| Abstract/Contents: | "Two nonionic surfactants altered photolysis rates of chlorimuron and metsulfuron in aqueous solutions and on glass slides exposed to sunlight. Photolysis of both herbicides followed first-order kinetics over an 8-day exposure period. Chlorimuron half-lives in solution were 5.8, 3.7, and 2.7 days in the presence of no surfactant, oxysorbic, and octoxynol, respectively. The extrapolated half-life of metsulfuron in solution with no surfactant was 15.7 days, compared to half-lives of 2.9 and 1.5 days in solutions containing oxysorbic or octoxynol, respectively. With the exception of metsulfuron in the absence of a surfactant, rates of chlorimuron and metsulfuron photolysis on glass slides were approximately two- to fourfold slower, and surfactants had little or no effect on herbicide photolysis rates compared to those in aqueous solution. Extrapolated half-lives on glass ranged from 9.9 to 12.5 days for chlorimuron and from 7.6 to 11.7 days for metsulfuron. Presence of oxysorbic or octoxynol did not greatly alter rates of riboflavin-sensitized herbicide photolysis on glass but did increase photolysis rates of metsulfuron in aqueous solution containing riboflavin. |
