Аннотация: BACKGROUND The purpose of the present study was to develop ecofriendly herbicide formulations. Its main aim was to develop and investigate slow-release formulations of herbicides (metribuzin, tribenuron-methyl, and fenoxaprop-P-ethyl) of different structure, solubility, and specificity, which were loaded into a degradable matrix ofПоказать полностьюpoly-3-hydroxybutyrate (P(3HB)) blended with available natural materials (peat, clay, and wood flour). RESULTS Differences in the structure and physicochemical properties of the formulations were studied depending on the type of the matrix. Herbicide release and accumulation in soil were associated with the solubility of the herbicide. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy showed that no chemical bonds were formed between the components in the experimental formulations. Degradation of the formulations in agro-transformed soil in laboratory conditions was chiefly influenced by the shape of the specimens (granules or pellets) while the effect of the type of filler (peat, clay, or wood flour) was insignificant. The use of granules enabled more rapid accumulation of the herbicides in soil: their peak concentrations were reached after 3 weeks of incubation while the concentrations of the herbicides released from the pellets were the highest after 5-7 weeks. Loading of the herbicides into the polymer matrix composed of the slowly degraded P(3HB) and natural materials enabled both sustained function of the formulations in soil (lasting between 1.5 and >= 3 months) and stable activity of the otherwise rapidly inactivated herbicides such as tribenuron-methyl and fenoxaprop-P-ethyl. CONCLUSION The experimental herbicide formulations enabled slow release of the active ingredients to soil. (c) 2019 Society of Chemical Industry
