Environmental Profile
Ecotoxicology: Algae:EC50 (96 h) for Selenastrum capricornutum 30 mg/l.Bees:LD50 (oral) >100 mg/bee.Birds:Acute oral LD50 for quail and mallard ducks >4500 mg/kg.Daphnia:LC50 (48 h) 1.18 mg/l.Fish: LC50 (96 h) for trout 27.5 mg/l.Other beneficial spp.:Harmless to Phytoseiulus persimilis at up to 2 recommended application rate. Environmental fate: Animals:Chlozolinate is readily absorbed, metabolised and excreted. Metabolites identified in urine of rats are: 3-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)-5-methyloxazolidin-2,4-dione, N-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)-2-hydroxypropionamide, O-1-carboxyethyl-N-3,5-dSoil:In silt-loam, sandy loam and clay loam soils, hydrolysis and decarboxylation occur; aerobic DT50 <7 h.Plant:In plants, chlozolinate undergoes hydrolysis and decarboxylation processes, giving the same metabolites as those identified in animals.
