Abstract
Pedospheric sorption investigation of sulfonyl urea herbicide Triasulfuron via regression correlation analysis in selected soils
Highlights
Weed control is an imperative factor for an effective crop production and the prevention of weed-crop competition at an early stage plays a very paramount role.[1]
Soil sampling was done by using the composites and random sampling while soil preparation was done by standard method
The soil physiochemical properties that are considered to be most important for sorption studies of pesticide are texture, organic matter (SOM), organic carbon (TOC), and pH
Summary
Weed control is an imperative factor for an effective crop production and the prevention of weed-crop competition at an early stage plays a very paramount role.[1]. TS herbicides are generally used in many countries for its higher specificity for weed control, lower mammalian toxicity and low application rate.[11] Oat, barley, wheat and rye are the main crops which are being protected from weeds by applying TS. The fate of Triasulfuron in the environment was revealed by its adsorption and desorption behaviour in geographically distinct soils samples.[18] Despite higher application rates, Triasulfuron has not been studied comprehensively in an agricultural country like Pakistan. The present study investigates Triasulfuron sorption behaviour in selected soils and draws a clear environmental trend depicting the dependence of sorption on soils’ physicochemical characteristics
