The retention and fate of triadimefon fungicide were studied under two environmental conditions. Field studies were conducted on two soils, a sandy loam soil (Fanar) and a clay soil (Raouda). Fanar is a wet coastal area while Raouda is a dry agricultural area of the Bekaa plain located at an elevation of 870 m above sea level. Triadimefon was applied with a jet sprayer at 267 g a.i.ha(-1) and 200 g a.i.ha(-1) at Fanar and Raouda, respectively. Reconstituted soil columns (600 x 30 mm) glasses, were used to study the fungicide movement and metabolism in the two soils. Analyses of triadimefon and its metabolites were carried out using gas chromatography (GC) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The results indicated a weak reversibility of the adsorbed fraction in the clay soil. Clay is considered an important factor in triadimefon adsorption. Triadimefon mobility in the sandy-loam soil was relatively high in comparison with behavior in the clay soil where about half of the applied fungicide was detected in the upper 25 cm of soil, six days after treatment. Rapid degradation of triadimefon to triadimenol was observed in the two soils. The observed half-life was 8 days in sandy-loam and 13 days in clay soils.
