Abstract
A field trial experiment was conducted to investigate the degradation of metsulfuron-methyl at two application dosages, 15 g a.i/ha and 30 g a.i/ha, at an oil palm plantation. Soil samples were collected at ‒1, 0, 1, 3, 7, 14, and 21 days after treatment (DAT) at the following depths: 0-10, 10-20, 20-30, 30-40, and 40-50 cm. The results showed rapid degradation of metsulfuron-methyl in the soil, with calculated half-life (t½) values ranging from 6.3 and 7.9 days. The rates of degradation of metsulfuron-methyl followed first-order reaction kinetics (R2 = 0.91-0.92). At the spray dosage of 15 g a.i/ha, metsulfuron-methyl residue was detected at up to 20-30 cm soil depth, at 3.56% to 1.78% at 3 and 7 DAT, respectively. Doubling the dosage to 30 g a.i/ha increased the metsulfuron-methyl residue in up to 30-40 cm soil depth at 3, 7, and 14 DAT, with concentrations ranging from 1.90% to 1.74%. These findings suggest that metsulfuron-methyl has a low impact on the accumulation of the residues in the soil at application dosages of 15 g a.i/ha and 30 g a.i/ha, due to rapid degradation, and the half-life was found to be 6.3 to 7.9 days.

Wang M, Qian Y, Liu X, Wei P, Deng M, Wang L, Wu H, Zhu G. Multiple spectroscopic analyses reveal the fate and metabolism of sulfamide herbicide triafamone in agricultural environments. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2017; 230:107-115. [PMID: 28649038 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2017.06.046] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2017] [Revised: 05/20/2017] [Accepted: 06/08/2017] [Indexed: 05/22/2023]
Abstract
Triafamone, a sulfamide herbicide, has been extensively utilized for weed control in rice paddies in Asia. However, its fate and transformation in the environment have not been established. Through a rice paddy microcosm-based simulation trial combined with multiple spectroscopic analyses, we isolated and identified three novel metabolites of triafamone, including hydroxyl triafamone (HTA), hydroxyl triafamone glycoside (HTAG), and oxazolidinedione triafamone (OTA). When triafamone was applied to rice paddies at a concentration of 34.2 g active ingredient/ha, this was predominantly distributed in the paddy soil and water, and then rapidly dissipated in accordance with the first-order rate model, with half-lives of 4.3-11.0 days. As the main transformation pathway, triafamone was assimilated by the rice plants and was detoxified into HTAG, whereas the rest was reduced into HTA with subsequent formation of OTA. At the senescence stage, brown rice had incurred triafamone at a concentration of 0.0016 mg/kg, but the hazard quotient was <1, suggesting that long-term consumption of the triafamone-containing brown rice is relatively safe. The findings of the present study indicate that triafamone is actively metabolized in the agricultural environment, and elucidation of the link between environmental exposure to these triazine or oxazolidinedione moieties that contain metabolites and their potential impacts is warranted.

Abstract
This study focused on the residue detection of the herbicides triclopyr and glufosinate ammonium in the runoff losses from the Tasik Chini oil palm plantation area and the Tasik Chini Lake under natural rainfall conditions in the Malaysian tropical environment. Triclopyr and glufosinate ammonium are post-emergence herbicides. Both herbicides were foliar-sprayed on 0.5 ha of oil palm plantation plots, which were individualized by an uneven slope of 10-15%. Samples were collected at 1, 3, 7, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 days after treatment. The concentrations of both herbicides quickly diminished from those in the analyzed sample by the time of collection. The highest residue levels found in the field surface leachate were 0.031 (single dosage, triclopyr), 0.041 (single dosage, glufosinate ammonium), 0.017 (double dosage, triclopyr), and 0.037 μg/kg (double dosage, glufosinate ammonium). The chromatographic peaks were observed at "0" day treatment (2 h after herbicide application). From the applied active ingredients, the triclopyr and glufosinate losses were 0.025 and 0.055%, respectively. The experimental results showed that both herbicides are less potent than other herbicides in polluting water systems because of their short persistence and strong adsorption onto soil clay particles.

Identification of sulfonylurea biodegradation pathways enabled by a novel nicosulfuron-transforming strain Pseudomonas fluorescens SG-1: Toxicity assessment and effect of formulation. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2017; 324:184-193. [PMID: 28340990 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2016.10.048] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2016] [Revised: 10/19/2016] [Accepted: 10/21/2016] [Indexed: 06/06/2023]
Abstract
Nicosulfuron is a selective herbicide belonging to the sulfonylurea family, commonly used on maize culture. A bacterial strain SG-1 was isolated from an agricultural soil previously treated with nicosulfuron. This strain was identified as Pseudomonas fluorescens and is able to quantitatively dissipate 77.5% of nicosulfuron (1mM) at 28°C in the presence of glucose within the first day of incubation. Four metabolites were identified among which ASDM (2-(aminosulfonyl)-N,N-dimethyl-3-pyridinecarboxamide) and ADMP (2-amino-4,6-dimethoxypyrimidine) in substantial proportions, corresponding to the hydrolytic sulfonylurea cleavage. Two-phase dissipation kinetics of nicosulfuron by SG-1 were observed at the highest concentrations tested (0.5 and 1mM) due to biosorption. The extend and rate of formulated nicosulfuron transformation were considerably reduced compared to those with the pure active ingredient (appearance of a lag phase, 30% dissipation after 10days of incubation instead of 100% with the pure herbicide) but the same metabolites were observed. The toxicity of metabolites (standardized Microtox® test) showed a 20-fold higher toxicity of ADMP than nicosulfuron. P. fluorescens strain SG-1 was also able to biotransform two other sulfonylureas (metsulfuron-methyl and tribenuron-methyl) with various novel pathways. These results provide new tools for a comprehensive picture of the sulfonylurea environmental fate and toxicity of nicosulfuron in the environment.
