A rapid method for the determination of sulfentrazone in soils is described
. The method consists of extraction of soil samples with methanol, filtrati
on, liquid chromatographic separation of methanol-soluble components throug
h a C-18 column, and ultraviolet detection at 220 nm. Recoveries from forti
fied surface soils were >85% for sulfentrazone. Average relative standard d
eviations over the soils examined was 7.7%. A conservative lower limit of q
uantitation for sulfentrazone was 40 ng/g soil.
