Kresoxim-methyl (KM), an extensively used strobilurin fungicide, displays broad-spectrum fungicidal activity. Despite its prevalent application in agriculture and frequent detection in the environment, specific studies on the photolytic fate of KM in natural surface waters are quite limited. To address this, the present study delves into the photochemical transformation of KM under light irradiation using a high-pressure mercury lamp. Photodegradation of KM followed pseudo-first-order kinetics, with a degradation rate constant of 0.067 ± 0.005 h−1, corresponding to a half-life of approximately 10.3 ± 0.7 h, and the quantum yield was estimated to be 6.95 × 10−3. Transient species identification experiments demonstrated the involvement of singlet oxygen (1O2) and singlet (1KM*) and triplet (3KM*) states. Four different photodegradation pathways, i.e., photoisomerization, hydrolysis, hydroxylation, and ether cleavage, were proposed. Toxicity assessments demonstrated that photodegradation effectively reduced the ecotoxicity of KM. Two typical pesticide adjuvants, namely, Tween 20 and sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS), were selected to evaluate their impacts on KM photolysis. While Tween 20 exhibited a remarkable increase in the photodegradation of KM, SDBS showed a concentration dependent behavior, with an inhibitory effect at low concentrations (<200 μM) and promotional effects at higher concentration levels. The present study elucidated the photolytic KM degradation mechanism, as well as its possible inhibition and enhancement, which is of significant importance for evaluating the environmental fate and ecotoxicological risks of KM in sunlit surface waters.

Pesticide adjuvants (PAs) denote the general term for auxiliaries in pesticide preparations except for the active components. Toluene, chloroform, and trichloroethylene are the three most commonly used PAs as organic solvents. The residues of the three chemicals in the process of production and application of pesticides may endanger the ecosystem. In the present study, the mutagenicity of toluene, chloroform, and trichloroethylene as well the mixture of the three chemicals was tested by theSalmonella typhimuriumreverse mutation test (Ames test) with TA97, TA98, TA100, and TA102 strains in the system with and without rat liver microsomal preparations (S9). The four tester strains have been used for more than 40 years to detect mutagenic compounds in chemicals, cosmetics, and environmental samples. The mutagenicity was detected on tester strains in the separated experiment from the three chemicals. The addition of S9 decreased the mutation ratios of toluene to four strains, except for the TA100 strain, but increased the mutation ratios of chloroform to four strains except for the TA98 strain. Trichloroethylene caused positive mutagenicity to become negative on the TA102 strain. In the mixed experiment, positive effects were detected only on the TA102 strain in the absence of S9. The addition of S9 increased the mutagenicity except for the TA102 strain. The mixture of toluene, chloroform, and trichloroethylene showed antagonism in mutagenicity to tester strains, except for the TA102 strain without S9. However, the mixture showed a synergistic effect to tester strains after adding S9 except for the TA98 strain.

Despite small-molecule surfactants and polymers being widely used as pesticide adjuvants to inhibit droplet bouncing and splashing, they still have intrinsic drawbacks either in the easy wind drift and evaporation, the unfavorable wettability, or the usage of nonrenewable resources. In this paper, we found that upon droplet impacting, 1D nanofibers assembled from natural glycyrrhizic acid (GL) could pin on the rough hydrophobic surface and delay the retraction rate of droplets effectively. Using GL as a tank-mixed adjuvant, the efficiency of glyphosate to control the weed growth was improved significantly in the field experiment, which addressed the dilemmas of current adjuvants elegantly. Our work not only provides a constructive way to overcome droplet bouncing but also prompted us to verify in future if all 1D nanofibers assembled from different small molecules can display similar control efficiencies.

A rapid, sensitive, and practical QuEChERS method coupled with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry was developed for the simultaneous determination of 16 chemical adjuvant residues in samples of fruits (apple, nectarine, grape) and vegetables (tomato, cucumber, spinach). All target compounds were separated in less than 16 min. Samples were extracted with acetonitrile, and the types of extraction salt and cleanup sorbent were optimized. The optimized method was validated by evaluating the linearity, accuracy, precision, and matrix effect. The recoveries of the 16 pesticides adjuvants ranged from 61.2 to 116.3% with relative standard deviations lower than 11.6%. Limits of detection ranged from 0.21 to 3.02 μg/kg, and limits of quantification ranged from 0.71 to 10.07 μg/kg. Finally, the developed method was successfully employed to identify and quantify pesticide adjuvant residues in the analysis of 30 real fruit and vegetable samples.
