Dear colleagues,
are you aware of a study on the impact of nitrification inhibitors on pesticide metabolization? Our question is whether we will see changes in metabolization kinetics of pesticides and/or fingerprint of transformation products in the presence/absence of nitrification inhibitors. We are thinking about conducting some lab tests but if there were already some studies around we could avoid it.
Thanks in advance
Karsten
Hi Karsten,
we have conduct some studies of the inhibition on nitrification by Glyphosate, so we have looked the other way round. But during this incubations we have used nitrification inhibitors like Clorate for nitritoxidation inhibition and ATU for ammoniaoxidation inhibition. We measured the Glyphosate and also the AMPA concentration during incubations (as the metabolised Product of Glyphosate). But I never had a look on the data from the perspective of your question. But I can do it, if you are interested. We had a poster about the data at the EGU 2014.
Cheers,
Tina
Hi Tina,
thanks a lot for the info. Chlorate and ATU are not exactly our focus (we are more interested in DCD, 1H-1,2,4-triazole etc. ) but it would be very interesting to learn about the effects you observed with the compounds you used! So if you could have another look at it from this dierection I would be very happy.
Cheers
Karsten
lots of rumors but I have never sen solid data. Lookingforward to see theresults of such a study.
