Influence of Formulation on Mobility of Clomazone in Soil

چکیده
The mobility of clomazone [2-(2-chlorobenzylo)-4,4-dimetylo-1,2-oxazolidin-3-one] in a loamy sand soil and a sand soil was studied in a soil column under laboratory conditions. Commercial clomazone formulation (Command 480 EC) and clomazone immobilized in an alginate matrix were used for a leaching experiment. For both formulations, the same dose of 2.0 mg of the active substance was applied. After an application of a herbicide, the columns were irrigated with: 100, 40 and 3.7 mm of water. After 1 h, when an addition of water was completed, the soils were sampled in the 5 cm segments and were used for the analysis of the residues. The use of an alginate formulation reduced the vertical mobility of clomazone into a soil layer in comparison with the formulation EC.

PEST MANAGEMENT: WEEDS Alert®, a New Clomazone Formulation
A new formulation of clomazone (the active ingredient in Command herbicide) was evaluated at four locations in 2010. The trade name of this product is Alert® and it was developed by Cheminova. The level of crop response and barnyardgrass control observed with Alert was similar to that of Command herbicide. Furthermore the rate structure and level of control observed by soil type appears to be t...

The herbicides ametryn and clomazone are widely used in sugarcane cultivation, and following microbial degradation are considered as soil and water contaminants. The exposure of microorganisms to pesticides can result in oxidative damage due to an increase in the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). This study investigated the response of the antioxidant systems of two bacterial strains...
متن کاملEnvironmental fate and toxicology of clomazone.
Clomazone, an isoxazolane herbicide, was first registered for use in 1986 for pest grasses and broad leaf weeds. Although the exact mode of action is still unclear, it is well documented that clomazone causes bleaching of foliar structures; the clomazone metabolite 5-ketoclomazone is regarded to cause the bleaching and to be the ultimate plant toxicant. Although clomazone exhibits low mammalian...
