Summary The persistence of isoproturon in soil in pot experiments was the same whether or not the soil contained growing wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) plants, Panllel) work with radioactive isoproturon showed that the breakdown products were the same in the presence and absence of plants. Persistence in the field was reasonably well predicted by a simulation model using the results of laboratory incubation studies and field meteorological data.
