Modeling of Bentazone Leaching in Soils with Low Organic Matter Content. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:ijerph19127187. [PMID: 35742436 PMCID: PMC9223228 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19127187] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2022] [Revised: 06/04/2022] [Accepted: 06/08/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to estimate bentazone’s potential to leach to groundwater in the Arenosols developed from sand, Luvisols developed from loamy sand or sandy loam, and Luvisols or Cambisols developed from loess, and to identify the major factors influencing bentazone’s fate in the soils. Potato and maize cultivations were simulated using the FOCUS PELMO 5.5.3 pesticide leaching model. The amount of bentazone reaching groundwater was highly sensitive to degradation parameters, water-holding capacity, evapotranspiration, organic carbon content, and pH. The highest bentazone concentrations in percolate were noted in Arenosols. The risk of bentazone concentration exceeding 0.1 μg/L was low only in Arenosols with high organic carbon content (3.0% for topsoil or higher). In Luvisols developed from loamy sand or sandy loam, the estimated bentazone concentrations in percolate were highly dependent on the climate. In Luvisols or Cambisols developed from loess, concentrations of >0.1 μg/L were the least likely due to the high water-holding capacity and high organic carbon content of these soils. The study also revealed that the FOCUS Hamburg scenario, representing the coarsest soils in the European Union with relatively low organic carbon content, does not reflect the leaching potential of Arenosols and Luvisols.

Abstract
The saflufenacil herbicide has been applied in the agricultural areas as an efficient alternative for the control of resistant weeds to glyphosate. However, the environmental risks from the use of saflufenacil, especially in tropical soil, is not yet clearly known. We evaluated if the organic matter addition into the soil influences the sorption of saflufenacil in samples of a sandy and clayey texture soils. The sugarbeet was used as a species indicating the presence of saflufenacil in the solution of the substrates. We estimated the required dose of saflufenacil responsible for causing 50% of sugarbeet intoxication (C50) and the sorption ratio (SR) of this herbicide. The addition of organic matter increased the C50 and SR of saflufenacil in both soils. Here it is demonstrated that the soil organic matter content increases saflufenacil sorption in tropical soils and, consequently influences the dose of this herbicide to be applied in pre-emergence of weeds.

Abstract
The current laboratory adsorption study aimed at determination of the values of adsorption distribution coefficient (Kd) of bentazone in the profiles of Arenosols, Luvisols, and Cambisols, which are the most common arable mineral soils in Poland. The study attempted to identify the soil components that bind bentazone and the principal adsorption mechanisms of this compound as well as create a model capable of predicting its adsorption in soils. The Kd values determined in batch experiments after 24 h of shaking were very low, and ranged from 0.05 to 0.30 mL/g for the Ap horizon and 0 to 0.07 mL/g for subsoils. The results indicated that the anionic form of bentazone was adsorbed on organic matter, while in acidic soils the neutral form of bentazone was adsorbed on organic matter and sand. The detailed analyses of mineralogical composition revealed that the principal mineral that was responsible for the adsorption of bentazone was quartz, which content was strongly positively correlated with the sand fraction. In soils with pH < 5 and an organic carbon content of < 0.35%, quartz exhibited much greater affinity for the neutral bentazone form than organic matter. Fourier transform infrared photoacoustic spectroscopy analyses supported by computational methods have shown the most probable mechanisms behind the adsorption of bentazone on quartz. The created model, assuming the adsorption of bentazone on organic matter and on sand and using the spectrophotometrically determined dissociation constant of bentazone, very well explained the Kd variance in the 81 examined soils, while correctly predicting the adsorption based on soil properties described in the published data.

Abstract
Phenoxyalkanoic acids like the 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic acid (MCPA) are the second highest used xenobiotic herbicides worldwide after glyphosate because of their apparently favorable environmental properties. Experimental batch equilibration data suggested a reduced Cu adsorption efficiency with the soil mineral goethite below pH 6 in presence of MCPA. This has been verified by advanced surface complexation adsorption modelling involving dissolved Cu-MCPA complexation constants. Positron emission tomography is a non-invasive molecular imaging method for time-resolved three-dimensional information commonly applied on non-retarded tracers in soil core scale experiments. Mineral surface reactive tracers like Cu-64 are too immobile for the relatively short observation times available with this advanced imaging technique. However, Cu-64 radiolabeled Cu-MCPA complex migration could be observed in as long as 10-cm artificial soil test columns where break-through occurred within a few days. For the first time, time-lapse movies of Cu migration in the opaque soil columns were recorded using this novel reactive transport process tomography approach.

Abstract
Models used to assess leaching risks generally use organic carbon partition coefficient (kOC ) values derived from batch experiments on topsoil samples to estimate pesticide sorption in subsoils of much smaller organic carbon contents. This can introduce significant errors in leaching risk calculations, because inorganic sorbents can play an important role for sorption in subsoil. The objectives of the present study were therefore to summarize the available literature data on pesticide sorption in subsoils and to test whether a simple alternative model could improve on the standard kOC approach used in risk assessment models for pesticide leaching. This model describes the sorption constant as a power law function of the organic carbon content. A database with the results of batch sorption experiments was collated from published studies that emphasized measurements in subsoils. This database contains 1029 data entries from 36 published studies with data for 29 active substances (11 nonionic compounds, 10 weak acids, 6 weak bases, one cation, and one zwitterion). The results show that whereas the constant kOC model proved to be an adequate model for 17 of the 63 individual datasets, the power law model gave acceptable fits (p < 0.05) for 60 of these cases. The exponent in the power law model varied over a wide range, from slightly negative to near unity. It also differed significantly (p = 0.015) for ionized and nonionized compounds, with median values of 0.25 and 0.55, respectively. It is concluded that the power law model could be used to parameterize subsoil sorption in regulatory leaching models, because it has widespread applicability and is simple enough for this purpose. Suitable ways of incorporating this approach in risk assessment procedures are discussed. Environ Toxicol Chem 2018;37:755-761. © 2017 SETAC.

Abstract
MCPA (4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic acid) is an acidic herbicide, widely used in paddy fields. The presence of dissolved organic matter (DOM) modifies the sorption-desorption of herbicides in soils. In this study, effects of DOM on sorption- desorption of MCPA were tested using three typical ferralsol soil types from China: rhodic ferralsol, haplic ferralsol and paddy soil. DOM preparations were extracted from the paddy soil (DOMP), from a compost mixture of cassava stems with chicken manure (DOMC), and from rice straw (DOMR). Sorption-desorption of MCPA in the tested soil types was shown to follow pseudo first-order kinetics, and the calculated isotherm data fitted well with a Freundlich equilibrium model in the range of the studied concentrations. MCPA was weakly sorbed by the soils, producing low Freundlich coefficient values (Kf) (0.854 to 4.237). The presence of DOM reduced the Kf whereby DOMC had the strongest and DOMR the weakest effect. Presence of DOM also promoted MCPA desorption from the soils, again with DOMC having the strongest effect and DOMR the weakest. DOM coating changed the soil particle surface, as demonstrated by electron microscopy, and DOM also directly interacted with MCPA, as shown by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The experimental data were interpreted to suggest a competing sorption of DOM to ferralsol and an increased solubility of MCPA in the presence of DOM. The results indicate that the environmental risk of MCPA leaching to groundwater and surface flow is increased by presence of DOM, for instance as a result of organic fertilizer use.

Abstract
Interaction with soil components is one of the key processes governing the fate of agrochemicals in the environment. In this work, we studied the adsorption / desorption and transport of mecoprop (methylchlorophenoxypropionic acid or MCPP) in four acid sandy-loam soils with different organic matter contents. Kinetics of adsorption and adsorption/desorption at equilibrium were studied in batch experiments, whereas transport was studied in laboratory columns. Adsorption and desorption were found to be linear or nearly-linear. The kinetics of mecoprop adsorption were relatively fast in all cases (less than 24h). Adsorption and desorption were adequately described by the linear and Freundlich models, with KF values that ranged from 0.7 to 8.8Ln µmol1-nkg-1 and KD values from 0.3 to 3.6Lkg-1. The results of the transport experiments showed that the retention of mecoprop by soil was very low (less than 6.2%). The retention of mecoprop by the soils in all experiments increased with organic matter content. Overall, it was observed that mecoprop was weakly adsorbed by the soils, what would result in a high risk of leaching of this compound in the environment.

Abstract
The primary aim of the present review on phenoxyalkanoic acid herbicides-2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy) acetic acid (2,4-D), 2-(4-chloro-2-methylphenoxy) acetic acid (MCPA), (2R)-2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy) propanoic acid (dichlorprop-P), (2R)-2-(4-chloro-2-methylphenoxy) propanoic acid (mecoprop-P), 4-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy) butanoic acid (2,4-DB), and 4-(4-chloro-2-methylphenoxy) butanoic acid (MCPB)-was to compare the extent of their adsorption in soils and degradation rates to assess their potential for groundwater contamination. The authors found that adsorption decreased in the sequence of 2,4-DB > 2,4-D > MCPA > dichlorprop-P > mecoprop-P. Herbicides are predominantly adsorbed as anions-on organic matter and through a water-bridging mechanism with adsorbed Fe cations-and their neutral forms are adsorbed mainly on organic matter. Adsorption of anions of 2,4-D, MCPA, dichlorprop-P, and mecoprop-P is inversely correlated with their lipophilicity values, and modeling of adsorption of the compounds based on this relationship is possible. The predominant dissipation mechanism of herbicides in soils is bacterial degradation. The contribution of other mechanisms, such as degradation by fungi, photodegradation, or volatilization from soils, is much smaller. The rate of bacterial degradation decreased in the following order: 2,4-D > MCPA > mecoprop-P > dichlorprop-P. It was found that 2,4-D and MCPA have the lowest potential for leaching into groundwater and that mecoprop-P and dichlorprop-P have slightly higher potential. Because of limited data on adsorption and degradation of 2,4-DB and MCPB, estimation of their leaching potential was not possible.

Abstract
The 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxy acid (MCPA) is an herbicide widely used in agriculture, which generates a great concern about contamination of surface water and serious consequences for human health and the environment. In this work, the adsorption of MCPA on an Argentine montmorillonite (MMT) and its organo-montmorillonite product (OMMT) with different dodecyl trimethyl ammonium loading was investigated. MCPA adsorption on OMMT increases at least 3 times, with respect to the amount determined for MMT. X-ray diffraction and zeta potential analyses indicated the inner (interlayer) and outer surface participate as adsorption sites. Changes in surface electric charge and also interlayer expansion suggest that dimethyl amine (MCPA counterion) was also surface-adsorbed. The larger aggregates of OMMT, without and with MCPA, obtained compared to those of MMT samples, generate an improvement in the coagulation efficiency. This property, particularly after MCPA retention, allows an easier separation of the solids from the solution and enables a simple technological process application.
