Abstract

A bioassay using red beet root length indicated an increase in imazethapyr bioactivity in Berryland sand (BLS) as soil pH increased from 3.7 to 6.5. Increasing pH above 6.5 had no effect on imazethapyr bioactivity. The lowest imazethapyr concentrations detected by the bioassay at pH 6.5 were 0.5, 1, 2.5, and 5 to 10 μg kg−1 in acidwashed quartz sand, BLS, Aura loamy sand, and muck soil, respectively. After application of 0.07 kg ae ha−1 with 12.5 mm of simulated rainfall at 3-d intervals, imazethapyr remained in the 0 to 15 cm soil in BLS soil columns. Under this rainfall regime, the herbicide moved 30 cm deep 5 mo after application, but residues decreased significantly in surface soil. Imazethapyr bioactivity was highest and mobility was lowest at low soil temperature (10 C) and low moisture (4 to 6% w/w). Imazethapyr movement was monitored successfully using the red beet root length bioassay, and an herbicide residue map was developed to show the pattern of imazethapyr bioactivity in soil columns.
