Retention of the fungicide triadimenol in Latosol due to lime and phosphate applications

Abstract

The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of liming and phosphate applications on the retention of triadimenol in microcolumns of soil material of a distrophic Red-Yellow Latosol (Typic Hapludox) and a distrophic Red Latosol (Typic Hapludox). Lime and phosphate applications decreased retention of triadimenol on LVAd samples (7.7% and 8.6%, respectively, for 2.67 and 10.68 kg ha^-1 of the active principle). Lower retention of triadimenol was observed on LVd samples when lime and phosphate were applied separately (liming 7.2% and 3.9%, phosphate fertilization 10.1% and 6.8%, respectively, for 2.67 and 10.68 kg ha^-1 of the compound). In spite of the amount of the chemical in soil solution being inferior to 1% of the dose applied, higher values of the chemical were found in the samples with lime and phosphate, singly or not in the LVAd and singly in the LVd.
