The behavior of metsulfuron-methyl and its residues in an artificial pond was studied using a (14)C isotopic tracer technique. Throughout the experimental period, the majority of metsulfuron-methyl residues were sustained in the pond water. Furthermore, the metsulfuron-methyl residues were just found in the surface layer of the sediment, and the transfer distance of these residues had only reached 9-12 cm by the end of the experiment. The extract residues of metsulfuron-methyl in sediment were slightly higher than those of the bound residues (BR) during the initial experiment stage, while the BR dominated the surface sediment after 45 days. Finally, the metsulfuron-methyl residues could be combined with humus in the surface sediment, and the distribution of metsulfuron-methyl residues in fulvic acid was significantly higher than that in humic acid.

The ability of some rhizosphere bacteria to mitigate herbicidal stress in cultivated plants may be useful in agriculture and bioremediation. There is poor understanding of how bacteria directly or through herbicide degradation affect the biochemical processes in plants exposed to sulfonylurea herbicides. In this study, treatment with a combination of herbicide metsulfuron-methyl (MSM) and bacteria ( DA1.

Understanding the environmental fate of chemical herbicides is crucial to sustainable agriculture. Due to their joint-use with nitrogen fertilizers, their residues often coexist with NO in agricultural drainages. In this study, tribenuron-methyl was used as a model to evaluate the role of NO in the phototransformation of chemical herbicides, which was characterized by a two-stage process.

Multiresidues of pesticides in the particulate matter (PM) emitted by rural soils of the semiarid pampas, Argentina. A potential source of air pollution.

The aim of this work was to evaluate the presence of 40 pesticides in the PM emitted by rural soils of the semiarid region of Argentina. Six agricultural soils for grain production under no till and with high use of pesticides (AG), 5 agricultural soils for forage and grain production under conventional tillage (AFG) and 5 unpaved rural roads (RR) were sampled. The PM was generated using the Easy Dust Generator and it was collected with an electrostatic precipitator.

Conventional rapid detection methods are difficult to identify or distinguish various pesticide residues at the same time. And sensor arrays are also limited by the complexity of preparing multiple receptors and high cost. To address this challenge, a single material with multiple properties is considered.

AllyMax is a widely used herbicide formulation in wheat-rice cropping areas of the world. The residues of its active ingredients, tribenuron methyl (TBM) and metsulfuron methyl (MET), persist in soil and water as co-contaminants, and cause serious threats to nontarget organisms. This study was performed to assess the potential of a bacterial consortium for the degradation and detoxification of TBM and MET individually and as co-contaminants.
