Analysis of river water for rice pesticides in eastern Arkansas from 2002 to 2008

Abstract: Pesticides used in rice production have the potential to harm nontarget species. The objective of this study was to measure concentrations of selected rice pesticides in four rivers in eastern Arkansas from spring through mid-August for 2002 through 2008 to determine if changes over time might be leading to environmental water quality problems above a threshold of 2 µg L -1 (2 ppb). Most of the pesticide detections were in May, June, and early July. The probability of detecting a given compound in any sample r… Show more

“…During the off-season, reservoir quinclorac concentrations (median 0.70 μg L −1 ) exceeded ditch concentrations (median 0.40 μg L −1 ; p < .001), but differences were small in magnitude compared with the growing season. Quinclorac has an estimated degradation half-life of 168-913 d (Lewis et al, 2016) and was persistent within the growing season in the OFWS-TWR systems monitored by Dewell and Lavy (1996) and rivers monitored by Mattice et al (2010). Therefore, it is not surprising to find quinclorac in OFWS-TWR systems during the off-season.…”

“…1, is a widely used herbicide to control annual broadleaf weeds in the cultivation of rice, sugar cane and diversity of vegetable crops 1 . Environmentally, clomazone has been frequently detected in ground and surface waters as a persistent pollutant hence water contamination by clomazone is of great environmental concern 1,2 . In addition, exposure to clomazone has been proven to be detrimental to both land and aquatic lives 3,4 .…”

“…Because of its long dissipation half‐life (28–84 days), minimal volatility (P v = 1.44 × 10 −4 mmHg), slow degradation by photolysis or hydrolysis and great water solubility (1100 mg L −1 ), this herbicide has great potential to contaminate surface and ground waters. Indeed, it is one of the most frequently detected herbicides in water sampled in rice‐growing areas, with reported concentrations > 3.7 μg L −1 (e.g. Marchesan et al …”
