This paper reports laboratory studies of the behavior and fate of triflusulfuron-methyl in aqueous buffer and soils. Aqueous hydrolysis was pH-dependent and fast in acidic buffer solutions. In basic buffers, the hydrolysis rate variation was low between pH 7 and pH 10. The degradation pathway in the range of pH 4-10 was via cleavage of the sulfonylurea bridge to form two transformation products: 2-amino-4-(dimethylamino)-6-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)-1,3, 5-triazine (2) and 6-methyl-2-methylcarboxylate benzene sulfonamide (3). Comparison of transformation rates in sterile and nonsterile soils indicates that chemical and microbial processes are important in soil degradation. The former is more important in acidic soils, and the latter is more important in basic soils. A biphasic model fits well with dissipation of triflusulfuron-methyl in soil. The triazine formed during the first step of transformation was degraded more rapidly in basic soils than in acidic soils.
