ENVIRONMENTAL FATE
Imazamox's production may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams; it's use as a herbicide will result in its direct release to the environment. If released to air, a vapor pressure of less than 1.0×10-7 mm Hg at 20 deg C indicates imazamox will exist solely in the particulate phase in the ambient atmosphere. Particulate-phase imazamox will be removed from the atmosphere by wet and dry deposition. If released to soil, imazamox is expected to have very limited leaching based on field studies and remain in the top 30 cm (12 inches) of soil. Volatilization from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 9.15×10-19 atm-cu m/mole. Imazamox is primarily degraded by microbes in soil. Field dissipation half-lives range from 15 to 130 days with typical representative half-lives of 20 to 50 days. If released into water, some adsorption to suspended solids and sediment may occur. Volatilization from water surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process based upon this compound's estimated Henry's Law constant. An estimated BCF of 3.16 suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low. Photodegradation in shallow water can occur (surface half-life of about 7 hours). Aqueous hydrolysis is not expected to be an important environmental fate process. Occupational exposure to imazamox may occur through inhalation of dust and dermal contact with this compound at workplaces where imazamox is produced or used. (SRC)
Usage: EUP first granted in 1995; US unconditional registration in 2001. Manufacturers: BASF. Biochemistry: Branched chain amino acid synthesis (ALS or AHAS) inhibitor. Selectivity in soya beans and peanuts is attributed to rapid detoxification via demethylation and glycosylation (B. Tecle et al., Proc. 1997 Br. Crop Prot. Conf. - Weeds, 2,605).
Application: Post-emergence herbicide, absorbed through both foliage and roots and translocated to growing points. Plants wilt and turn brown. For post-emergence weed control in soya beans and other legumes grown in rotation with sugar beet and other crops where more persistent imidazolinones are not suited and in crops tolerant to imazamox, such as 'Clearfield' wheat, rape and sunflowers. Application rates 0.032-0.05 lb/a.
