Metolachlor [2-chloro-N-(2-methoxy-1-methylethyl)-2'-ethyl-6'- methyl acetanilide] dissipation under both field and laboratory conditions were studied during summer season in an Indian soil. Metolachlor was found to have moderate persistence with a half-life of 27 days in field. The herbicide got leached down to 15-30 cm soil layer and residues were found up to harvest day of the sunflower crop in both 0-15 cm and 15-30 cm soil layers. Metolachlor was found to be more persistent in laboratory studies conducted for 190 days. The rate of degradation was faster in soil under flooded partial anaerobic conditions as compared to aerobic soil with a half-life of 44.3 days. In aerobic soil, metolachlor was very stable with only 49% dissipation in 130 days. Residues remained in both the soils up to the end of the experimental period of 190 days.
