Summary: The metabolism of the herbicide napropamide has been studied in the field in the soil of replacement crops (cereals, corn, sugar beet, potato and several vegetables). Napropamide was soil applied in the autumn and the soil left fallow during the winter. Crops were sown in April of the following year and simulated the replacement crops that are grown in the event of failure of the first autumn‐sown crop. Trials were made twice, i.e. during the 1987‐1988 and 1988‐1989 crop seasons. The soil metabolism of napropamide was also studied in a rose nursery. Napropamide was transformed by microbiological processes in the soil into the corresponding monoethylamide and acid. These compounds did not generally accumulate in the soil, and their individual concentrations did not exceed that of residual napropamide during the observed growing seasons. The kinetics, metabolic pathways and agricultural implications of the herbicide are briefly discussed.
