Abstract:

An improved understanding of imidacloprid (IMI) metabolism and accumulation in casing soil or compost-mushroom systems will help to optimise the safe use of IMI for agricultural pest control in Agaricus bisporus cultivation. In this study, the dissipation, metabolites and accumulation of IMI in casing soil or compost-A. bisporus systems were investigated. The results show that the IMI dissipation half-lives at doses of 10 and 50 mg kg-1 were 65 d and 59 d in casing soil and 6.6 d and 6.2 d in compost, respectively during the cultivation period. Three IMI metabolites were observed in casing soil during cultivation of mushrooms. Urea-imidacloprid (IMI-urea) was a major metabolite, accounting for more than 59%. In compost, the main metabolite in the first 5 days was IMI-urea, from 5 to 10 days olefin-imidacloprid (IMI-ole) and 6-chloronicotinic acid (6-CNA) were both the most prominent compounds, and after 10 days 6-CNA alone. At 50 mg kg-1 dose, IMI and the metabolites (IMI-urea, IMI-ole) were detected in the fruiting body with IMI applied to casing soil and only the metabolite 6-CNA was detected in fruiting body with IMI applied to compost. The bio concentration factors (BCFs) of IMI-ole and IMI-urea were higher than of IMI and 6-CNA, and the BCFs had no obvious relationship with log Kow. Furthermore, the potential dietary risk of IMI in A. bisporus was acceptable when application rates in casing soil or compost was up to 50 mg kg-1. Our study supports a safe use of IMI as agricultural pest control in A. bisporus cultivation.
