Selective Influence of Cyflumetofen in Degradation and Ecological Risk
Assessment
Abstract
Pesticide pollution has gradually caused land degradation. In order to
avoid this problem, it is recommended to use enantiomeric pesticides
that have less impact on the soil. The degradation of CYF enantiomers
and the effect on soil functions are closely related to microorganisms.
(+)-CYF enantiomer is degradable preferred and further discovered that
related microorganism that degrades enantiomers. CYF enantiomers alter
the bacteria structure and decreased the bacteria abundance. The
combination of high-throughput and quantitative PCR results showed that
the diversity of the (+)-CYF treatment was significantly lower than that
of the (-)-CYF (-30.41 to 44.60) treatment and the (+)-CYF treatment
(-27.80 to 56.70%) was more capable of causing the decrease in the
number of soil microorganisms. In addition, (+)-CYF severely interferes
with nitrogen cycling-related functions. Furthermore, the soil microbial
structure was changed to its original level by enantiomers posed. In the
study of nitrogen cycle function, we found that both enantiomers can
restrain the abundance of nitrogen cycle-related genes, especially the
(+)-CYF treatment decreased more. CCA showed that g-Massilia and
g-Arthrobacter are closely related to nitrogen fixation genes and
nitrification genes and degradation of the two enantiomers of CYF by
g-Arthrobacter is closely related. The biological effects of
cyflumetofen enantiomers remain unclear. Bioassay results show that
enantiomers have similar virulence to Tetranychus cinnabarinus.
Therefore, while achieving the prevention and control effect, the use of
a single isomer (+)-CYF has a higher potential risk to the soil
ecosystem.
