Abstract:
      Picoxystrobin is mainly used in controlling diseases in grain crops. However, its environmental behaviors are still not well understood. Here we investigated leaching, photocatalytic degradation and volatilization of picoxystrobin using liquid extraction combined with high performance liquid chromatography(LE-HPLC) detection. There was no volatilization of picoxystrobin detected in water and three typical soils. The half-life of picoxystrobin in photocatalytic degradation were 26.70 h on the surface of fluvo-aquic soil, 32.80 h on cinnamon soil, 2.80 h on red soil, and 3.20 h in water. The migration of picoxystrobin was 0.083, 0.08, and 0.25 in fluvo-aquic soil, cinnamon soil, and red soil, respectively. These results demonstrate that picoxystrobin is stable and accumulates in soil with long-term and frequent applications, but is easily degraded in water.
