AbstractAbstract
[en] The sulfonylurea herbicide sulfometuron methyl (methyl 2-[[[[(4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-2-yl)amino]-carbonyl]sulfonyl]benzoate) is the active ingredient in Oust Herbicide and is a potent broad spectrum weed control agent that is effective against many broad-leafed weed species and grasses. Environmental fate data for [14C]sulfometuron methyl in aerobic soils were obtained under laboratory and field conditions. Sulfometuron methyl readily decomposed in soil at a rate primarily dependent upon soil pH and moisture content. Saccharin was the major degradation product under sterile conditions, but in the presence of a viable soil microbial population, metabolism of the phenyl ring of [phenyl-14C]sulfometuron methyl to 14Co2 was observed
