Abstract: Topramezone was a new broad-spectrum herbicide used in corn field. The study was to evaluate the environmental behavior of topramezone in soil. The adsorption of topramezone in 5 soils was studied in the laboratory by using vibrating equilibrium method. The results indicated that adsorption of substance in 5 soil samples and adsorption of humic acid tested were well fitted with Freundlich model, with the adsorption coefficients respectively as Nong’an calcium soil 9.44, Yongji white pulp soil 8.98, Lishu black soil 16.02, Qianguo sodic soil 7.83, Liuhe gray brown soil 29.37. Topramezone showed medium absorption in the gray brown soil, but more difficult adsorption in the remaining 4 soils. Adsorption with changes of free energy was less than 40 kJ/mol, which was a type of physical adsorption. The sorption constants of soil to topramezone were positively related to both the contents of soil organic matter and the contents of soil CEC, however negatively related to the contents of soil pH. Adsorption coefficient of humic acid was 177.40, demonstrating that humic acids had a strong adsorption with topramezone. After Adding humic acids in black soil and sodic soil, the adsorption coefficient changed to 17.98 and 9.80, proving that the humic acid has a certain influence on adsorption of topramezone in the soil.
