The transferability of acetochlor and butachlor in soil was studied by soil thin layer chromatography. Acetochlor and butachlor were dropped on the glass plate and spreaded soil on the glass plate was collected per 2 cm, then acetochlor and butachlor were analyzed quantitatively by HPlC. When river water was as the spread solution, Rf(relative flow) of acetochlor and butachlor in the Haidian loam were 0.116 and 0.031 respectively, Rf of acetochlor and butachlor in the Baiyangdian sandy loam were 0.147 and 0.032 respectively. When 30 mg.L-1 dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid sodium salt solution was as the spread solution, Rf of acetochlor and butachlor in the Haidian loam were 0.159 and 0.034 respectively. Acetochlor's transferability was weak and the gradation of its transferability was II grade, while butachlor's was more weak and the gradation was I grade. Anionic surfactant solution can promote pesticides to transfer. Cationic surfactant solution can impede pesticides to transfer.
