Abstract: Abstract Metamitron (Meta), 4-amino-3-methyl-6-phenyl-1,2,4-triazin-5-one, and fenhexamid (Fen), N-(2,3-dichloro-4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-methylcyclohexanecarboxamide, are active substances of herbicide and fungicide products, respectively, employed in agriculture. When these molecules are spread on crops, an important amount reaches the soil and diffuse… read more here.
