Enantioselective Degradation of Rac-Metolachlor and S-Metolachlor in Soil
ABSTRACT Separation of chiral enantiomers and the dissipation of rac-metolachlor and S-metolachlor in soil were evaluated using achiral high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and chiral gas chromatography (GC) methods. Under the experimental conditions the possible metabolite was considered to be N-(2-ethyl-6-methyl-phenyl)-2-hydroxy-acetamide.

Metolachlor, S-metolachlor and their role within sustainable weed-management
Crop Protection, 1998Abstract The herbicide metolachlor has been widely used for over 20 years for selective weed control in more than 70 crops worldwide. Its favourable soil behaviour and low risk for developing weed resistance means that metolachlor integrates well into sustainable weed-management practices, such as conservation tillage.

Mitigation of atrazine, S-metolachlor, and diazinon using common emergent aquatic vegetation
Journal of Environmental Sciences, 2017By the year 2050, the population of the United States is expected to reach over 418 million, while the global population will reach 9.6 billion. To provide safe food and fiber, agriculture must balance pesticide usage against impacts on natural resources.

Tolerance and phytoremediation capacity of atrazine and S-metolachlor by two duckweeds
Environmental Science and Pollution ResearchThe phytotoxicity and removal of atrazine and S-metolachlor in sterile duckweed systems were estimated in this study. Herbicides were added at environmentally relevant ranges: 0-400 µg/L for atrazine or 0-200 µg/L for S-metolachlor in systems with Spirodela polyrhiza or Lemna minor.

Endocrine and physiological effects of linuron and S-metolachlor in zebrafish developing embryos
Science of The Total Environment, 2017Evaluation of the effects of linuron and S-metolachlor on apical, biochemical and transcriptional endpoints in zebrafish (Danio rerio) early life stages was the main purpose of this work. Embryos were exposed for 96h to a range of concentrations of each herbicide to determine lethal and sub-lethal effects on apical (e.g.

[Toxicity effects of Rac- and S-metolachlor on two algaes].
Huan jing ke xue= Huanjing kexue, 2013The enantioselective toxicity of the chiral herbicides Rac- and S-metolachlor to Scenedesmus obliquus and Chlorella vulgaris was determined, and the effect of humic acid was studied by using acute toxicity testing method. The results indicated that the toxicity of Rac- and S-metolachlor increased with increasing concentration and exposure time.

Bacterial communities in batch and continuous-flow wetlands treating the herbicide S-metolachlor
Science of The Total Environment, 2014Knowledge of wetland bacterial communities in the context of pesticide contamination and hydrological regime is scarce. We investigated the bacterial composition in constructed wetlands receiving Mercantor Gold(®) contaminated water (960 g L(-1) of the herbicide S-metolachlor, >80% of the S-enantiomer) operated under continuous-flow or batch modes to ...

Ecotoxicity of nicosulfuron and S-metolachlor-based herbicides on non-target plants
Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Part AHerbicides have been extensively researched due to widespread use in agriculture, consequently raising concerns regarding their environmental impact and potential adverse effects on non-target organisms, including humans. Nicosulfuron is a post-emergence herbicide used to control annual or perennial grasses and broad-leaved weeds.
