Adsorption of metsulfuron-methyl on soils under oil palm plantation: a case study

The adsorption of metsulfuron-methyl herbicide in four types of soil series taken from an oil palm estate has been investigated using a batch technique with the herbicide detected using a reversed phase C18 HPLC technique. Selected soil physicochemical properties were also analysed. The adsorption b...

description The adsorption of metsulfuron-methyl herbicide in four types of soil series taken from an oil palm estate has been investigated using a batch technique with the herbicide detected using a reversed phase C18 HPLC technique.
