Abstract: | Summary. 4-Aniino-3,5,6-trichloropicolinic acid was incubated at 70° F in thirteen different soils for periods of up to 2 years at a concentration range of 0–023–24 ppm. Losses varied from complete to non-measurable by the bioassay technique employed. The percentage decomposed was generally greater for lower initial concentrations. The results were mathematically analysed in terms of zero-order, half-order, first-order and Michaclis-Menten kinetics. Half-order and Mirhaelis-Menten were found to be the kinetic expressions that most satisfactorily described the detoxification of the herbicide in soil.
