High-purity reference materials for accurate residue analysis
Overview
Paclobutrazol (PBZ) is an organic compound used primarily as a plant growth retardant and triazole fungicide. It is known for its ability to inhibit gibberellin biosynthesis, thereby reducing internodal growth and promoting stouter stems, increased root growth, and early fruitset in plants.
Uses
Paclobutrazol is employed in various agricultural and horticultural applications, including:
- Ornamental crops: Used in glasshouse-reared perennial plants.
- Trees and shrubs: Applied to moderate growth under electric power lines and maintain rights-of-way.
- Fruit and vegetables: Enhances the quantity and quality of orchard fruit and vegetables.
- Turf management: Improves the quality of turf on golf courses, reducing the need for mowing.
- Cereal crops: Increases grain yields and reduces lodging in crops like winter wheat.
Regulatory
Paclobutrazol has undergone extensive regulatory studies in both the European Union and the United States. It is assessed as being of moderate acute toxicity, mildly irritating to skin and eyes, and unlikely to be genotoxic or carcinogenic to humans. The compound is relatively stable in water and soil, with a half-life of over one year under laboratory conditions.
Monitoring
Monitoring of paclobutrazol in environmental samples is crucial for ensuring compliance with regulatory limits. Quantitative analyses have detected PBZ in groundwater samples from golf turf areas, but concentrations are generally low.
Health Impact
Human Toxicity
Paclobutrazol is considered to have moderate acute toxicity. It is mildly irritating to skin and eyes but is not classified as genotoxic or carcinogenic to humans.
Environmental Impact
Effects on Wildlife
Paclobutrazol is relatively stable in the environment, which can lead to long-term exposure in wildlife. However, its overall impact on wildlife is still under study, and regulatory measures are in place to minimize any potential risks.
Safety Measures
Proper handling and application of paclobutrazol are essential to ensure safety. Personal protective equipment (PPE) should be worn, and guidelines for safe usage should be strictly followed.
Regulation
In Europe, the highest tolerable concentration of paclobutrazol in drinking water is 66 μg/L. Regulatory bodies have established guidelines to ensure that paclobutrazol usage does not pose significant risks to human health or the environment.
