and birth defects. There are data that support the finding that isoxaben =
has potential to have cancer causing effects on animals.

Residual Soil Activity: Trifluralin is active in the soil. Germination of c=
rops may be impacted for up to 1½ years after soil treatment, especially =
in arid conditions. It is not usually absorbed from the soil by plants.
