Abstract

The efficiency of a photo-oxidation procedure for the detoxification of water containing uracil herbicides was tested by bioassay. Treated herbicide solutions were checked for their inhibiting effect on germination and photosynthesis in sorghum. The treated solutions and the main photodegradation products of bromacil and terbacil did not inhibit significantly either germination or seedling development at concns. up to 200 and 10 mg/litre, respectively. Preliminary tests with industrial waste effluents containing added uracil compounds showed that these compounds were rendered non-phytotoxic by the photo-oxidation procedure. From summary
