Residue analysis of potatoes treated withtrietazine for weed control. l C. E. Olney, R."S. Bell and T. W. Kerr2 The compoundtrietazine, 2-chlor0-4-diethylamino-6-ethylamino-s-triazine, is a new herbicide being tested for the control of annual grasses and other weeds in potato fields. The present investigation was undertaken to determine whether measurable amounts of this herbicide would accumulate in potato tubers following applications in the field. The tubers analyzed were obtained from an experiment on herbicidal weed control reported by Bell et al (1) elsewhere in this journal. The potatoes were planted in late April, 1961 using four randomly replicated plots per treatment. While both the Delus and Kennebec varieties were exposed to the treatments, residue data were obtained from the latter variety only. The treatments and the amounts of trietazine (active ingredient) applied as sprays and the occasions when tuber samples were taken for residue analysis are presented in table 1. The pre-emergence treatment was made on May16, the posthilling on June 27, and the vines-down on August 15. Harvest of the potatoes was September 27 and 28. On each of the 4 sampling dates, 4 pounds of potatoes were obtained at random from each of the 4 replicates. These were then halved lengthwise and the halves diced into half-inch cubes, from which a representative 200 gram sample was taken. After homogenizing in a blender, each sample was tumbled with chloroform and filtered through anhydrous sodium SUlfate. The extracts were stored at 25Of. for future analysis. The analytical method was supplied by the Geigy Chemical Company(2). It is based m the conversion of trietazine to hydroxytrietazine by acid hydrolysis Table 1.
