Abstract

A mathematical model describing the behavior of 14C-haloxyfop {2-[4-[(3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)-2-pyridinyl] oxy] phenoxy] propanoic acid} and its methyl and ethoxyethyl esters on yellow foxtail [Seteria glauca (L.) Beauv. #3 SETLU] has been developed to evaluate volatility, penetration, ester transformation, metabolism, and transport of the chemical in the plant system. The effects of crop oil concentrate, temperature, structure of the molecule, and the addition of bentazon [3-(1-methylethyl)-(1H)-2,1,3-benzothiadiazin-4(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide] to the application solution on the kinetic rate constants have been studied. Crop oil concentrate was found to dramatically increase penetration at an optimal level of approximately 0.3% (v/v). Significant increases in rate constants were observed at higher temperatures. Esters were rapidly converted to the acid in the plant with conversion of the ethoxyethyl ester being approximately twice as fast as the methyl ester. Subsequent metabolism of the acid proceeded at a moderate rate which was independent of the original ester form of the molecule. All kinetic processes were described by first-order rate constants with the exception of transport which appeared to slow a few hours after application even though acid levels in the plant were high. When bentazon was applied in combination with haloxyfop-methyl, penetration of the ester was somewhat inhibited, while transport of radioactivity associated with the molecule to other plant parts was dramatically reduced.
