“…Contact UMI directly Although the current study is focused on com rootworm insecticides, enhanced degradation is not unique to com agriculture. It has been reported in several other ecosystems, such as rice (Sethunathan, 1971), vegetables Harris et al, 1988), sorghum (Wilde and Mize, 1984), and turf grass (Niemczyk and Chapman, 1987). The…”

The degradation of eight pesticides was evaluated In a soil pretreated with their respective hydrolysis metabolites. 2,4-Dlchlorophenol, p-nltrophenol, and salicylic acid conditioned the soil for enhanced degradation of 2,4-dlchlorophenoxyacetlc acid (2,4-D), parathlon, and Isofenphos, respectively. Repeated application of carbofuran phenol, 2-lsopropyl-4-methyl-6-hydroxypyrlmldlne, methyl phenyl sulfone, thlophenol, Isopropyl salicylate, and 2,4,5trlchlorophenol had no effect on the rate of degradation of their parent pesticides. Prior exposure of soil to 3,5,6-trlchloro-2-pyrldlnol resulted In Increased persistence of Its parent compound, chlorpyrlfos. Results Indicate that pesticide hydrolysis metabolites can affect the Induction or Inhibition of enhanced microbial degradation of some sollapplled pesticides.
