Abstract

Adsorption of chlorsulfuron {2-chloro-N-[[(4-methoxy-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl) amino] carbonyl] benzenesulfonamide} on four soils having different pH values (6.2 to 8.1) was low. Log/log Freundlich isotherms for all soils at 8 and 30 C were linear, the extent of adsorption being greater at 8 than at 30 C. There was an inverse relationship between pH and degradation rate with a half-life of 88.5 days at pH 6.2 and 144 days at pH 8.1 at 20 C. Rapid disappearance was noted during the first 15 days after application. With decreasing moisture and temperature, chlorsulfuron degraded more slowly. The half-life ranged from 229 days at 10 C and moisture content of 75% field capacity to 62.5 days at 40 C and 75% field capacity at pH 7.7.
