Effect on earthworms: low toxicity to earthworms, acute 14 day LC50 is >1000 a.i.mg/kg.
ENVIRONMENTAL FATE
Ethoxysulfuron's use as herbicide is expected to result in its direct release to the environment. If released to air, a vapor pressure of 0.066 mPa at 25 deg C indicates Ethoxysulfuron low volatility. Particulate-phase Ethoxysulfuron will be removed from the atmosphere by wet and dry deposition. Ethoxysulfuron has a photolysis half-life of 30 days at pH 7, it is stable in distilled, sterile water but photodegradation rapid in natural waters. If released to soil, Ethoxysulfuron is expected to have moderate mobility based upon an average experimental Koc of 134. Volatilization from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process based upon experimental data and an estimated Henry's Law constant of 1.94×10-13 Pa m3/mol. EU dossier DT50 range 6-18 days (soil), 51 days (flooded paddy fields), DT90 range 59 -169 days, Field data DT50 range 14-21 days, DT90 range 46-69 days. If released into water, Ethoxysulfuron is not 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. LogP <3 suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low.
Usage: Reported by E. Hacker et al. (Proc. Br. Crop Prot. Conf. - Weeds, 1995, 1, 73). Manufacturers: Bayer CropScience. Biochemistry: Branched chain amino acid synthesis (ALS or AHAS) inhibitor. Acts by inhibiting biosynthesis of the essential amino acids valine and isoleucine, hence stopping cell division and plant growth. Selectivity is due to differential metabolism in crop and weed (H Köcher & G Dickerhof, Proc. Br. Crop Prot. Conf. - Weeds, 1995, 1, 249). Metabolic basis of crop selectivity in sulfonylureas reviewed (M. K. Koeppe & H. M. Brown, Agro-Food-Industry, 6, 9-14 (1995)).
Application: Under development for broad-leaved and sedge weed control in cereals, rice and sugar cane, at 10-120 g/ha.
