  • Title: Adsorption and degradation of thiazopyr in compost-amended and non-amended soils.
    Author: Fernández MD, Sánchez-Brunete C, Rodríguez AJ, Tadeo JL.

    Abstract:
    Adsorption and degradation of thiazopyr on two unamended soils and a soil amended annually during 8 years with compost were studied under laboratory conditions and compared with the results obtained on soils amended with fresh sewage sludge compost. The adsorption isotherms fitted the Freundlich equation well and a marked sorption increase was found in amended soils. Degradation data followed first-order kinetics and thiazopyr had a half-life of about 75 days at 25 degrees C and 60% water-holding capacity of soil. The addition of fresh compost markedly decreased the rate of thiazopyr degradation, whereas the compost mineralised in the field after annual additions had only a small influence. Incubation studies with sterile soils showed a very significant decrease of the degradation rate, indicating that degradation by micro-organisms was the main pathway of thiazopyr degradation in the soils studied.
