Residue dynamics of florpyrauxifen-benzyl and its effects on bacterial community structure in paddy soil of Northeast China

Abstract

Florpyrauxifen-benzyl is an herbicide that has been developed in recent years. Its degradation mode in paddy soil environments is not clear. In this study, the degradation dynamics in paddy soil and water were studied by ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography. Microbial degradation was the main degradation pathway. Using third-generation high-throughput sequencing technology, the changes in the soil bacterial community structure were studied. After 30 days of application, compared with the control group (F0), the abundance of Sphingomonas, Lysobacter, and Flavisolibacter in the recommended and repeated application groups (F1, F5 and F10) increased significantly, and uncultured bacterium and Terrimonas decreased significantly. Compared with the F0 and F1 groups, the species diversity of the F0 and F1 groups showed a significant increase over time. The species diversity of the F5 and F10 groups decreased significantly on Days 5 and 15. On Day 30, the recovery even exceeded that of the control group. Luteimonas and five other genera were positively correlated with herbicide residues, and Pseudolabrys and two other genera were negatively correlated. Repeated application showed a significant effect on the structure of the soil bacterial community, mainly showing a trend of a significant decrease in the initial stage and gradual recovery in the later stage. The results will guide the safe and rational use of florpyrauxifen-benzyl and provide a scientific basis for florpyrauxifen-benzyl dynamic supervision of environmental pollution and protection of black soil in Northeast China.
