ENVIRONMENTAL FATE
Animals In mammals, following oral administration, cyproconazole is rapidly absorbed, extensively metabolised and excreted, DT50 c. 30 h. No bioaccumulation. Plants In different crops, metabolic pathways are similar and the major residue is cyproconazole itself. Soil/Environment In soil, cyproconazole degrades moderately quickly, DT50 c. 3 mo. No accumulation and leaching potential. Soil adsorption, Freundlich K 4.1 (loam, pH 6.4, o.m. 2.3%), 16 (loamy sand, pH 5.1, o.m. 3.9%).
