Abstract/Contents: | A laboratory study was conducted to determine the degradation rates and identify major metabolites of the herbicide metsulfuron-methyl in sterile and non-sterile aerobic soils in the dark at 20°C. Both [phenyl-U-¹⁴C]- and [triazine-2-¹⁴C]metsulfuron-methyl were used. The soil was treated with [¹⁴C]metsulfuron-methyl (0.1 mg kg⁻¹) and incubated in flow-through systems for one year. The degradation rate constants, DT₅₀, and DT₉₀ were obtained based on the first-order and biphasic models. The DT₅₀ (time required for 50% of applied chemical to degrade) for metsulfuron-methyl, estimated using a biphasic model, was approximately 10 days (9-11 days, 95% confidence limits) in the non-sterile soil and 20 days (12-32 days, 95% confidence limits) in the sterile soil. One-year cumulative carbon dioxide accounted for approximately 48% and 23% of the applied radioactivity in the [phenyl-U-¹⁴C] and [triazine-2-¹⁴C]metsulfuron-methyl systems, respectively. Seven metabolites were identified by HPLC or LC/MS with synthetic standards. The degradation pathways included O-demethylation, cleavage of the sulfonylurea bridge, and triazine ring opening. The triazine ring-opened products were methyl 2-[[[[[[[(acetylamino)carbohyl]amino]carbonyl]amino]carbon< >yl]-amino]sulfonyl]benzoate in the sterile soil and methyl 2-[[[[[amino[(aminocarbonyl)imino]methyl] amino]carbonyl]amino]sulfonyl]benzoate in the non-sterile soil, indicating that different pathways were operable. |
