ENVIRONMENTAL FATE
Diuron's production may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams; its use as a pre-emergence herbicide and sugarcane flowering suppressant will result in its direct release to the environment. If released to air, a vapor pressure of 6.90×10-8 mm Hg at 25 deg C indicates diuron will exist solely in the particulate phase in the atmosphere. Particulate-phase diuron will be removed from the atmosphere by wet or dry deposition. The two main absorption bands for diuron are located at 247 nm and 284 nm; absorption is very low but not completely negligible between 320 and 370 nm and therefore diuron may be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight. If released to soil, diuron is expected to have moderate to low mobility based upon measured Koc values ranging from 224 to 879. Volatilization from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 5.0×10-10 atm-cu m/mole. Diuron is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces based upon its vapor pressure. Utilizing the Japanese MITI test, 0% of the theoretical BOD was reached in 4 weeks indicating that biodegradation is not an important environmental fate process; adsorption to humic substances in soil hinders degradation. If released into water, diuron is expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment based upon the Koc. Volatilization from water surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process based upon this compound's estimated Henry's Law constant. Measured BCF values ranging from <2.9 to 14 indicate that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low. The rate of diuron hydrolysis is negligible at neutral pH but increases as the conditions become stongly acidic or alkaline, leading to its principle derivative, 3,4-dichloroaniline; a hydrolysis half-life of 4 months has been reported. Occupational exposure to diuron may occur through inhalation of dust and dermal contact with this compound at workplaces where diuron is produced or used. Monitoring data indicate that the general population may be exposed to diuron via inhalation of ambient air, ingestion of food and drinking water, and dermal contact with this compound. (SRC)
Usage: Herbicide reported by H. C. Bucha & C. W. Todd (Science, 1951, 114, 493). Introduced by E. I. du Pont de Nemours Co. (who no longer manufacture or market it). Manufacturers: Ancom; Bayer CropScience; Cedar; Crystal; Drexel; ÉMV; Griffin; Hegang Heyou; Hodogaya; Makhteshim-Agan; Milenia; Nufarm Ltd; Sannong; United Phosphorus. Photosynthetic electron transport inhibitor at the photosystem II receptor site.
Application: Systemic herbicide, absorbed principally by the roots, with translocation acropetally in the xylem. Total control of weeds and mosses on non-crop areas, at 10-30 kg/ha. Selective control of germinating grass and broad-leaved weeds in many crops, including asparagus, tree fruit, bush fruit, citrus fruit, vines, olives, pineapples, bananas, sugar cane, cotton, peppermint, alfalfa, forage legumes, cereals, maize, sorghum, and perennial grass-seed crops, at 0.6-4.8 kg/ha. Phytotoxic residues in soil disappear within 1 season at these lower rates.
