Remarks on result:

other: Potassium ethyl xanthate is a nitrification inhibitor that has a been observed to inhibit soil denitrification at concentrations around 50 ppm, but only in soils previously amended with mannitol to stimulate denitrifying activity

Details on results:

Potassium ethyl xanthate retarded denitrification when applied at the rate of 50 g g–1 soil to soil that had been amended with mannitol to promote microbial activity.
No inhibition of denitrification was observed when this compound was applied at the rate of 10 g g–1 soil, and enhancement of denitrification was observed when it was applied at the rate of 50 or 100 g g–1 soil.
The S-allyl O-pentyl dithiocarbonate (CAS No. 2956-12-9), the subject of this dossier) is expected to exhibit very similar toxicity to Potassium ethyl xanthate (CAS No. 140-89-6), which is also xanthate compound. Comparable metabolism would occur.

The influence of 28 nitrification inhibitors on denitrification of nitrate in soil was studied by determining the effects of different amounts of each inhibitor on the amounts of nitrate lost and the amounts of nitrite, N2O and N2 produced when soil samples were incubated anaerobically after treatment with nitrate or with nitrate and mannitol.

The inhibitors used included nitrapyrin (N-Serve), etridiazole (Dwell), potassium azide, 2-amino-4-chloro-6-methylpyrimidine (AM), sulfathiazole (ST), 4-amino-1,2,4-triazole(ATC),2,4-diamino-6-trichloromethyl-s-triazine (CL-1580), potassium ethyl xanthate, guanylthiourea (ASU), 4-nitrobenzotrichloride, 4-mesylbenzotrichloride, sodium thiocarbonate (STC), phenylmercuric acetate (PMA), and dicyandiamide (DCD).Only one of the nitrification inhibitors studied (potassium azide) retarded denitrification when applied at the rate of 10 g g–1 soil, and only two (potassium azide and 2,4-diamino-6-trichloromethyl-s-triazine) inhibited denitrification when applied at the rate of 50 g g–1 soil. The other inhibitors either had no appreciable effect on denitrification, or enhanced denitrification, when applied at the rate of 10 or 50 g g–1 soil, enhancement being most marked with 3-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole. Seven of the inhibitors (potassium azide, sulfathiazole,potassium ethyl xanthate,sodium isopropyl xanthate, 4-nitrobenzotrichloride, sodium thiocarbonate, and phenylmercuric acetate) retarded denitrification when applied at the rate of 50 g g–1 soil to soil that had been amended with mannitol to promote microbial activity.Reports that nitrapyrin (N-Serve) and etridiazole (Dwell) inhibit denitrification when applied at rates as low as 0.5 g g–1 soil could not be confirmed. No inhibition of denitrification was observed when these compounds were applied at the rate of 10 g g–1 soil, and enhancement of denitrification was observed when they were applied at the rate of 50 or 100 g g–1 soil.

Validity criteria fulfilled:

yes

Conclusions:

Potassium ethyl xanthate is a nitrification inhibitor that has been observed to inhibit soil denitrification at EC50= 50 mg/l.
