Use of a Mathematical Model to Determine the Fate of Atrazine in Barley (Hordeum vulgare) Plants
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 June 2017
Abstract
A model of the pharmacokinetics of atrazine [6-chloro-N-ethyl-N′-(1-methylethyl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine] in barley (Hordeum vulgare L. ‘Escourgnon’) plants has been described. Uptake of atrazine conforms to a first-order kinetic model. Roots play a small role as a sink for atrazine. Metabolism of the herbicide conforms to a second-order kinetic model. Using this model, the amount of atrazine in leaves can be evaluated at any time if the concentration of herbicide in solution is known.
