ENVIRONMENTAL FATE
Tribenuron-methyl's production may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams; it's use as an herbicide will result in its direct release to the environment. If released to air, a vapor pressure of 3.9×10-10 Hg at 25 deg C indicates tribenuron-methyl will exist solely in the particulate phase in the atmosphere. Particulate-phase tribenuron-methyl will be removed from the atmosphere by wet and dry deposition. Tribenuron-methyl has been shown to be stable to direct photolysis. If released to soil, tribenuron-methyl is expected to have high mobility based upon an estimated Koc of 63. Volatilization from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process based upon a Henry's Law constant of 1.02×10-13 atm-cu m/mole. The pKa of the sulfonamide group of tribenuron methyl is 4.7, indicating that this compound will partially exist in the anion form in the environment and anions do not volatilize from moist soil or water surfaces and generally do not adsorb more strongly to organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts. Tribenuron-methyl is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces based upon its vapor pressure. Tribenuron-methyl has a reported field half-life of 10 days at pH 6. If released to water, volatilization from water surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process based upon this compound's pKa and Henry's Law constant. An estimated BCF of 3 suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low. Tribenuron-methyl has reported hydrolysis half lives of 1 day and 15.8 days at pH values 5 and 7, respectively, and is stable at pH 9. Occupational exposure to tribenuron-methyl may occur through dermal contact with this compound at workplaces where tribenuron-methyl is produced or used. (SRC)
Usage: Herbicide reported by D. T. Ferguson et al. (Proc. Br. Crop Prot. Conf. - Weeds, 1985, 1, 43). The methyl ester introduced in Spain (1986) by E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Co.; first approval in 1987. Manufacturers: DuPont; Jiangsu Yangnong; Sharda; Shenyang. Affects sensitive weeds through inhibition of the enzyme acetolactate synthase (ALS). Inhibition of ALS leads to the rapid cessation of cell division and subsequent growth processes in plants.
Application: Selective, post-emergence herbicide, acting primarily through foliar uptake, with little or no soil activity. Symptoms of chlorosis appear in affected weeds in days with necrosis and death occuring after 10-25 days under optimal conditions. Post-emergence control of broad-leaved weeds in cereal crops, including wheat, barley, oats, rye and triticale, at 7.5-30 g/ha.
