RESUMO

Haloxyfop-methyl is a chiral herbicide against grasses in dicotyledonous crops. In plants and soil, haloxyfop-methyl is rapidly hydrolyzed to haloxyfop-acid, whose R-enantiomer carries the actual herbicidal activity. In soil, S-haloxyfop-acid is converted within less than 1 day and almost completely into R-haloxyfop-acid. In this study, we investigated the possible interconversion of the enantiomers of haloxyfop-methyl and haloxyfop-acid in blackgrass and garden cress. Racemic or enantiopure haloxyfop-methyl was applied to the leaves of plants grown in agar. The metabolism was followed during 4 days using enantioselective GC-MS. In contrast to soils, no interconversion was observed in plants, and metabolism was nonenantioselective. These findings are consistent with the fact that after pre-emergence application to soil and uptake by roots, the observed herbicidal effect is basically independent of the enantiomer composition of the applied substance, whereas after postemergence application, the efficacy clearly is different for the two enantiomers.

RESUMO

Sprouts contaminated with human pathogens are able to cause food-borne diseases due to the favorable growth conditions for bacteria during germination and because of minimal processing steps prior to consumption. We have investigated the potential of hot humid air, i.e., aerated steam, to treat alfalfa and mung bean seeds which have been artificially contaminated with Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Weltevreden, and Listeria monocytogenes Scott A. In addition, a recently collected E. coli O178:H12 isolate, characterized by a reduced heat sensitivity, was exposed to the treatment described. Populations of E. coli O157:H7 and S. enterica on alfalfa and mung bean seeds could be completely eliminated by a 300-s treatment with steam at 70 ± 1°C as revealed by enrichment studies. L. monocytogenes and E. coli O178:H12 could not be completely eliminated from artificially inoculated seeds. However, bacterial populations were reduced by more than 5 log CFU/g on alfalfa and by more than 4 log CFU/g on mung bean seeds. The germination rate of mung beans was not affected by the 300-s treatment compared to the germination rate of untreated seeds whereas that of alfalfa seeds was significantly lower by 11.9%. This chemical-free method is an effective alternative to the 20,000-ppm hypochlorite treatment presently recommended by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
