Foliar washoff of pesticides (FWOP) model: Development and evaluation

Abstract

The Foliar Washoff of Pesticides (FWOP) Model was developed to provide an empirical simulation of pesticide washoff from plant leaf surfaces as influenced by rainfall amount. To evaluate the technique, simulations by the FWOP Model were compared to those by the foliar washoff algorithm of the Chemical, Runoff and Erosion from Agricultural Management Systems (CREAMS) Model. The two algorithms were linked individually to the Pesticide Runoff Simulator (PRS) for the comparison. Five years of test data from a Mississippi watershed were used to evaluate six insecticides (carbaryl, profenofos, methyl parathion, permethrin, phorate, and toxaphene).

Initially, the FWOP model was used to evaluate the relative impact of chemical distribution (foliage versus soil) on the subsequent foliar washoff and soil surface contributions to runoff losses. Results indicated that runoff losses were low If all of the insecticide was applied to the foliage whereas high losses occurred if applied only to the soil. When an assumed application was distributed between the plant and soil (i.e., 90% to foliage and 10% to soil), predicted runoff losses compared well with observed field data (<3% of the application rate).

Except for toxaphene, the FWOP model generally predicted less washoff and subsequent runoff losses than the CREAMS approach. Simulated toxaphene washoff losses were in good agreement with observed field data. Statistical comparisons of the two modeling approaches using the Kolmogorov‐Smirnov test showed differences in the two cumulative frequency distributions for washoff but smaller differences for runoff. Average 5‐year runoff losses, however, were greater using the CREAMS approach—by factors of 2, 3, and 3 for profenofos, methyl parathion and phorate, respectively.

Results from this study will be useful for upgrading current exposure assessment models to more accurately address foliar washoff losses of pesticides as well as for assessing the impact of foliar‐applied chemicals on environmental quality.     

Translocation of aged cyclodiene insecticide residues from soil into forage crops and pastures at various growth stages under field conditions

Abstract

Field trials were conducted to measure translocation of pesticides by summer and winter forage/pasture species from soil containing aged residues of heptachlor and, to a lesser extent, dieldrin. Substantial amounts of heptachlor epoxide, and lesser amounts of y‐chlordane were translocated to plants from contaminated soil. Residue levels varied with crop species and stage of plant development. In summer crops residues were higher in soybean> cowpeas>lab‐lab>Sorghum>millet>sweet saccaline at the grazing and mature stages.

Compared to glasshouse studies undertaken previously, residues in crops grown under field conditions were much lower, this apparently reflects the lower soil moisture levels and the reduced rates of translocation.

Heptachlor residues in winter crops were highest in Saia oats > Berseem clover > Haifa clover > Cassia oats > Tetila ryegrass > Schooner barley > Shaftal clover > Hunter river lucerne at the grazing stage. There were no detectable levels in barley and oats at the mature stage. No dieldrin residues were translocated into the various crop species.     

10种常用农药对赤子爱胜蚓(Eisenia foetida)的急性毒性效应

为了评价农药对土壤无脊椎动物种群的生态风险,采用OECD标准滤纸法和人工土壤法测定了10种常用农药对蚯蚓(Eisenia foetida)的急性毒性效应。采用滤纸法,48h测定结果表明,4种氨基甲酸酯类(异丙威、甲萘威、速灭威和丁硫克百威)和2种有机磷类(毒死蜱和哒嗪硫磷)农药对蚯蚓的急性毒性(其LC50值为3.50(2.77～4.44)～72.42(59.58～88.05)μg·cm-2)明显高于3种昆虫生长调节剂(噻嗪酮、虫酰肼和呋喃虫酰肼)和吡蚜酮对蚯蚓的急性毒性(其LC50值>629.1μg·cm-2)。采用人工土壤法,14d测定结果表明,上述4种氨基甲酸酯类农药对蚯蚓的急性毒性(其LC50值为59.61(55.13～64.44)～134.1(127.0～141.5)mg·kg-1)明显高于上述2种有机磷类农药和其他农药对蚯蚓的急性毒性(其LC50值为193.0(180.1～206.8)～386.4(359.7～414.2)mg·kg-1)。上述结果表明,不同类型的农药对蚯蚓的毒性存在较大差异,且同一类型的不同农药品种对蚯蚓的毒性也存在较大差异。总体来看,氨基甲酸酯类农药比其他类型的农药对蚯蚓具有更高的毒性。根据《化学农药环境安全评价试验准则》,本研究采用人工土壤法测定的所有农药对蚯蚓均为低毒级。

微藻及其分泌物对溶解性有机磷矿化的促进效应

为较好认识水生态环境中溶解性有机磷(DOP)的矿化过程及其影响因素,本实验选取典型的DOP类型(腺苷-5'-三磷酸二钠盐(ATP)、β-甘油磷酸钠(βP)和D-葡萄糖-6-磷酸二钠盐(GP))、温度(4,15,25℃)、铜绿微囊藻及其分泌物占比(M. a & EPS)(0%、50%、90%)、砷酸盐(As(V))浓度(0,10,100μg/L)4种环境因素,通过L₉(3⁴)正交试验探究影响DOP矿化过程的主要影响因素、水平及矿化过程中的环境变化.结果表明: M. a & EPS作为主要影响因素可显著促进DOP的初期(前2d)矿化,之后被温度取代,温度升高有利于DOP的矿化.典型DOP矿化过程中藻细胞增殖对最佳温度下(25℃)DOP的矿化起促进作用,并使得βP与ATP环境下的pH值和氧化还原电位(ORP)产生较大波动.含As(V)环境中DOP矿化伴随着As(V)形态的转化,GP和ATP环境中均有明显的三价砷(As(III))产生,使得砷的生态风险增强,而温度与M. a & EPS占比增高可促进βP环境中As(V)的甲基化.单独DOP矿化可导致环境中以类蛋白质组分为主的溶解性有机质(DOM)含量显著升高,而存在M. a & EPS时则以可溶性微生物产物类DOM为主.研究结果对认识水体中不同DOP的矿化过程及其可能导致的水华爆发和水环境变化所带来的生态风险的科学管控具有重要意义.
