Abstract

Triticonazole and prothioconazole are widely used systemic agricultural triazole fungicides both with a chiral center. In this work, the enantioselective degradation of triticonazole and prothioconazole in three types of soils were investigated under native conditions using reversed phase liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry with a Chiralcel OD-RH column. The results indicated that the enantioselective degradation was observed with S-triticonazole and R-prothioconazole preferentially degraded and the degradation rate was fast with a half-life within 6 days. It was also found that the presence of earthworms can accelerate the degradation and further enhance degradation enantioselectivity of triticonazole and prothioconazole in soils. Moreover, the enantioselective of triticonazole and prothioconazole in earthworms were studied. The results showed that the bioaccumulation was enantioselective with R-triticonazole and S-prothioconazole preferentially accumulated, which was similar to the soil. Our findings suggest that the enantioselective toxicity and potential effects of the metabolites should be considered for more accurate assessment of ecological risks of triticonazole and prothioconazole to target and non-target sp...Continue Reading
