Technical Abstract: Chloropicrin (CP) is a potential methyl bromide alternative for controlling soil-borne pests. However, the compound is highly volatile that poses strong exposure risks for humans and the environment because of volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions. A gelatin capsule formulation was developed as a potential means of reducing atmospheric CP emissions and safe application by farmers. The objective of this study was to determine the distribution, emission, leaching and soil residue of CP after applying the gelatin capsules in soil columns. Comparable CP soil gas concentrations were obtained between a conventional liquid injection control and the gelatin capsule application with film treatment. When soil surface was irrigated with 39.6 mm water in 6 h per day, CP soil gas concentration was similar to the film treatments at depths below 20 cm, but lower concentrations were observed at 0-20 cm depth. The application of CP gelatin capsules reduced total CP emission by ~3 times compared to liquid injection with film cover. Daily irrigation after gelatin capsule application reduced CP emission to non-detectable levels. Leachate CP concentration in the irrigation treatment was also found to be non-detectable. Similar residual soil CP was found between the liquid injection and the two gelatin capsule treatments. The results indicated that CP gelatin capsules could be a promising new technology for reducing environmental emissions and potential human exposure.
