Degradation of imazosulfuron in soil

Pest Management Science, 2001
AbstractImazosulfuron, 1‐(2‐chloroimidazo[1,2‐a]pyridin‐3‐ylsulfonyl)‐3‐(4,6‐dimethoxypyrimidin‐2‐yl)urea, is a new post‐emergence sulfonylurea herbicide applied once per growing season, highly active at low application levels, used to control most annual and perennial broad‐leaf weeds and sedges in paddy rice (75–95 g AI ha−1) and turf (500–1000 g AI ...

Soil degradation, restoration and management in abandoned and afforested lands

Soil Degradation, Restoration and Management in a Global Change Context, 2019
Soil degradation is currently one of the major worldwide environmental problems, being land abandonment one of its main causes. In the last decades an important number of researchers from five continents have studied the interactions between land ...

Soil microbial degradation of Aldrin

Life Sciences, 1968
Abstract The degradation of aldrin by soil microorganisms has been investigated. Ninety-two pure cultures were screened in vitro for aldrin degrading activity. The majority showed some capacity for converting aldrin to dieldrin. Among the fungi, Trichoderma were the most active, followed by Fusarium and Penicillium ...

Degradation of monocrotophos in soils

Chemosphere, 2006
The degradation of a widely used organophosphorus insecticide, monocrotophos (dimethyl (E)-1-methyl-2-methylcarbamoyl vinyl phosphate) in two Indian agricultural soils at two concentration levels, 10 and 100 microg g(-1) soil under aerobic conditions at 60% water-holding capacity at 28+/-4 degrees C was studied in a laboratory.

Carbofuran degradation in soil profiles

Journal of Environmental Science and Health, Part B, 1997
Two soils, Puyallup fine sandy loam from Puyallup, WA, and Ellzey fine sand from Hastings, FL, each with a prior history of carbofuran exposure but with different pedological and climatological characteristics, were found to exhibit enhanced degradation toward carbofuran in surface and subsurface soil layers.

Evaluation of soil physical properties of long-used cultivated lands as a deriving indicator of soil degradation, north Ethiopia

Physical geography, 2019
Soil degradation causes low land productivity. To tackle soil degradation, soil management practices have been implemented in the study area. However, less attention has been given to the management of physical soil quality.

Soil degradation studies

1983
The April 22, 1981 draft of the Environmental Protection Agency Guidelines (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 1981) emphasizes metabolism aspects of soil studies. The intent is to identify breakdown products that might accumulate in soil. A single soil is recommended; it must represent the soil at intended application sites.
