| Abstract/Contents: | "Pendimethalin (I, N-(1-ethylpropyl)-2, 6-dinitro-3, 4-xylidine), a preemergent selective herbicide of dinitroaniline group, has been extensively used for weed control in cotton, rice, soybean, tobacco, etc. In general, most dinitroaniline herbicides seem to be moderately persistent, i.e., they are degraded to non-phytotoxic levels within the growing season in warm, moist soils (Kearney et al. 1976) and undergo several transformation reactions including N-dealkylation, nitroreduction and cyclization when incorporated into the soil (Marquis et al. 1979). Although the microbial process of transformation is considered as the major or sometime the only means by which pesticides are eliminated from a variety of ecosystems (Alexander 1972) but little is known about the microbial transformation products of pendimethalin excepting the works of Barua et al. (1990) and Yoko et al. (1990). The present investigation has thus been intended to carry out the microbial transformation of pendimethalim by an important soil bacterium Azotobacter chroococcum Beijerinck in pure culture condition. Attempts have also been made to establish the structure-activity relationship among the different transformation products of pendimethalin for the safety evaluation of the environment." |
