Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

In Appling Course and Commerce soils, DE-498 degraded with pseudo-first order half lives, based on initial rate data, of 27 and 42 days, respectively. No accumulation of metabolites above 10% of the applied radioactivity were observed, and DE-498 became increasingly bound to soil organic matter with time. It is unlikely that the material contained in the bound fraction of the soil (i.e., extractable only by caustic) is available to the environment for plant uptake or other processes.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

It is unlikely that the DE-498 contained in the bound fraction of the soil (i.e., extractable only by caustic) is available to the environment for plant uptake or other processes. The parent material should be the only aerobic analyte of concern for future field studies.

Executive summary:

The degradation of DE-498, uniformly 14C-labeled in the aniline portion of the molecule, was studied in Appling Coarse sandy clay loam and Commerce silt loam soils. The chemical was applied at 0.07 ppm, corresponding to the maximum field application rate of 79 grams per hectare, as well as the concentration found in field dissipation studies. Under aerobic conditions at 25 degrees C, DE-498 degraded with apparent first order half lives, based on initial rate data, of 27 and 42 days, in the Appling and Commerce soils, respectively. These results are comparable to data obtained with DE-498 radiolabeled on the pyrimidine portion of the molecule. No accumulation of metabolites above 10% of applied DE-498 was observed and DE-498 became increasingly bound to soil organic matter with time. Thus, the parent should be the only aerobic analyte of concern for future field studies. Overall 14C accountability averaged greater than 94% of the applied activity.
