Selectivity and mode of action of flamprop-isopropyl,isopropyl (±)-2-[N-(3-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)benzamido]propionate,in the control of Avena fatua in barley

The post-emergence herbicide isopropyl (±)-2-[N-(3-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)benzamido]propionate (flamprop-isopropyl) showed good activity against wild oat with selectivity in barley. The basis for activity and selectivity was similar to that previously established for benzoylprop-ethyl, and found to be dependent on its rate of degradation to the biologically active acid flamprop. Flamprop stunted the growth of the oat by inhibiting cell elongation and showed a relatively high rate of movement in the phloem, approximately five times that of benzoylprop. Selectivity of flamprop-isopropyl was dependent on its relative rate of hydrolysis and the subsequent detoxication of the acid to inactive conjugates. However, although the relative rate of de-esterification of flamprop-isopropyl was lower than that of benzoylprop-ethyl similar quantities of the parent ester gave comparable effects on oat. The inherent activity of flamprop is approximately twice that of benzoylprop. The effect of flamprop-isopropyl was best seen when the compound was applied during growth stages when the crop could offer the most effective competition to the wild oat. Throughout a range of growth stages the rate of hydrolysis of flamprop-isopropyl was higher in oat than in barley. The metabolism of the compound was not markedly affected when the plants were under stress.

Protoporphyrinogen IX-oxidizing activities involved in the mode of action of a new compound N-[4-chloro-2-fluoro-5-{3-(2-fluorophenyl)-5-methyl-4,5-dihydroisoxazol-5-yl-methoxy}-phenyl]-3,4,5,6-tetrahydrophthalimide

N-[4-Chloro-2-fluoro-5-{3-(2-fluorophenyl)-5-methyl-4,5-dihydroisoxazol-5-yl-methoxy}-phenyl]-3,4,5,6-tetrahydrophthalimide (EK-5385) is an experimental substituted bicyclic herbicide. Soil-applied EK-5385 showed good rice selectivity and potent herbicidal activity on barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli var. oryzicola) at rates of 3.9-250 g a.i./ha. Barnyardgrass was exhibited normal growth under dark condition, however, the growth of shoot and root was severely inhibited under light condition (14/10 h of light/dark, 50 μmol/m²/s of photosynthetically active radiation) when treated with EK-5385, oxadiazon, and oxadiargyl. IC₅₀ of EK-5385 and oxadiargyl to chlorophyll loss in cucumber cotyledons was approximately 0.3 and 0.7 μM, respectively. IC₅₀ of EK-5385 and oxadiargyl to carotenoids loss in cucumber cotyledons was about 0.26 and 0.1 μM, respectively. IC₅₀ concentration of EK-5385 and oxadiargyl on Protox activity was approximately 5.5 and 8 nM, respectively. Cellular leakage occurred without lag period from cucumber leaf squares treated with 1 μM of EK-5385 and oxadiargyl under light exposure.     

Physiological effects of methyl 2-[4(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)phenoxy] propanoate on oat,wild oat,and wheat

Methyl 2-[4-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)phenoxy]propanoate (dichlofop-methyl) is a selective herbicide for wild oat (Avena fatua L.) control in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Dichlofop-methyl inhibited IAA-stimulated elongation of oat and wheat coleoptile segments by 51 and 13%, respectively, at 10 μM concentrations. Dichlofop-methyl alone had no auxin activity at concentrations of 0.1, 1.0, and 10 μM. The inhibitory effect of dichlofop-methyl was overcome partially by increasing the IAA concentration or by application of 3,6-dichloro-o-anisic acid (dicamba), a herbicide with weak auxin activity. The de-esterified free acid metabolite, 2-[4-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)phenoxy]-propionic acid (dichlofop), at 10 μM inhibited auxin-stimulated oat coleoptile elongation by 23%, but it did not affect wheat coleoptile elongation at the same concentration. Both dichlofop-methyl and dichlofop inhibited root growth in excised shoots and seedlings of wild oat but had no effect on wheat. Dichlofop was a more effective inhibitor of root growth than dichlofop-methyl. The results suggest that dichlofop-methyl functions as a strong auxin antagonist, while the metabolite, dichlofop, inhibits root growth and development by another mechanism. The herbicidal effect of dichlofop-methyl may be the net effect of two biologically active forms of the compound each with a different mode of action acting at different sites within a susceptible plant.     

Selectivity and mode of action of ethyl (±)-2-(N-benzoyl-3,4-dichloroamiino)propionate in the control of Arena fatua in cereals

The activity of foliar applications of ethyl (±)-2-(N-benzoyl-3,4-dichloroanilino)—propionate(benzoylprop-ethyl)to oat was dependent upon its degradation to the biologically active acid (benzoylprop). The acid, unlike benzoylprop-ethyl, showed some movement via the phloem from the foliage to the stem where it inhibited stem elongation through an effect on cell expansion. The resulting stunted wild plants oat were unable to compete successfully with the cereal crop. Selectivity of the herbicide was dependent on its relative rate of de-esterification, and the subsequent detoxication of the acid to inactive conjugates. De-esterification was fastest in oat and slowest in wheat. The rate of detoxication in wheat prevented the accumulation of the acid to phytotoxic levels but in oat, although the rate of detoxication was higher, it failed to prevent the occurrence of phytotoxic levels of benzoylprop. In barley de-esterification was slower than in oat, and detoxication again failed to prevent some accumulation of the acid.

Inhibition of ergosterol biosynthesis in Ustilago maydis by the fungicide 1-[2-(2, 4-dichlorophenyl)-4-ethyl-1, 3-dioxolan-2-ylmethyl]-1H-1, 2, 4-triazole

Inhibition of sporidial multiplication in cultures of Ustilago maydis by 1-[2-(2, 4-dichlorophenyl)-4-ethyl-1, 3-dioxolan-2-ylmethyl]-1H-1, 2, 4-triazole^a (CGA-64251), at concentrations of 0.1, 1.0 and 5.0 μg ml^?1, increased from about 15% during the first 4 h, to 58–70% during the subsequent 4 to 12-h period. Sporidia became swollen and highly branched in the presence of the fungicide. Total lipid content as a percentage of the dry weight was not affected after exposure of the sporidia to the fungicide at 0.1 or 5 μg ml^?1 for 4 h, but synthesis of ergosterol and other demethyl-sterols was inhibited by 87–92%. Large quantities of methyl-sterol precursors of ergosterol and of free fatty acids accumulated in the treated sporidia. Fungitoxicity of CGA-64251 is attributed to inhibition of ergosterol biosynthesis at the stage of sterol C-14 demethylation.

Different in-planta and ex-planta activities of 7-chloro-4-(2-[trifluoromethyl]phenoxy)quinoline against Pyricularia grisea due to volatilization

7-Chloro-4-[2-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]quinoline (L Y248908) strongly inhibits mycelial growth of Pyricularia grisea in ex-planta assays but, when applied to the foliage of rice seedlings, its protective and curative properties against P. grisea are poor. The principal cause for this difference was found to be volatilization of LY248908 from treated foliage. Variations in fungal sensitivity (due to strain or development stage) and compound loss due to translocation, sequestration, metabolism, or degradation were shown not to be significant.     

Hydrolytic activation/decomposition pathways of herbicidally active ethyl 5-[N-(5,7-dimethoxy-2H-1,2,4- thiadiazolo[2,3-a] pyrimidin-2-ylidene)sulfamoyl]-1,3- dimethylpyrazole-4-carboxylate

Potent herbicidal ethyl 5-[N-(5,7-dimethoxy2H-1,2,4-thiadiazolo-[2,3-a] pyrimidin-2-ylidene)sulfamoyl]-1,3-dimethylpyrazole-4-carboxylate (I) was hydrolyzed under weakly basic conditions to afford a sulfonylurea (VII) , a 2-pyrimidylcyanamide (IV) and a mercaptopyrazole (VI) . The formation of these products was explained by nucleophilic attack at the 1 and 2-positions of the 1,2,4-thiadiazolo[2,3-alpyrimidine ring. This is believed to mimic the process which occurs on application to the plant. I appears to be a pro-pesticide for the sulfonylurea, VII .     

Synthesis and Insecticidal Activity of Some New 3-[4(3H)-Quinazolinone-2-(yl)thiomethyl]-1,2,4- triazole-5-thiols

A series of 14 new 3-[4(3H)-quinazolinone-2-(yl)thiomethyl]-1,2,4-triazoles were prepared and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, [¹H] NMR and mass spectral data. Four of the compounds showed insecticidal activity equivalent to that of malathion against the adult stage of the blow fly (Chrysomyia albiceps). However, their activity against the larval stages of this insect species was considerably weaker.     

Effects of ametryn [2-(ethylamino)-4-(isopropylamino)-6-(methylthio)-s-triazine] on nitrate reductase activity and nitrite content of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

The objectives of this study were to show that: (a) a herbicide, such as ametryn, which interferes with the photosynthetic electron transport system, causes nitrite to accumulate in illuminated leaves and (b) that nitrite is toxic and contributes to the herbicidal damage and death of the plant. Tests were conducted on wheat seedlings grown on 5 mM nitrate, 5 mM ammonia, and zero nitrogen. Ametryn treatment decreased in vivo and in vitro nitrate reductase activity (NRA) within a 26-hr period. In vivo NRA decreased more rapidly than in vitro NRA. Compared with control tissue, only 3% in vivo NRA remained at the end of 26 hr. The in vivo assay conducted in light confirmed the inhibition of photosynthetic electron flow by ametryn within the leaf tissue. Nitrate-grown, ametryn-treated plants accumulated nitrite and, after 10 days were the only plants that were completely desiccated and dead. Ammonia- and zero-nitrogen, ametryn-treated plants did not accumulate nitrite, were only partially chlorotic after the 10-day period, and were still living. Low levels of NO_(X) (NO₂ and/or NO) emissions were demonstrated by nitrate-grown ametryn-treated plants.     

Degradation of the pyrethroid cypermethrin NRDC 149 (±)-α-cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl (±)-cis,trans-3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate and the respective cis-(NRDC 160) and trans- (NRDC 159) isomers in soils

The degradation of the pyrethroid insecticide cypermethrin and the geometric isomers NRDC 160 (cis-) and NRDC 159 (trans-) in three soils has been studied under laboratory conditions. Samples of the insecticides labelled separately with ¹⁴C in the cyclopropyl and benzyl rings were used. The rate of degradation was most rapid on sandy clay and sandy loam soils, 50% of the NRDC 160 and NRDC 159 applied to both soils being decomposed in 4 weeks and 2 weeks respectively. The major degradative route in all soils was hydrolysis of the ester linkage leading to the formation of 3-phenoxybenzoic acid and 3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid; soil treated with the cis-isomer (NRDC 160) was found to contain both cis- and trans-isomer forms of the cyclopropanecarboxylic acid. Further degradation of these carboxylic acids was evident since ¹⁴CO₂ was released from cyclopropyl- and benzyllabelled cypermethrin in amounts equivalent to 24 and 38% of the applied radioactivity over a 22 week period. A minor degradative route was ring-hydroxylation of the insecticide to give an α-cyano-3-(4-hydroxyphenoxy)benzyl ester followed by hydrolysis of the ester bond. Under waterlogged conditions the rate of hydrolysis of cypermethrin on sandy loam soil was slower than under aerobic conditions and 3-phenoxybenzoic acid accumulated in the anaerobic soil.     

Synthesis and plant growth regulating properties of derivatives of alkyl 3-benzoyl-3-(3-chloro-4-substituted phenyl)-2-methylcarbazates

Alkyl 3-benzoyl-3-(3-chloro-4-substituted-phenyl)-2-methylcarbazates (isoelectronic analogues of wild oat herbicides) have plant growth regulating properties for various weeds and crops. Some derivatives of carbazates, bearing halogen in the 4-position of the phenyl group, have been shown to have the highest activity of the prepared compounds.     

The elimination of (N-[[(4-chlorophenyl)amino]carbonyl]-2,6-difluorobenzamide) by the boll weevil

Boll weevils, Anthonomus grandis Boheman, were either dipped in or injected with a solution of [¹⁴C]diflubenzuron (N-[[(4-chlorophenyl)amino]carbonyl]-2,6-difluorobenzamide) or fed on cotton squares that had been treated with the chemical to determine its turnover time and metabolic fate. No significant differences were observed between male and female weevils in their ability to eliminate [¹⁴C]diflubenzuron. Only minor differences were observed when immersion and injection treatments were compared. When weevils were treated with 66.3 ng of [¹⁴C]deflubenzuron per weevil by injection, the insects contained 13 to 15% of the radiolabel after 6 days and 4 to 6% after 13 days. The remainder of the radiolabel was in the frass. When weevils fed for 66 hr on cotton squares that had been treated with a wettable [¹⁴C]diflubenzuron preparation (Dimilin W-25), the insects averaged 120 ng of diflubenzuron per weevil. Forty-four hours after removing insects from the treated squares, 50% of the radiolabel had been excreted. In all cases, the radiolabel found in the frass or in the weevil was unchanged diflubenzuron. There were no data to indicate that the boll weevil could metabolize appreciable amounts of diflubenzuron.

Degradation of the insecticide SD 8280, 2-chloro-1-(2, 4-dichlorophenyl)vinyl dimethyl phosphate,in soils

The degradation of the insecticide SD 8280 [2-chloro-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)vinyl dimethyl phosphate] in soil has been examined under laboratory conditions using two soils from rice-growing areas in Japan and one UK soil. In all soils SD 8280 underwent degradation to 1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)ethanol, 2,4-dichlorobenzoic acid, 2-chloro-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)vinyl methyl hydrogen phosphate and 2′,4′-dichloro-acetophenone. These degradation products were present in the soils as free (extractable) compounds and as bound forms and soil binding occurred most extensively with 2,4-dichlorobenzoic acid. Polar products were also formed and these appeared to be in part the result of complexing of degradation products with the soil organic matter. The effect on the degradation of the insecticide of varying the moisture content of one soil was also examined. In soil incubated at 11, 17, 30 and 62% moisture the recovery of SD 8280 after 60 days was 71.0, 12.3, 9.0 and 11.3%, respectively. Although the rate of degradation varied, the same degradation products were detected in all samples.
