Fate of Diflubenzuron in Cotton, Soil, and Rotational Crops Don L. Bull* and G . Wayne Ivie 14C-labeleddiflubenzuron ( N -[ [ (4-chlorophenyl)amino]carbonyl] -2,6-difluorobenzamide) was applied to field-grown cotton either as a single dose (100 pg/leaf) for studies of absorption and metabolism or six and ten times (each treatment a t a rate equivalent to 70 g of AI in 9.35 L of crop oil and 93.5 L of water/ha) for studies of radioactive residues in different parts of cotton plants a t harvest and in soil and rotational crops. In cotton leaves treated with a single dose, there was little (
