ENVIRONMENTAL FATE
Metazachlor exhibited medium high mobility in soils, while the mobility of metabolites 479M04,479M06 and 479M08 was high to very high and the mobility of metabolites 479M09, 479M11 and479M12 was very high. There was no evidence that the adsorption of metazachlor and of its metabolites was pH dependent. In a 2-year lysimeter study carried out in northern Germany, metazachlor was applied in the first year only to the soil surface as a spray 15 days after an oil seed rape crop was sown in September at a rate equivalent to 1 kg a.s./ha. Parent metazachlor was not determinable (limit of detection 0.04lg/L) in any leachate sample. In contrast, the maximum annual average concentration of 479M04 was 21.4l g/L (parent equivalents). In the leachate samples, metabolite 479M12 was present at up to 3.6l g/L, 479M08 was up to 17.3l g/L, 479M09 was up to 3.3l g/L and 479M11 was up to 2.5l g/L (note these concentrations are not annual averages).
For metazachlor, the potential for groundwater exposure from the representative uses on spring and winter oil seed rape above the parametric drinking water limit of 0.1l g/L was concluded to be low in geoclimatic situations that are represented by all FOCUS groundwater scenarios (six scenarios for winter oil seed rape and three scenarios for spring oil seed rape). The potential for ground water exposure by the metabolites 479M04, 479M08, 479M09, 479M11 and 479M12 was however concluded to be high over a wide range of geoclimatic conditions represented by the FOCUS ground water scenarios.
Usage: Developed by BSSF AG, patent: RO 84824(1984), BR 7800632(1980), EP 23308(1981), Selective herbicide, absorbed by the hypocotyls and roots. Inhibits germination.
Application: Pre-emergence and early post-emergence control of winter and annual grasses (such as Alopecurus myosuroides, Apera spica-venti, Avena fatua, Digitaria sanguinalis, Echinochloa crus-galli, Poa annua and Setaria spp.) and broad-leaved weeds (Amaranthus, Anthemis, Matricaria, Polygonum, Sinapis, Solanum, Stellaria, Urtica and Veronica spp.) in artichokes, broccoli, asparagus, Brussels sprouts, cabbages, cauliflower, sweetcorn, garlic, horseradish, kale, leeks, maize, white mustard, onions, peanuts, pome fruits, potatoes, radish, rape, soya beans, stone fruits, strawberries, sugar cane, sunflowers, tobacco and turnips. Applied at 1.0-1.5 kg/ha.
