Abstract
Behavior of the herbicide pyrazolynate, 4-(2,4-dichlorobenzoyl)-1,3-dimethylpyrazol-5-yl p-toluenesulfonate, in paddy water and soil after application to paddy fields was investigated to evaluate the hydrolyzation to destosyl pyrazolynate (DTP), 4-(2,4-dichlorobenzoyl)-1,3-dimethyl-5-hydroxypyrazole. The respective maximum concentrations of pyrazolynate and DTP were 440–1,240 and 200–260 μg/L, respectively, in the paddy water, and 610–860 μg/kg dry and 460–730 μg/kg dry in the paddy soil. The applied pyrazolynate was drained from the paddy fields as DTP. The runoff ratios of DTP from the paddy fields were calculated as 19 % ± 14 %. The respective mean values of the half-lives of pyrazolynate and DTP were 0.87 ± 0.091 and 17 ± 1.4 days in the paddy water and 2.2 ± 0.70 and 26 ± 2.1 days in the paddy soil, respectively.
