3H-Trifluralin was synthesized by condensation of 3H-4-chloro-3,5-dinitro-α, α, α-trifluorotoluene with di-n-propylamine. After incubation of trifluralin with Aspergillus carneus, Fusarium oxysporum and Trichoderma viride for 10 days, a small percentage (less than 10%) of unchanged herbicide was recovered in the extractable fraction. This indicates a fairly rapid degradation of the herbicide by the fungal species. Other than trifluralin, the culture medium contained at least five labelled products: 2, 6-dinitro-N-n-propyl-α, α, α-tri-fluoro-p-toluidine; 2, 6-dinitro-α, α, α-trifluoro-p-toluidine; 2-amino-6-nitro-α, α,-trifluoro-p-toluidine, 2, 6-dinitro-4-trifluoromethyl phenol and a major polar product which constituted more than 50% of the total extractable transformation products. A pathway, which similates that of aerobic degradation of the herbicide in soil, is suggested for the microbiological degradation of trifluralin.
