Tiafenacil is a new contact herbicide and its environmental behavior after field application remains poorly understood. In order to understand the dissipation of tiafenacil in the soil, the tiafenacil dissipation experiment was conducted at citrus orchard sites in five provinces of China (Gansu, Shandong, Sichuan, Jiangxi, and Hainan) in 2019 and 2020 (July–August) and the relevant determination methods were optimized. The results showed that the established method showed good linearity in the concentration range of 0.01–0.5 mg/kg. The average recoveries of tiafenacil from the five soils were 86.31–101.66%, with coefficients of variation of 0.28–10.79%. The dissipation of tiafenacil at the five experimental sites conformed to the first‐order kinetic equation, C t = C 0 exp − kt ( R 2 = 0.8130 – 0.9967). The half‐life of tiafenacil ranged from 0.26 to 4.19 days. The dissipation rate of tiafenacil was positively correlated with soil organic matter content and negatively correlated with soil pH, while monthly average temperature and total rainfall were less influential than soil properties. Therefore, the established method was simple and effective for tiafenacil residue analysis in citrus orchard soils. Tiafenacil could readily dissipate in soil and might be a safe alternative to glyphosate for weed control in citrus orchards.
