Adsorption and degradation of sulfosulfuron in soils.

Adsorption of sulfosulfuron was studied in two soils (topsoil from Alfisol and Inceptisol). The adsorption of sulfosulfuron was greater in topsoil collected from Alfisol than in Inceptisol. The soil sorption coefficient K and the soil organic carbon sorption coefficient K(oc) are the basic parameters used for describing the environmental fate of the herbicides.

Dissipation of alachlor in cotton plant, soil and water and its bioaccumulation in fish.

Dissipation of alachlor in soil and plant in field condition (cotton cropping system), and in soil, water and fish in simulated model ecosystem was investigated. The acetanilide herbicide, alachlor (50% w/w EC) was applied as pre-emergence at 2.5 and 5.

Dissipation of sulfosulfuron in soil and wheat plant under predominant cropping conditions and in a simulated model ecosystem.

Environmental fate and dissipation of the sulfonylurea herbicide sulfosulfuron was investigated in soil (inceptisol) and wheat plant under predominant cropping conditions. Studies were conducted in natural field conditions and in a simulated model ecosystem. Thirty days after the wheat seeds had been sown, sulfosulfuron [N-[[(4,6-dimethoxy-2-pyrimidinyl)amino]carbonyl]-2-(ethylsulfonyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-sulfonamide] 75% w/w WG formulation was applied once in the field.
