Abstract/Contents: | "The lateral movement, soil persistence and aqueous hydrolysis of sulfometuron [2-([{[(4,6-dimethyl-2-pyrimidinyl)amino]carbonyl]} amino]sulfonyl)-benzoic acid] was evaluated. Sulfometuron applied at 140 g a.i. ha-1 from slopes to nontarget areas was minimal and was not detected in the 0-to-30-cm-soil depth, when sampled up to 120 cm downslope from the treated area on 2, 8, or 16% slopes 1 yr after treatment. The highest sulfometuron concentration found downslope from the treated area was less than 1 micro g kg-1 regardless of the slope. Sulfometuron moved beyond the soil column (70 cm deep) in Fairdale loam [fine-loamy, mixed (calcareous), frigid, Mollic Udifluvents], Felor silty clay loam (fine-loamy, mixed, Typic Agriborolls), and Barnes stony loam (fine-loamy, mixed, Udic Haploborolls) soils when leached with 45.7 cm of water for 48 h compared to only 35 to 50 cm deep when leached with the same amount of water over 9 wk. Sulfometuron degradation increased as soil temperature and moisture increased. Sulfometuron was detected for an average of 429 d in Felor silty clay loam at pH 6.1, 8 degrees C, and 45% field capacity but only 218 d in the same soil at 90% field capacity and 16 degrees C. Degradation was slower in Renshaw and Sioux sandy loam [(undifferentiated soil mixture) fine-loamy over sandy or sandy skeletal, mixed Unic Haploborolls and sandy-skeletal, mixed Udortheutic Haploborolls] with a pH 7.4 and averaged > 700 d, regardless of environmental conditions. Sulfometuron hydrolysis was similar regardless of solution pH with an average of 63% 14C-sulfometuron remaining after 28 d in water at pH 5,7, and 9. The average half-life of 14C-sulfometuron was 31 and 65 d in ultraviolet-irradiated and dark control samples, respectively." |
