Time effect on bentazone sorption and degradation in soil

Previous sorption/desorption batch experiments have indicated that bentazone is weakly sorbed by soils. In addition, field experiments have shown that 4% of the bentazone sprayed can be leached to drainage water. In order to complete bentazone characterisation, we have assessed the effect of time on its behaviour in contrasting soils. In laboratory studies, bentazone was added to three topsoils (sandy, loamy and clay soils). Bentazone degradation, sorption/desorption kinetics and isotherm measurements were carried out at different times. At 160 days after treatment, bentazone mineralisation amounts varied from 2.1% (sandy soil) to 14% (clay soil). The extractable amounts became lower (from 97% after treatment to 12% after 160 days for the clay soil) and a greater number of desorption series was needed to obtain these products. Nevertheless, at the end of the experiments, a small amount of bentazone was still extracted by water. At the same time, bound residues of bentazone reached 65% in clay soil. Statistical analysis indicated effects of both residence time and soil type on bentazone behaviour.     

三种拟除虫菊酯类农药在砂土和壤土中的淋溶行为

采用土柱淋溶法和气相色谱法研究了3种拟除虫菊酯类农药三氟氯氰菊酯、联苯菊酯和高效氯氰菊酯在热带地区主要土壤类型砂土和壤土中的淋溶特性。结果表明:3种拟除虫菊酯类农药在砂土和壤土中主要残留于第1段土壤 (0～5 cm) 中,且驻留量随土壤深度增大而减少。三氟氯氰菊酯、高效氯氰菊酯和联苯菊酯在砂土中的R_i值分别为52.86%、94.73%和83.19%,在壤土中的R_i值分别为54.70%、77.28%和55.33%,均大于50%。根据农药在土壤中的淋溶性等级划分标准,3种药剂均属于难淋溶农药,不易对地下水造成污染。本研究结果可为热带地区土壤和地下水中农药污染修复提供参考。     

Rate of bentazone transformation in four layers of a humic sandy soil profile with fluctuating water table

The rate of transformation of a pesticide as a function of the depth in the soil is needed as an input into computations on the risk of residues leaching to groundwater. The herbicide bentazone was incubated at 15 °C in soil materials derived from four layers at depths of up to 2.5 m in a humic sandy soil profile with a fluctuating water table (0.8 to 1.4 m), while simulating the redox conditions existing in the field. Gamma‐irradiation experiments indicated that bentazone is mainly transformed by microbial activity in the soil. The rate constant for transformation was highest in the humic sandy top layer; it decreased with depth in the sandy vadose subsoil. However, material from the top of the phreatic aquifer had a higher rate constant than that from the layers just above. The presence of fossil organic material in the fluviatile water‐saturated sediment probably stimulated microbial activity and bentazone transformation. The changes in the transformation rate constant with depth showed the same trend as those in some soil factors, viz organic carbon content, water‐extractable phosphorus and microbial density as measured by fluorescence counts. However, the (low) concentration of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in the top of the aquifer did not fit the trend. The rate constant for bentazone transformation in the layers was higher at lower initial contents of the herbicide. © 2001 Society of Chemical Industry

Long-term persistence of paraquat in a sandy loam soil

A long-term field experiment was established in 1967 to measure the persistence in soil of paraquat dichloride applied annually either as a single dose of 4–48 kg/ha or in four separate doses of 1·12 kg/ha. From 1969 the treatments were split so that the herbicide was applied (a) to the soil surface, (b) to living vegetation. From 1970 to 1972 inclusive, half of each plot receiving four applications per year was rotary cultivated shortly after each spraying to study whether incorporation influenced persistence. Analysis of soil samples taken to a depth of 36 cm in 1971 and 1973 showed that essentially all the applied paraquat was still present. Most of the paraquat was found in the upper 5-cm layer but significant amounts had reached the 25–36-cm layer. In a supplementary laboratory experiment soil taken from the plots and from two other fields was incubated with paraquat at concentrations equivalent to c 50, 100 and 150% of the ‘strong adsorption capacity’. The reduction in paraquat extracted by saturated NH₄Cl ranged from 10 to 35% over a period of 17 weeks showing that the microflora of these soils were capable of degrading paraquat slowly if at all. It is concluded that paraquat may be broken down only slowly if at all in the soil under Soil conditions. Persistance à long terme du paraquat dans un limon sableux. Une expérience au champ de longue durée a été mise en place en 1967 pour évaluer la persistance dans le sol du paraquat dichlorure appliqué chaque année, soit à la dose unique de 4,48 kg/ha, soit en 4 doses séparées de 1,12 kg/ha. Depuis 1969, les traitements ont été divisés, l'herbicide étant appliqué (a) soil sur le sol (b) soit sur la végétation. De 1970 à 1972 inclus. la moitié de chacune des parcelles recevant quatre applications par an, a été travailée au rotavator peu de temps aprés chaque traitement, pour étudier I'inlluence de l'incorporation sur la persistance. L'analyse d'échantillons de sol prélevés à une profondeur de 36 cm en 1971 et en 1973 a montré que pratiquement tout le paraquat appliquéétait encore présent. La plus grande partie du paraquat a tit trouvfée dans 5 couche des 5 premiers centimétres mais de quantités significatives avaient atteint le niveau 25–36 cm. Dans une expérience supplémentaire au laboratoire, le sol prélevé dans les parcelles traitées et dans deux autres champs a été mis à incuber avec du paraquat a des concentrations équivalents à 50, 100 et 150% de la ‘capacitéélevée d'ad-sorption’. La réduction du paraquat extrait par NH₄Cl saturé s'est étundue de 10 à 35% pour une période de 17 semaines, montrant que la microflore de ces sols était capable de dégrader lentement, sinon pas du tout, le paraquat. II en est conclu que le paraquat, si tani est qu'il puisse etre dégradé dans le sot, ne l'est seulement que lentement dans des conditions de plein champ. Langzeit-Persistenz von Paraquat in einem sandigen Lehmboden Um die Persistenz von Paraquat-Dichtorid im Boden zu erfassen, wurde 1967 ein Langzeit-Feidvcrsuch angelegt. Das Herbizid wurde jährlich, entweder in einer einmaligen Gabe von 4,48 kg/ha, oder in vier getrennten Gaben mit jeweils 1,12 kg/ha angewendet. Von 1969an wurden die Behandlungen geteilt, so dass (a) das Herbizid aufdie Bodenoberfläche und (b) auf die Vegetation apprziert wurde. Von 1970 bis ein-schliesslich 1972 wurden die Parzellen die viermal im Jahr behandelt wurden jeweils kurz nach dem Spritzen gefräst um die Wirkung der Einarbeitung auf die Herbizidpersistenz zu erfassen. Die Untersuchung von Bodenproben die 1971 und 1973 bis zu einer Tiefe von 36 cm gezogen wurden zeigten, dass praktisch die gesamte ausgebrachte Menge an Paraquat noch vorhanden war. Der grösste Teil hefand sich in den obersten 5 cm, aber beträchtliche Mengen drangen bis in die 25–36 cm Bodenschichi ein. In einem zusätzlichcn Labor-versuch wurde Boden vom Versuchsfeld und von zwei weiteren Standorten mit Paraquat versetzt, so dass die Konzentrationen etwa 50, 100 und 150% der 'strong adsorption capacity’ entsprachen. Wenn dann Paraquat mit gesältigtem NH₄CI extrahiert wurde, dann betrug die Abnahme nach 17 Woehen zwischen 10 und 35%, was darauf hinweist, dass die Mikroflora der Böden Paraquat nur langsam. wenn uberhaupt abzubauen vermochte. Die Ergebnisse lassen den Schluss zu, dass Paraquat unter Freilandhedingungen im Boden nur langsam oder gar nicht abgebaut wird.     

适用不同粒径含盐砂壤土水分扩散率的通用模式

针对土壤盐分较重的砂壤土确定土壤水分扩散率D（θ）的问题,采用室内非稳定流水平土柱法对新疆石河子121团灌区膜下滴灌棉田不同粒径砂壤土水分扩散率及土壤盐分运移进行了研究。结果表明：粒径为1.0~2.0 mm的砂壤土水分扩散率最大,而且变化比较迅速,其次是0.5~1.0 mm的砂壤土,最小的是<0.5 mm的砂壤土,随着土壤粒径的减小,土壤水分扩散率逐渐降低;随着土壤含盐率的增大土壤水分扩散率减少。得出以土壤体积含水率为变量而且还考虑土壤含盐率的综合通用模式,该通用模式较为符合实际情况,并能够较好地反映同一容重、相同水平距离情况下粒径不同时含盐砂壤土的土壤水分扩散率的变化。     

Persistence and leaching of beta-cyfluthrin in alluvial soil of India

Persistence as affected by rate of application and moisture regimes and leaching of beta-cyfluthrin was studied in alluvial soil under laboratory conditions. The effects of rate of application and moisture regimes on persistence were studied by incubating fortified soil at 0.1, 1.0 and 10.0 mg kg(-1) under air-dry, field capacity and submerged moisture regimes. The initial deposits of 0.09, 1.11 and 10.1 mg kg(-1) dissipated with time and 78.4-100% loss was recorded at 90 days. The half-life values varied from 7.8 to 41.8 days. The rate of dissipation decreased as the rate of application increased under field capacity and submerged conditions. However, under air-dry conditions, the effect was less pronounced, and half-life values showed a reverse trend. Persistence of beta-cyfluthrin under different moisture regimes followed the trend: air-dry > field capacity > submerged. The trend could be attributed to the effect of moisture on number and type of microbes. Leaching was studied in a packed soil column under saturated flow conditions. beta-Cyfluthrin was found to be highly immobile in alluvial soil. No residues were detected in any leachate fraction under the experimental conditions. In column soil, residues were detected at 0-10 cm depth and the major amount (>99%) was recovered from 0-5 cm depth. Although beta-cyfluthrin showed moderate persistence in alluvial soil, the possibility of its leaching to ground water is negligible as a result of its immobility.     

Formation and persistence of metabolites of imazamethabenz-methyl in a sandy loam soil

The fate of imazamethabenz-methyl was studied in a sandy loam soil after application in spring to winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Imazamethabenz-methyl and its metabolite 2 (2-(4, 5-dihydro-4-methyl-4-(l-methylethyl)-5-oxo-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-4-methylbenzoic acid, in mixture with the 5-methylbenzoic acid isomer) were further transformed into the metabolites 3 (2-(4,5-dihydro-4-methyl-4-(l-methylethyl)-5-oxo-¹H-imidazol-2-yl)-l,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid, in mixture with the 1,5-benzenedicarboxylic acid isomer), and 4 (1,2,4-benzenetricarboxylic acid, in mixture with the 1,2,5-isomer). Meta-bolites 3 and 4 reached maximum concentration levels in the 0–13 cm layer corresponding to 14–17% and 9–14% of the imazamethabenz-methyl dose, respectively. These maxima were reached between 105 and 177 days after application. Imazamethabenz-methyl metabolism was slower in plots treated with organic fertilizers than in untreated plots. After 196 days the concentrations of all metabolites in the 0–13 cm layer had declined to, at most, 0.01 mg kg^?1. There was no carry-over of residues that could be phytotoxic to the next crop. Formation et persistance dés metabolites de l'imazaméthabenz-méthyl dans un sol sablolimoneux La métabolisation de l'imazaméthabenz-méthyl a étéétudiée dans un sol sablo-limoneux après application sur une culture de froment d'hiver (Triticum aestivum L.) L'imazaméthabenz-méthyl et son métabolite 2 (2-(4,5-dihydro-4-methyl-4-(l-methylethyl)-5-oxo-^?1H-imidazol-2-yl)-4-methylbenzoïque acide, en mélange avec 1'isomère 5-methylbenzoïque acide) sont trans-formés ultérieurement en métabolites 3 ((2-(4,5-dihydro-4-methyl-4- (l-methylethyl)-S- oxo -^?1H-imidazol-2-yl)-l,4-benzenedicarboxylique acide, en mélange avec l'isomère 1,5-benzenedicar-boxylique acide) et 4 (1,2,4-benzenetricarboxy-lique acide, en mélange avec le 1,2,5- isomère). Les concentrations dans la couche de sol de 0–13 cm de profondeur des métabolites 3 et 4 at-teignent des maximums qui correspondent re-spectivement à 1,4–17% et 9–14% de la dose initiate en imazamethabenz-methyl. Ces concentrations maximales sont atteintes entre les 105 et 177 jours qui suivent 1'application. La métabolisation de rimazaméthabenz-méthyl est plus lente dans les parcelles trailées par des fetilisants organiques, que dans les parcelles non traitées par ces fertilisants. Après 196 jours, les concentrations de tous les métabolites dans la couche de sol de 0–13 cm ont diminué jusqu' à 0.01 mg kg^?1 ou moins. Dans ces conditions, en fin de culture il n'est pas resté dans le sol de résidus qui auraient pu être phytotoxiques à la culture suivante. Bildung und Persistenz von Metaboliten des Imazamethabenz-methyl in einen sandigen Lehmboden Nach der Applikation von Imazamethabenz-methyl in Winterweizen (Triticum aestivum L.) wurde sein Abbau untersucht. Das Herbizid und seine Metaboliten 2, die isomeren 2-(4, 5-Dihydro-4-methyl-4 (1-methylethyl)-5-oxo-¹ Himidazol-2-yl)-und -5-methylbenzoesäure, wurden weiter zu den Metaboliten 3, die isomeren-1,4-und-l,5-benzendicaboxylsäure, und 4, die isomeren 1,2,4- und 1,2,5-benzentricarboxylsäure, transformiert. Die Metaboliten 3 und 4 hatten ihre höchste Konzentration in 0 bis 13 cm Bodentiefe und entsprachen 14 bis 17 % bzw. 9 bis 14 % der Imazamethabenzmethyl-Dosis. Diese Maxima wurden zwischen 105 und 177 d nach der Applikation erreicht. In organisch gedüngten Parzellen war der Abbau langsamer als in ungedüngten. Nach 196 d war die Konzentration aller Metaboliten in 0 bis 13 cm Bodentiefe auf höchstens 0,01 mg kg¹ zurückgegangen, so daß für die Folgekultur keine phytotoxischen Rückstände mehr vorlagen.     

Rate of transformation of atrazine and bentazone in water-saturated sandy subsoils

When pesticides leach through the soil to the upper groundwater zone, it is important to know whether further transformation occurs before the pumping wells for drinking water are reached. Atrazine and bentazone were incubated (at 10°C) in five water-saturated sandy subsoils (collected at depths between 1·5 and 3·5 m), simulating the conditions in the field. In three subsoils with comparatively low pH and intermediate to high redox potential, atrazine was transformed gradually, to leave 1·9%, 6·2% and 17·5% of the dose after about five years. In one of these subsoils, hydroxy-atrazine was detected; the amount corresponded to half of the dose of atrazine. In one anaerobic subsoil with high pH, the transformation of atrazine was comparatively fast (half-life about 0·15 year). Another anaerobic subsoil, with similar pH and a somewhat higher redox potential, however, showed hardly any transformation. Sterilization of the first anaerobic subsoil had no effect on the rate of transformation. In the course of about five years, bentazone in the first three subsoils was transformed gradually to leave <0·25%, 11% and 25% of the dose. Bentazone transformation in the two subsoils with high pH and low redox potential was very slow, but the presence of oxygen in one of these subsoils speeded up the transformation. © 1998 SCI     

生物炭用量对模拟土柱氮素淋失和田间土壤水分参数的影响

利用土柱模拟试验和田间试验,把由果树废枝干制备的生物炭以0,20,40,60 t·hm^-2和80 t·hm^-2的用量施入土壤,以探明不同用量的生物炭对土壤硝铵态氮素淋失和土壤水分的影响。结果表明,施用生物炭可降低土壤NH₄⁺-N和NO₃^--N累积淋溶量,其中用量为80 t·hm^-2处理较对照分别降低了41%和18.6%（P＜0.05）;NO₃^--N淋溶主要集中在前三次,其淋溶量占总量的97.3%～98.8%,生物炭能增加NO₃^--N在土壤中的滞留时间,延缓淋失;在整个淋洗过程中,氮素主要以NO₃^--N的形式淋失,其累积淋溶量占NO₃^--N、NH₄⁺-N淋溶总量的97.3%～98.14%;施用生物炭种植春玉米后,土壤含水率和总孔隙度增加不显著。     

Application of the pesticide transport assessment model to a field study in a humic sandy soil in Vredepeel,The Netherlands

The Pesticide Transport Assessment model (PESTRAS) is a process-oriented model to simulate the fate and movement of water and pesticides in a cropped field soil. The model was evaluated using field data for bromide, ethoprophos and bentazone, collected from a field experiment in a humic sandy soil near Vredepeel, the Netherlands. Model predictions were generally within the 95% confidence intervals of the observations when site-specific model inputs were used. If generic parameter values were used, the model predictions sometimes deviated strongly from the observed data. This was especially true for pesticide degradation properties. The bromide simulations showed that preferential flow was not an important process for this field soil. A significant fraction of the applied ethoprophos disappeared by surface volatilization. The downward movement of this pesticide was slightly overestimated, due to not considering sorption kinetics. The depth-dependence of pesticide transformation was atypical: an important fraction of the applied bentazone was transformed under micro-aerobic to anaerobic conditions in the subsoil. © 1998 SCI

Application of bispyribac‐sodium provides effective weed control in direct‐planted rice on a sandy loam soil

An increasing water crisis, as well as the unavailability and high cost of labor, in Pakistan has forced rice‐growers to plant rice directly into the field. However, severe weed infestation causes disastrous effects on the productivity of this rice system. In this study, three herbicides (pendimethalin, penoxsulam and bispyribac‐sodium) were evaluated for weed control in direct‐planted rice on a sandy loam soil. Weedy check and weed‐free plots were established for comparison. Weed infestation decreased the rice yield by 75.2%. However, the application of herbicides suppressed the weed infestation, with a simultaneous increase in the rice yield. The postemergence application of bispyribac‐sodium was the most effective herbicide in reducing the total weed density and dry weight over the weedy check, followed by penoxsulam and pendimethalin, respectively. Bispyribac‐sodium increased the number of productive tillers, 1000‐grain weight, number of grains per panicle and grain yield over the control, as well as improved the water productivity and economic returns of direct‐planted rice. The weeds' proliferation increased the number of unproductive tillers and decreased the plant height. In conclusion, the postemergence application of bispyribac‐sodium can be used effectively to control weeds, increase water productivity and improve the economic returns and yield of direct‐planted rice on a sandy loam soil in Pakistan.     

潮棕壤速效磷产量临界值和淋溶临界值的计算

确定合理磷肥用量对取得高产、提高经济收益和保护环境都有重要意义,而明确土壤速效磷产量临界值与淋溶临界值是界定施肥量适宜与否的必要前提。本文基于下辽河平原长期定位试验,使用直线-平台、双直线和米氏模型计算土壤速效磷产量临界值,通过土柱淋溶试验确定土壤速效磷淋溶临界值。结果表明：该地区玉米和大豆的速效磷产量临界值分别为12.0 mg·kg^-1和10.8 mg·kg^-1;三个模型中以米氏模型计算的值最高,以直线-平台模型计算的值最低;通过6次淋溶试验,计算的土壤速效磷淋溶临界值在74.6 mg·kg^-1到82.0 mg·kg^-1之间,均值为80.2 mg·kg^-1。在农业生产中应将土壤速效磷控制在12.0～80.2 mg·kg^-1之间,可据此指导施肥,达到保证作物生长所需养分,并减少施肥对环境影响的目标。     

Mobility and leaching of glyphosate: a review

There is currently concern that glyphosate, a strongly sorbing non-selective herbicide which is widely used in Europe, may be leached from the root zone into drainage water and groundwater. The purpose of this review is to present and discuss the state of knowledge with respect to the mobility and leaching of glyphosate from agricultural soils. Specific attention is given to the adsorption behaviour of glyphosate and the analysis of available studies on glyphosate transport. In addition, there are a number of experimental and numerical studies indicating that other strongly sorbing substances may be transported rapidly to the sub-surface. The experimental studies analysed in the paper encompass column-, lysimeter- and field-scale experiments on glyphosate transport. The experimental findings, combined with transport studies on other strongly sorbing pesticides in the literature, support the hypothesis that transport of glyphosate may be caused by an interaction of high rainfall events shortly after application on wet soils showing the presence of preferential flow paths. Concentrations of glyphosate in European groundwater have been reported occasionally but monitoring is still limited.
