Aerobic soil metabolism of flupyrazofos
1998
To elucidate the fate of flupyrazofos [O,O-diethyl O-(1-phenyl-3-trifluoromethyl-5-pyrazoyl)phosphorothionate] in soil, an aerobic soil metabolism study was carried out for 60 days with [14C]flupyrazofos applied at a concentration of 0·38 μg g-1 to a loamy soil. The material balance ranged from 103·5% to 86·9% and the half-life of [14C]flupyrazofos was calculated to be 13·6 days. The metabolites identified during the study were 1-phenyl-3-trifluoromethyl-5-hydroxypyrazole (PTMHP) and O,O-diethyl O-(1-phenyl-3-trifluoromethyl-5-pyrazoyl)phosphate (flupyrazofos oxon), with maximum levels of 9·8% and 1·6% of applied radiocarbon, respectively. Evolved [14C]carbon dioxide accounted for up to 5·3% of applied radiocarbon and no volatile products were detected during the study. Non-extractable 14C-residue reached 31·6% of applied material at 60 days after treatment and radiocarbon was distributed almost evenly in humin, humic acid and fulvic acid fraction. © 1998 Society of Chemical Industry
