敌草胺在土壤中的吸附及其与持久性和生物有效性之间的关系

土壤吸附是农药在环境中归趋的关键支配因素,也是支配农药在环境中的持久性和生物有效性的重要因素之一。该文采用高效液相色谱法研究了除草剂敌草胺在不同性质土壤中的吸附、持久性和生物有效性以及吸附与土壤持久性、蚯蚓生物有效性之间的关系。结果表明,在供试浓度范围内,采用批量平衡技术测定的敌草胺土壤吸附等温线可用Freundlich模型表征（r>0.99）,土壤有机质含量（PPt50）在61.3-97.6 d之间;微生物对敌草胺在土壤中的持久性影响显著,微生物降解是敌草胺在土壤环境中降解的主要途径,灭菌处理后其在土壤中的半衰期延长了2.09~3.65倍。蚯蚓Eisenia foetida对敌草胺的吸收和生物积累也主要取决于土壤性质,特别是土壤的有机质含量水平（Pr=-0.885,Pr=-0.796,Pt50=94.210-3.535 Kf和BAF=0.264-0.014 Kf,表明吸附系数可用作模型参数来评价敌草胺在土壤中的持久性和生物有效性。     

Problems of herbicide assessment in peanuts in Jamaica

Delays of 40 or 60 days in weeding peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.) gave lower yields and fewer pods per plant but did not affect seed number per pod. Yield, pod number per plant, seeds per pod and mean weight per seed were all less in unweeded plots. In three herbicide trials crop yields were not closely correlated with crop vigour scores made several weeks before crop maturity, or with weediness scores. Correlations between yields and weed dry weights were better, but certain high-yielding herbicide treatments gave poor weed control and in some cases had low crop vigour scores. Most yield differences reflected differences in pod number per plant, with additional smaller compensating or additive effects on the other components. Certain herbicides apparently gave high mean seed weights without diminishing seed numbers per pod. Pre-emergence alachlor was the most promising herbicide, combined with preplant incorporated vernolate if nutgrass was serious. Napropamide and metobromuron merit further testing.     

Agronomic evaluation of precise mechanical hoeing and chemical weed control in sugar beet

Most herbicide applications to sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) are made to the whole crop area, but there is the opportunity to restrict applications to the crop row, decreasing the usage of herbicide by up to 70%. However, this would require greater use of mechanical weed control between rows. Experiments were performed in two seasons to evaluate the weed control performance of a novel, vision‐guided, inter‐row hoe in sugar beet crops grown on a peat fen soil. Hoe lateral placement was within ±30 mm. A precise hoeing and band spraying treatment was compared with overall herbicide use, and with treatments in which the herbicide applications were replaced by hand weeding to minimize competition between crop and weeds. Two hoe passes were made in each season, at crop growth stages of two and 10–12 true leaves in the first season and four and eight true leaves in the second season. Plant population density was not affected by treatment, indicating that none of the treatments caused crop plant loss. Use of the guided hoe controlled weeds better than overall spraying. Crop yields were not significantly different between treatments, indicating that weed control prevented competition with the crop in all treatments.     

Effect of soil placement on the activity of herbicides on Cyperus rotundus L. *

The effect of herbicide placemem in the soil on control of Cyperus rotundus L. was studied in the greenhouse with EPTC, alaehlor, norfiurazon, perlluidone, napropamide, trifluralin, and naptalam, EPTC was the mosl active herbicide, increasing the number of sprouts per tuber but inhibitmg bud development at an early stage of growth. The effect was greatest when EPTC was incorporated with the soil around the tubers. The effects of alaehlor were similar, but higher doses were required. Another active herbicide, norfiurazon, was taken up by the roots but its effect was to produce small, chlorotic leaves, Perfluidone was mosl effective when incorporated into the soil around the tubers or when placed in a layer 1 cm above them. Very little effect of napropamide trifluralin and naptalam was observed. In studies of growth and deveiopmenl with different planting depths, C. rotumtus produced basal bulbs, roots and most of its early reproductive parts in a layer of soil 1–3 cm from the surface, irrespective of the depth at which the tubers were planted. Shoots etncrged from 35 im deep but not from 50 cm.     

Persistence of imazamethabenz-methyl in soils after autumn and spring applications to wheat

Imazathabenz-methyl dissipated rapidly in sandy and sandy loam field soils in Nova Scotia. Canada, seeded to wheat ( Triticum aestivam L.).The time to 50% loss of herbicide residues in the 0-10 cm soil zone was about 3-4 weeks after October applications and about 2.5 weeks after June ones. After October applications, there was further loss of >60% of the remaining parent herbicide during the winter and early spring despite periods of prolonged snow cover and freezing, or near freezing, soil temperatures. After October applications, imazamethabenz-methyl residues in May-collected samples from the 10-20 and 20-30 cm soil zones ranged from 40% to 80% and from 15% to 40%, respectively of those extracted from the 0-10 cm zone over four sites. Precipitation in the month after October applications ranged from 105 to 180 mm. which suggests leaching may play an important role in dissipation at times of the year when precipitation greatly exceeds evapotranspiration. Levels of the phytoioxic free acid ranged from 15% to 35% of the parent herbicide in selected samples. These residues had no effect on spring wheat replacement crops. The effect of the herbicide on replacement crops may also be influenced by the soil pH. A laboratory study demonstrated that as soil pH increased from 4.1 to 6.5. degradation of imazamethabenz-methyl increased with a corresponding increase in free acid formation.     

Evidence for the enhanced biodegradation of napropamide in soil

In laboratory incubations, the time to 50% loss of napropamide was approximately 60; 21 and 8 days in soil treated for the first, second and third time respectively. In a survey of soils from commercial fields, there was evidence that enhanced biodegradation of the compound had been induced by normal field applications—in some soils by a single previous treatment. Confirmation of the observations of rapid rates of loss in pre-treated soil was obtained in experiments with three formulations of napropamide. The rate of degradation in enhanced soils was unaffected by treatment of the soils with the antifungal antibiotic cycloheximide, but was inhibited by the antibacterial antibiotic chloramphenicol. Mixed bacterial cultures able to degrade the herbicide were obtained from three rapid-degrading soils by enrichment culture. Isolates from two of them were able to degrade the herbicide in pure culture. These bacteria have, as yet, not been characterised.     

SELECTIVE ACTION OF DIPHENAMID AND NAPROPAMIDE IN PEPPER (GAPSICUM ANNUUM L.) AND WEEDS

Summary. A comparison was made between diphenamid and napropamide with regard to phytotoxicity to pepper and weeds under glasshouse and field conditions. Diphenamid was considerably less phytotoxic than napropamide in inhibiting root elongation and shoot growth of pepper seedlings. Plant growth was reduced when the roots were exposed to either one of the herbicides, but growth of the shoot through treated soil was not adversely affected. Since diphenamid was found to be more leachable into soil, it might become more available to the roots and damage the crop plants. Graminaceous weeds were very sensitive to both herbicides, whereas several dicotyledonous weeds were more susceptible to napropamide. Selectivity of both herbicides at a late pre-emergence application to direct-seeded pepper was found satisfactory in two field experiments on different soil types.

Modelling the economics of herbicide treatment in wheat and barley using data on prevented grain yield losses

Losses in grain yield prevented by controlling weeds were measured in 59 fields of (southern hemisphere) spring-sown wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) (cv, Otane) and 45 fields of spring-sown barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) (cv. Corniche) in five consecutive growing seasons from 1988/89 until 1992/93 in the Canterbury region of New Zealand. The losses were measured as the differences in yield between weeded and non-weeded plots located in randomly positioned pairs in the fields. In the first 2 years, the weeding was by push hoe in‘organically grown crops. For the last 3 years, the fields were under prophylactic herbicide regimens with nonweeded plots created by excluding commercial herbicide applications (made mostly in October for wheat and November for barley) with polyethylene sheets placed temporarily over the plots. For each season the distributions of yield losses were modelled using the normal distribution and probabilities of ‘breaking even’ on herbicide use derived by substituting cumulative probability density functions into a simple break-even model for herbicide use. The model assumed that herbicide application in the current crop has no flow-on economic effect for succeeding crops. The mean annual yield losses prevented by herbicide application were positively correlated with September and October rainfall for wheat and bailey respectively. As a consequence, the probabilities of breaking even on herbicide use increased with increasing spring rainfall. Using historical rainfall records, probabilities of breaking even were estimated for each of the 48 years from 1947 to 1994. Averaging over these years, the analysis revealed that at current grain prices prophylactic use of the commonly applied herbicides is likely to be uneconomic in 24% (95% confidence limits 6% and 50%) of fields of average-yielding Otane wheat and in 26% (95% confidence limits 1% and 91 %) of fields of average-yielding Corniche barley in Canterbury. It was concluded that there is potential for withholding herbicide treatments without jeopardizing profitability in these crops, particularly in seasons with low spring rainfall.     

Long-Term Biosanitation by Application of Coniothyrium minitans on Sclerotinia sclerotiorum-Infected Crops

ABSTRACT The effect of the fungal mycoparasite Coniothyrium minitans applied as a spray to crops infected with Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (causal agent of white mold) on contamination of soil with S. sclerotiorum sclerotia was studied in a 5-year field experiment. Sclerotial survival also was monitored during two subsequent years, when the field was returned to commercial agriculture. In a randomized block design, factorial combinations of four crops and three treatments were repeated 10 times. Potato (Solanum tuberosum), bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), carrot (Daucus carota), and chicory (Cichorium intybus), which are all susceptible to S. sclerotiorum, were grown in rotation. Plots were treated with C. minitans or Trichoderma spp. or were nontreated (control). Crops were rotated in each plot, but treatments were applied to the same plot every year. After 3 years during which it showed no effect on sclerotial survival, the Trichoderma spp. treatment was replaced by a single spray with C. minitans during the fourth and fifth years of the trial. The effect of treatments was monitored in subsequent seasons by counting apothecia as a measure of surviving S. sclerotiorum sclerotia and scoring disease incidence. Trichoderma spp. did not suppress S. sclerotiorum, but C. minitans infected at least 90% of S. sclerotiorum sclerotia on treated crops by the end of the each season. C. minitans lowered the number of apothecia compared with the other treatments during the second year after the bean crop. C. minitans reduced the number of apothecia by approximately 90% when compared with the control and Trichoderma spp. treatments and reduced disease incidence in the bean crop by 50% during the fifth year of the trial, resulting in a slightly higher yield. In 1993, but not 1994, a single spray with C. minitans was nearly as effective at reducing apothecia as three sprays (monitored in 1995). The final population size of sclerotia in soil at the end of the 7-year period was lower in all C. minitans plots than at the beginning of the trial, even in plots where two highly susceptible bean crops were grown during the period. The results indicate that the mycoparasite C. minitans has the potential to keep contamination of soil with sclerotia low in crop rotations with a high number of crops susceptible to S. sclerotiorum.     

Sulcotrione soil persistence and mobility in summer maize and winter wheat crops

Sulcotrione soil persistence in spring maize ( Zea mays L.) crops grown on a sandy loam soil was greater at pH 5·5 and 6·0 (soil half-life T _1/2≈58 days) than at pH 7·1 ( T _1/2 = 44 days). Sulcotrione was also applied as recommended on a summer maize crop at the five- to six-leaf growth stage, grown on a sandy loam soil. Sulcotrione soil half-life was 44 days, and the herbicide remained mainly in the 0- to 5-cm surface soil layer during the cropping period, in spite of the high water solubility and the heavy rains at the end of August; lower sulcotrione concentrations (10–18% of the total during the 2-month period after sulcotrione application) were detected in the 5- to 10-cm surface soil layer. The herbicide was applied pre-emergence to winter wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) at four sites that differed in their soil texture and composition: loamy sand, sandy loam, loam and clay loam. Persistence was greater in the soils containing more organic matter. In soils having similar organic matter contents, persistence was lower in the soil containing more sand relative to loam and clay. During the winter crops, sulcotrione moved down to the 10- to 15-cm soil layer, in spite of the fact that the rains were lower in winter than in summer. Sulcotrione most generally was not detected in the 15–20 cm soil layer of the maize and winter wheat crops.     

Enhanced degradation of some soil-applied herbicides

In a field experiment involving repeated herbicide application, persistence of simazine was not affected by up to three previous doses of the herbicide. With propyzamide, there was a trend to more rapid rates of degradation with increasing number of previous treatments. Persistence of linuron and alachlor was affected only slightly by prior applications. In a laboratory incubation with soil from the field that had received four doses of the appropriate herbicide over a 12–month period, there was again no effect from simazine pretreatments on rates of loss. However, propyzamide, linuron and alachlor all degraded more rapidly in the previously treated than in similar untreated soil samples. Propyzamide, linuron, alachlor and napropamide degradation rates were all enhanced by a single pretreatment of soil in laboratory incubations, whereas degradation rates of isoproturon, metazachlor, atrazine and simazine were the same in pretreated and control soil samples.     

Effect of Temperature on the Seasonal Incidence of Shootfly,Atherigona naqvii in Wheat at Jaipur,India

Abstract

Seasonal incidence of shootfly, Atherigona naqvii Steyskal was studied in wheat sown on nine dates at approximately fortnightly intervals from 1 October to end of January during the 1973–74 to 1976–77 seasons at Jaipur, India. During the season the pest remained more active from the second fortnight of October to mid-December and again during February and March. These fluctuations appear to have a positive correlation with maximum and minimum temperatures while relative humidity and rainfall did not have any influence. The winter low temperatures during mid-December to mid-February arrested the flies' activity. The crop sown between mid-November and mid-December was found to be almost free from shootfly and no control measures are needed. However, early and late sown crops remained prone to attack.     

Apera spica-venti population dynamics and impact on crop yield as affected by tillage, crop rotation, location and herbicide programmes

Apera spica‐venti is a winter annual grass and, increasingly, a severe weed problem in autumn‐sown crops. Non‐inversion tillage has become more common in Denmark in recent years, but may accentuate problems with A. spica‐venti. These problems may be avoided, if selected preventive and cultural weed management practices are adopted. To this end, we conducted a 4‐year field study investigating the effects of crop rotation, tillage method, location and limited herbicide input on A. spica‐venti population dynamics and crop yield. Additionally, detailed studies were performed on the fate of A. spica‐venti seeds when incorporated to different soil depths. The location with a lighter soil texture, cooler climate and higher rainfall favoured A. spica‐venti growth and consequently crop yield loss, especially in the crop sequence comprised only of autumn‐sown crops and with non‐inversion tine tillage. Incorporating A. spica‐venti seeds in the soil improved their survival, explaining the higher A. spica‐venti proliferation seen with tine tillage as opposed to direct drilling. The rotations including an even mixture of spring‐ and autumn‐sown crops did not lead to noteworthy changes in the A. spica‐venti population, irrespective of tillage method. Thus, in many regions, management of A. spica‐venti will require rotations that balance autumn‐ and spring‐sown crops.     

Induction and Transfer of Enhanced Biodegradation of the Herbicide Napropamide in Soils

In laboratory incubations, the times to 50% loss (DT₅₀) of a first application of napropamide were approximately 25, 45 and 75 days in soil incubated at 25, 15 and 5°C respectively. When treated for a second time, the DT₅₀ values were 4, 7 and 15 days at the same temperatures, irrespective of the temperature of the first incubation. This indicates that enhanced degradation of napropamide in soil can be both induced and expressed at low temperature. A mixed microbial culture able to degrade the herbicide to a single degradation product, identified by HPLC retention time as naphthoxypropionic acid, was obtained from a soil capable of rapid degradation. Addition of a sub-sample of this mixed culture to a previously untreated soil introduced rapid degrading ability. When small amounts of soil capable of rapid degradation were added to previously untreated soil, in both the laboratory and the field, the degradation rate of napropamide increased compared with that in unamended soils.     

Cultural Practices and their Effects on Heterodera avenae and Grain Yields of Wheat in Victoria, Australia1

The effects of various cultural practices on cereal cyst nematode (Heterodera avenae) populations, and the subsequent yield of wheat, have been studied over many seasons in Victoria, Australia. Crop rotations which include periods of fallow, or of non-host crop reduce population levels and improve yields. The inclusion of a legume has the additional advantage of improving soil nitrogen levels. Early sown crops (April/May) are less severely damaged, and produce better yields, than late sown crops (June/July). The resowing of damaged wheat crops with either wheat or barley is not effective in improving yields, although cyst numbers are lower on resown crops. Nitrogenous fertilisers are not generally applied to cereals, and although small increases in yield are sometimes obtained, they are rarely economic. Sulphate of ammonia applications increase cyst numbers, especially when applied at seeding, but urea has only a marginal effect on cyst numbers.     

Monitoring glyphosate residues in transgenic glyphosate-resistant soybean

The availability of Roundup Ready (RR) varieties of soybean has increased the use of glyphosate for weed control in Argentina. Glyphosate [(N-phosphonomethyl)glycine] is employed for the eradication of previous crop vegetation and for weed control during the soybean growing cycle. Its action is effective, and low environmental impact has been reported so far. No residues have been observed in soil or water, either of glyphosate or its metabolite, AMPA (aminomethylphosphonic acid). The objective of this work was to monitor glyphosate and AMPA residues in soybean plants and grains in field crops in Santa Fe Province, Argentina. Five sites were monitored in 1997, 1998 and 1999. Individual soybean plants were sampled from emergence to harvest, dried and ground. Analysis consisted in residue extraction with organic solvents and buffers, agitation, centrifugation, clean-up and HPLC with UV detection. In soybean leaves and stems, glyphosate residues ranged from 1.9 to 4.4 mg kg(-1) and from 0.1 to 1.8 mg kg(-1) in grains. Higher concentrations were detected when glyphosate was sprayed several times during the crop cycle, and when treatments approached the flowering stage. AMPA residues were also detected in leaves and in grains, indicating metabolism of the herbicide.     

Long-Term Maize,Sorghum, and Millet Monoculture Effects on an Argentina Typic Ustipsamment

Maize, sorghum, and millet monoculture effects on soil properties of a Typic Ustip samment in the semiarid pampa of Argentina were evaluated after 27 years in a plot experiment. A permanent Eragrostis curvula pasture was used as a reference. Millet was the most destructive crop to the soil because it decreased dry aggregate stability by 10%, soil organic matter (OM) by 30%, extractable K by 20%, available P by 44%, inorganic P by 11%, available Fe by 20%, available Zn more than 90%, available Cu by 30%, and available Mn by 26%, and it increased wet aggregate instability by 75%. Grain sorghum was less destructive to the soil than millet because it only decreased OM by 30% and extractable K by 24%. All studied crops decreased the cation exchange capacity of the soil between 20 and 30%, the pH values, and the concentration of soil extractable Mg2+by 38 to 63%. Soil extractable Ca2+ was decreased 30% by the Eragrostis pasture and 40% by maize. The negative effect of millet and grain sorghum on OM was attributed to a low coverage of the soil with plant residues left by these crops as well as the long exposition of the bare soil during temperate and wet periods. Decreases of soil nutrient contents were attributed to plant uptake in all cases, except the Zn concentrations, which were related to variations on soil pH and phosphate concentrations. It was concluded that maize, the most commonly cultivated crop in the region studied, did not affect physical and chemical soil properties to a large extent. Conversely, millet had the most negative effect on physical and chemical properties of the soil.

Improved chemical control of Conyza bonariensis in wheat limits problems in the following fallow

Conyza bonariensis is a major weed infesting zero‐tilled cropping systems in subtropical Australia, particularly in wheat and winter fallows. Uncontrolled C. bonariensis survives to become a problem weed in the following crops or fallows. As no herbicide has been registered for C. bonariensis in wheat, the effectiveness of 11 herbicides, currently registered for other broad‐leaved weeds in wheat, was evaluated in two pot and two field experiments. As previous research showed that the age of C. bonariensis, and to a lesser extent, the soil moisture at spraying affected herbicide efficacy, these factors also were investigated. The efficacy of the majority of herbicide treatments was reduced when large rosettes (5–15 cm diameter) were treated, compared with small rosettes (<5 cm diameter). However, for the majority of herbicide treatments, the soil moisture did not affect the herbicide efficacy in the pot experiments. In the field, a delay in herbicide treatment of 2 weeks reduced the herbicide efficacy consistently across herbicide treatments, which was related to weed age but not to soil moisture differences. Across all the experiments, four herbicides controlled C. bonariensis in wheat consistently (83–100%): 2,4‐D; aminopyralid + fluroxypyr; picloram + MCPA + metsulfuron; and picloram + high rates of 2,4‐D. Thus, this problem weed can be effectively and consistently controlled in wheat, particularly when small rosettes are treated, and therefore C. bonariensis will have a less adverse impact on the following fallow or crop.
