The widespread use of herbicides in Florida citrus groves raises the possibility of residue accumulation following repeated applications. To determine residue levels of commonly used herbicides, soil samples were taken from large experimental plots in commercial groves in Polk and Hardee Counties. Bromacil and diuron had been applied in combination at both locations for 7-8 years. Analyses of samples showed low levels of both herbicides at various soil depths to 60 cm. Only a small amount of bromacil was detectable one year after applications, but diuron levels were higher. Continuous applications at recommended rates and frequencies have resulted in maximum bromacil and diuron levels of 3.9 percent and 13.1 percent, respectively, of their total application.
