-sodium in soil and consequences for root-disease management.
TLDR
The data on MITC dissipation in soil following repeated MS applications under controlled conditions indicate the chemical's potential loss of activity under regular agricultural practices and the need for a management strategy to prevent such a development.
Enhanced Atrazine Degradation: Evidence for Reduced Residual Weed Control and a Method for Identifying Adapted Soils and Predicting Herbicide Persistence
TLDR
Results indicate that enhanced atrazine degradation can decrease the herbicide's persistence and residual activity; however, coupling the diagnostic test with the persistence model could enable weed scientists to identify s-triazine-adapted soils, predict herbicide persistence under field conditions, and implement alternative weed control strategies in affected areas if warranted.
Soil depth and tillage effects on glyphosate degradation.
TLDR
The data indicate that glyphosate sorption and persistence are similar between the surface of NT and CT soils and that the adoption of NT will likely have minimal impact on the risk for nontarget effects of glyphosate on soil microflora or transport in surface runoff.

Microbial adaptation for accelerated atrazine mineralization/ degradation in Mississippi Delta soils
Abstract Most well-drained Mississippi Delta soils have been used for cotton production, but corn has recently become a desirable alternative crop, and subsequently, atrazine use has increased.…
Enhanced degradation of atrazine under field conditions correlates with a loss of weed control in the glasshouse.
TLDR
Glasshouse efficacy studies revealed a loss of residual weed control in CC and CCR soil compared with NAH soil, indicating that the persistence of atrazine may be reduced by at least 50% if the herbicide is applied more than once every 24 months.

Variation in Atrazine Mineralization Rates in Relation to Agricultural Management Practice

Rapid meneralization of the s-triazine ring of atrazine in soils in relation to soil management
Effect of cropping cycles and repeated herbicide applications on the degradation of diclofop-methyl, bentazone, diuron, isoproturon and pendimethalin in soil.
TLDR
It was showed that microbial biomass-carbon was significantly higher in planted soils than in bulk soil, especially with wheat and corn, after several cropping cycles, and stimulation of accelerated degradation was observed in diclofop-methyl.

TLDR
It is demonstrated that alternating between cotton and corn is agronomically feasible and a sustainable option for farmers in the lower Mississippi River alluvial flood plain region who are looking for simple cultural practices that provide economic and environmental benefits.
