Rapid degradation of bensulfuron-methyl upon repeated application in paddy soils

Abstract： Rapid degradation of bensulfuron-methyl upon repeated application in paddy soils was studied. The results showed that the DT50of bensulfuron-methyl was reduced from 16 d to 9 d in soil with one-year bensulfuron-methyl application. Rapid bensulfuron-methyl degradation was happened to previously untreated soil by addition 5% rapid bensuifuron-methyl adapted soil and was inhibited following pre-treatment with broad-spectrum antibiotic chloramphenicol. In bensulfuron-methyl adapted soil mineralisation of 14C labeled bensulfuronmethyl to 14 CO2 occurred at a faster rate than with previously untreated soil. It was concluded that rapid bensulfuron-methyl degradation upon repeated application is probably linked to the adaptation of soil bacteria which can utilize bensulfuron-methyl as a source of carbon and energy. 作 者： XIE Xiao-mei    LIU Wei-ping    Abid SUBHANI   作者單位： XIE Xiao-mei,Abid SUBHANI(College of Environmental and Resource Sciences, Department of Resources Science, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310029, China)
