Abstract

To study the effect of Hydromax adjuvant and the application of organic and biofertilizers on the persistence of nicosulfuron herbicide in the soil, an experiment was carried out as a factorial arrangement based on completely randomized block design with three replications during 2014-2015. Experimental treatments were cow manure, vermicompost, mycorrhiza biofertilizer and a control treatment as the first factor, use of 80 and 40 g a.i ha-1 of the recommended dose of nicosulfuron herbicide as the second factor, and the use of Hydromax adjuvant and without adjuvant as the third factor. To determine nicosulfuron residual in the soil, sampling was done from 0-15 cm depth of soil at different intervals of 0, 2, 5, 8, 16, 30, 60, 90 days after spraying and then the herbicide residue was determined using HPLC. Results showed that nicosulfuron soil residual increased by the increasing of its rate. By increasing the rate of herbicide application, degradation rate decreased from 0.039 to 0.037 μg/kg/day, but half-life increased from 17.77 to 18.83 days. Also nicosulfuron degradation rate decreased from 0.037 to 0.034 μg/kg/day and half-life increased from 18.73 to 20.39 days in soil when Hydromax adjuvant applied with nicosulfuron at 80 g a.i ha-1. On the other hand, degradation rate of nicosulfuron increased from 0.037 to 0.061, 0.056 and 0.051 μg/kg/day, and half-life values decreased from 18.73 to 11.36, 12.38 and 13.59 days in soil when organic and biofertilizers applied with nicosulfuron at 80 g a.i ha-1 without adjuvant. Our results showed that the application of organic and biofertilizers with reduced rate of nicosulfuron (40 g a.i ha-1) and adjuvant can lead to the decrease of persistence herbicide in the soil.
