摘要

The degradation of imazapyr in four soils was investigated under laboratory aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Under aerobic conditions, imazapyr degraded faster in yellow-red soil than in other soils, and its persistence decreased depending on soil pH in the order coastal soil (pH 8.8) > silt-loamy paddy soil (pH 7.9) > fluvio-marine yellow loamy soil (pH 7.1) > Yellow-red soil (pH 5.3). However, soil pH did not affect imazapyr degradation under anaerobic conditions. The half-lives of imazapyr in soils under aerobic conditions were in the range of 26-44 days estimated by the first-order kinetics model, while 3-10 days calculated by two-stage model under anaerobic conditions. The preceding results demonstrated that anaerobic conditions contributed to imazapyr disappearance in soils. Based on the spectral data of APCI-MS, H-1 NMR and IR, structures of the following metabolites: 2,3-pyridinedicarboxamide, 2,3-pyridinedicarboxylic anhydride and 2,3-pyridinedicarboximide for aerobic treatments; 2,3-pyridinedicarboxylic anhydride and 2-(4-hydroxy-5-oxo-2-imdazolin-2-yl) nicotinic acid for anaerobic treatments, were identified. Degradation mechanism under the different conditions was also discussed.
