Uniformly /sup 14/C ring-labeled atrazine was applied to a mineral soil under field conditions. Nine years after application of the herbicide soil samples were collected for analysis. The soil contained about 50% /sup 14/C residues in the bound (nonextractable) form. The bound /sup 14/C residues were distributed among the various soil humic fractions. In addition to the parent herbicide a considerable proportion of these residues was comprised of the hydroxy analogues of atrazine and their dealkylated products.
