Developing a DGT methodology to assess bioavailability of herbicide residues (USA121)
START
September 1, 2021
FINISH
August 31, 2024
Summary
A robust testing system for imidazolinone residues is to be developed using Diffusive Gradient in Thin-Films (DGT) technology. This tool will provide information on bioavailability of herbicide residues independent of soil type characteristics. The DGT tool will be validated in spiked soils, in a range of soil types and two water regimes. The DGT tool for glyphosate residue is also to be assessed.
