Agricultural and soil management practices have been reported to affect alachlor sorption–desorption and degradation rates.

Furthermore, this study highlights the larger impact of biochar addition than tillage practices on altering immediate alachlor sorption capacities.

Atrazine and alachlor herbicides are widely and extensively used in agriculture for the control of a variety of weeds.

The results suggest that alachlor and atrazine present similar behavior in the environment, but alaclhor dissipates with greater rate.

The amendments also affected alachlor mineralization such that degradation was slower in both biochar- and raw feedstock-amended soils.
