Ability of Forage Grasses Exposed to Atrazine and Isoxaflutole to Reduce Nutrient Levels in Soils and Shallow Groundwater

چکیده
Successful implementation of vegetative buffers requires inclusion of plant species that facilitate rapid dissipation of deposited contaminants before they have a chance to be transported in surface runoff or to shallow groundwater.

The effect of five forage species on transport and transformation of atrazine and isoxaflutole (balance) in lysimeter leachate.
A field lysimeter study with bare ground and five different ground covers was established to evaluate the effect of forage grasses on the fate and transport of two herbicides in leachate. The herbicides were atrazine (ATR; 2-chloro-4-ethylamino-6-isopropylamino-1,3,5-triazine) and isoxaflutole [IXF; 5-cyclopropyl-4-(2-methylsulfonyl-4-trifluormethyl-benzoyl)isoxazole], which has the commercial ...
متن کاملImproved HPLC-MS/MS method for determination of isoxaflutole (balance) and its metabolites in soils and forage plants.
A robust multi-residue procedure is needed for the analysis of the pro-herbicide isoxaflutole and its degradates in soil and plant materials at environmentally relevant (<1 microg kg-1) levels. An analytical method using turbo-spray and heat-nebulizer high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) was developed for the analysis of isoxaflutole (IXF) and its two met...

متن کاملExperimental and Numerical Modeling of the Effect of Groundwater Table Lowering on Bearing Capacity of Shallow Square Footings
The lowering of the groundwater table causes the area above the water table to become unsaturated and capillary phenomena to appear in this zone. This means that the bearing capacity of shallow footings will be influenced by capillary stress or matric suction. In this research, the effect of groundwater table lowering on the bearing capacity of a shallow square model footing on dense sand has b...
متن کاملEvaluation of microbial inoculation and vegetation to enhance the dissipation of atrazine and metolachlor in soil.
Four greenhouse studies were conducted to evaluate the effects of native prairie grasses and two pesticide-degrading bacteria to remediate atrazine and metolachlor in soils from agricultural dealerships (Alpha site soil, northwest Iowa, USA; Bravo site soil, central Iowa, USA). The Alpha soil contained a low population of atrazine-degrading microorganisms relative to the Bravo soil. Each soil f...
