ABSTRACT

Glufosinate ammonium is a broad spectrum, non-selective, contact and organophosphate herbicide which is commonly used in Malaysian oil palm plantations. Research area was one of the oil palm growing areas of Malaysia is located adjacent to the Tasik Chini, Pahang. Farmers use this herbicide to control several types of unwanted plants which could compete with the oil palm for nutrients. Rain water and the sprayed solution are easily adsorbed by soil particles. The glufosinate ammonium sorption was determined by the batch equilibrium technique. The collected soil samples (0-50 cm depth) divided into five groups at 10 cm depth intervals. Glufosinate ammonium adsorption coefficients were correlated with the soil pH, organic matter (OM), clay content, and cation exchange capacity (CEC). Series of glufosinate ammonium standard were as 0.01, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 3, 5, and 10 μm/mL. The Linear and Freundlich equations were fitted for obtaining the adsorption and desorption isotherms. The result of the analyses showed that adsorption of glufosinate ammonium was correlated to the clay content. The clay fraction of the soil is the main absorbent of the glufosinate ammonium. Desorption from the soil was indicated by the high binding strength of the adsorbed glufosinate ammonium.

Keywords: Adsorption; desorption; glufosinate ammonium; linear equation; sorption isotherm

 

ABSTRAK

Glufosinat ammonium adalah herbisid yang berspektrum luas, tidak memilih, jenis sentuhan dan di dalam kumpulan organofosfat yang sering digunakan dalam ladang kelapa sawit di Malaysia. Tapak kajian adalah di kawasan penanaman kelapa sawit yang terletak bersebelahan dengan Tasik Chini, Pahang. Petani menggunakan herbisid ini untuk mengawal beberapa jenis rumpai yang mengganggu tanaman dan boleh bersaing dengan pokok kelapa sawit untuk mendapatkan nutrien. Air hujan dan larutan herbisid mudah terserap oleh zarah tanah. Penjerapan glufosinat ammonium ditentukan oleh teknik keseimbangan berkelompok. Sampel tanah yang dikumpulkan (kedalaman 0-50 cm) dibahagikan kepada lima kumpulan pada jarak 10 cm kedalaman. Koefisien penjerapan ammonium glufosinat dikaitkan dengan pH tanah, bahan organik (OM), kandungan tanah liat, dan kapasiti pertukaran kation (CEC). Siri piawai amonium glufosinat ialah 0.01, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 3, 5 dan 10 μm/mL. Persamaan Linear dan Freundlich dipasang untuk mendapatkan isoterma penjerapan dan penyahjerapan. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahawa penjerapan amonium glufosinat dikaitkan dengan peratusan kandungan tanah liat. Sebahagian tanah liat tanah adalah penjerap utama glufosinat ammonium. Penyahjerapan daripada tanah ditunjukkan oleh kekuatan ikatan penjerapan glufosinat ammonium yang tinggi.

Kata kunci: Glufosinat ammonium; isoterma penjerapan; penjerapan; persamaan linear; penyahjerapan
