Abstract

Growth chamber studies were conducted to examine the soil residual properties of DPX-A7881, a new sulfonylurea herbicide. The phytotoxic residue levels in the soil were determined by a lentil radicle bioassay. The duration of activity was prolonged in soil adjusted to pH 7.6 and 8.1 relative to more acidic levels. The rate of breakdown in the soil was enhanced with increased temperature and soil moisture content; a significant temperature by moisture interaction was noted over the duration of the incubation period. The dissipation of DPX-A7881 in soil obeyed first-order kinetics in both studies. An accelerated rate of breakdown in unsterilized versus sterilized soil (pH 7.6) indicated that microbial degradation was an important factor affecting the persistence in alkaline soils. Herbicide residues in the soil caused a reduction in taproot length and number of primary lateral roots of canola seedlings 15 days after planting but there were no other morphological effects observed on the root. The secondary laterals, however, had generally recovered by this time.
