The herbicide, 3-6-dichloro-o-anisic acid (dicamba), dissipated most rapidly
from water under non-sterile, lighted conditions. Pond sediment evidently
contained microbial populations capable of decomposing the herbicide.
Temperature was crucial in dicamba dissipation, especially in the
presence of sediment. Influence of sediment on dissipation rate of dicamba was
apparently augmented by light in some cases. Under summer conditions, dicamba at 4.4 kg/ha per surface area of ponds dissipated at
about 1.3 ppm/day. Dicamba dissipated as a logarithmic function of concentration
with time. Reaction of seedling crops to irrigation water containing dicamba
varied among species and cultivars. Relative tolerance from these studies was
ranked from most to least tolerant as follows: sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.)
Moench. ‘RS-626’ and ‘Pioneer 820’] > cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.
‘Blightmaster’ > ‘Paymaster’ > ‘Dunn’) > cucumbers (Cucumis sativa L.
