What is the half-life based on? Spontaneous decomposition? Or does it depend on external factors such as exposure to sun light (certain wavelengths)? If it depends on such factors half-life is variable depending on those conditions.
- jakewins 8y agoIt seems this number is for soil decomposition from microbial action. It's stable to chemical and photo decomposition. It also seems I was wrong about half-life in plants; the half life given for some tree species is 9 days. Unsurprisingly, industry does not appear to have funded research on the half-life in corn, soy and other commonly sprayed products. http://npic.orst.edu/factsheets/archive/glyphotech.html http://npic.orst.edu/factsheets/archive/glyphotech.html
