Estudo do inseticida carbofurano em solo e sedimento de área de produção de arroz irrigado e controle do gorgulho aquático Oryzophagus oryzae, Taubaté, São Paulo, Brasil

Resíduos do inseticida e nematicida carbofurano e de seu principal metabólito 3-hidroxicarbofurano foram averiguados em tabuleiros de arroz irrigado e em áreas adjacentes para controle do gorgulho aquático da espécie Oryzophagus oryzae Lima, 1936. As amostras foram coletadas no período de 6/9/1999 a 4/5/2000 e analisadas por cromatografia a líquido de alta eficiência (HPLC) utilizando-se detector de fluorescência. Não foram detectados resíduos de carbofurano e de seu metabólito 3-hidroxicarbofurano dentro dos limites de determinação do método

Atrazine movement in a dark red latosol of the tropics.

Atrazine dissplacement was studied in a soll profile as function of water movement and time after herbicide application, taldng into account possible influences of preferential flow on keaching. The experiment consisted of two 7 x 7 m plots of a dark red latosol (Kanduidalfic Eutrudox), located at Pirecicaba, SP, Brazil (22o43'S and 47o25'W), 250 km inside continent, at an altitude of 580 m. One plot was previously treated with 1,000 kg/ha of lime, in order to increase saturation to 88%, and 500 kg/ha of gypsum. Each plot was instrumented with tensiometers, neutron probe acess tubes and soil solution extractors, in order to monitor water and atrazine flows. Atrazine was applied at the high rate of 6 kg/ha of active principllle. Results showed intensiive leaching of atrazine in the whole soil profile, up to the instrumented depth of 150 cm, alredy at the first sampling, seven days after herbicide application. The limed plot showed much higher atrazine leachinng losses than the other plot. The atrazine adsorption capacity of the soll is very low, its maximum value being of the order of 10%, for the 0-15 cm surface layer.1997Numero especial

Carbon disulfide formation in papaya under conditions of dithiocarbamate residue analysis

Golden, Sunrise Solo and Tainung cultivars of papaya were found to release CS2 when submitted to experimental conditions of dithiocarbamate residue analysis. Three common analytical methods were used to quantitate CS2; one spectrophotometric method and two chromatographic methods. All three methods gave positive CS2 results for all three papaya varieties. Other endogenous compounds present in isooctane extracts of papaya fractions detected via gas chromatography (GC/ITD) using electron ionization (El) were: carbonyl sulfide, dimethyl sulfide, carbon disulfide, 2-methylthiophene, 3-methylthiophene, 2-ethylthiophene, 3-ethylthiophene, benzylisothiocyanate, benzylthiocyanate and benzonitrile. Control samples were obtained from papaya plantations cultivated in experimental areas, in which no treatment with fungicides of the dithiocarbamate group was applied. Endogenous CS2 levels were compared with true dithiocarbamate residues measured in papaya samples from the field trials following applications of the mancozeb fungicide. Three days after application, true dithiocarbamate residues, measured by the procedure with isooctane partitioning and GC-ITD, were at the average level of 2 mg kg(-1). (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

Atrazine movement in a dark red latosol of the tropics Movimento da atrazina numa terra roxa estrutrada eutrófica

Atrazine displacement was studied in a soil profile as a function of water movement and time after herbicide application, taking into account possible influence of preferential flow on leaching. The experiment consisted of two 7 x 7m plots of a dark red latosol (Kanduidalfic Eutrudox), located at Piracicaba, SP, Brazil (22º 43'S and 47º 25'W), 250km inside continent, at an altitude of 580m. One plot was previously treated with 1,000 kg/ha of lime, in order to increase base saturation to 88%, and 500kg/ha of gypsum. Each plot was instrumented with tensiometers, neutron probe access tubes and soil solution extractors, in order to monitor water and atrazine flows. Atrazine was applied at the high rate of 6 kg/ha of active principle. Results showed intensive leaching of atrazine in the whole soil profile, up to the instrumented depth of 150cm, already ate the first sampling, seven days after herbicide application. The limed plot showed much higher atrazine leaching losses than the other plot. The atrazine adsorption capacity of the soil is very low, its maximum value being of the order of 10%, for the 0-15cm surface layer.<br>O presente trabalho teve como objetivo verificar o deslocamento de atrazina no perfil do solo, em função do movimento da água e do tempo de aplicação, e possíveis influências de fluxos preferenciais sobre a lixiviação. O trabalho foi conduzido em uma Terra Roxa Estruturada eutrófica de textura argilosa, em Piracicaba (SP), no período de junho de 1992 a fevereiro de 1993. Foram instalados dois experimentos, sendo um com a cultura do milho irrigado (experimento 1) e o outro em solo nu (experimento 2). O experimento 1 foi instalado em uma área de 1000m² sobre a qual se demarcou duas parcelas de 12m x 12m separadas uma da outra por 18m. Uma parcela foi irrigada e a outra fertirrigada. O experimento 2 foi instalado em duas parcelas de 7m x 7m, separadas uma da outra por 5m. Em uma das parcelas do experimento 2 aplicou-se previamente 1.000kg de calcário/ha para elevar a saturação de bases para 88%, além de 500kg de gesso/ha. Cada parcela do experimento 2 foi constituída de três Unhas de instrumentos e os resultados obtidos para cada Unha foram comparados entre si para verificação de fluxo preferencial A atrazina foi aplicada na dosagem de 6,31/ha no experimento 1 e 6kg do principio ativo/ha no expeimento 2. Os resultados mostraram intensa lixiviação da atrazina em todo o perfil do solo até 150cm de profundidade já na primeira coleta efetuada 7 dias após a aplicação. A parcela 2 do experimento 2, apesar de não ter recebido calcário, mostrou perdas de atrazina por lixiviação muito maiores que a parcela 1. O solo apresentou pequena capacidade de adsorção de atrazia (máximo em torno de 10% na camada de 0-30cm)
