Sorption-desorption of indaziflam and its three metabolites in sandy soils

Indaziflam is a relatively new herbicide for which sorption-desorption information is lacking, and nothing is available on its metabolites. Information is needed on the multiple soil and pesticide characteristics known to influence these processes. For four soils, the order of sorption was indaziflam (N-[1R, 2S)-2,3-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-1H-inden-1-yl]-6-[(1R)-1-fluoroethyl]-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine) (sandy clay loam: K-f = 5.9, 1/n(f) = 0.7, K-foc = 447; sandy loam: K-f = 3.9, 1/n(f) = 0.9, K-foc = 276) > triazine indanone metabolite (N-[(1R, 2S)-2,3-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-3-oxo-1H-inden-1-yl]-6-[(1R)-1-fluoroethyl]-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine) (sandy clay loam: K-f D 2.1, 1/n(f) = 0.8, K-foc = 177; sandy loam: K-f = 1.7, 1/n(f) = 0.9, K-foc = 118) > fluoroethyldiaminotriazine metabolite (6-[(1R-1-Fluoroethyl]-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine) (sandy clay loam: K-f = 0.3, 1/n(f) = 0.9, K-foc = 28; sandy loam: K-f = 0.3, 1/n(f) = 0.9, K-foc = 22) = indaziflam carboxylic acid metabolite (2S, 3R)-3-[[4-amino-6-[(1R)-1-fluoroethyl]-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl] amino]2,3- dihydro-2-methyl-1H-indene-5-carboxylic acid) (sandy clay loam: K-f = 0.3, 1/n(f) = 0.9, K-foc = 22; sandy loam: K-f = 0.5, 1/n(f) = 0.8, K-foc = 32). The metabolites being more polar than the parent compound showed lower sorption. Desorption was hysteretic for indaziflam and triazine indanone metabolite, but not for the other two metabolites. Unsaturated transient flow Kd's were lower than batch Kd's for indaziflam, but similar for fluoroethyldiaminotriazine metabolite. Batch Kd's would overpredict potential offsite transport if desorption hysteresis is not taken into account.
