Fotodegradasi Klorpirifos Sebagai Bahan Aktif Pestisida Di Tanah Gambut
ABSTRACT
This study aimed to evaluate the degradation rate of chlorpyrifos due to sunlight exposure and duration of exposure in peat soil. The research was conducted experimentally using a factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with two treatment factors. The first factor was sunlight exposure (direct and indirect), and the second factor was the duration of exposure (0, 7, 14, 21, and 29 days). Each treatment combination was replicated three times, resulting in a total of 30 experimental units. The observed parameters included chlorpyrifos concentration, degradation rate, half-life, and the physicochemical properties of peat soil, with weather data used as secondary data. The results indicated that both sunlight exposure and duration had a significant effect on the reduction of chlorpyrifos concentration in peat soil. Direct sunlight exposure was more effective than indirect exposure, with a maximum reduction of 37% observed after 29 days. Chlorpyrifos degradation occurred gradually and was enhanced by increased light intensity and exposure duration. After 29 days, direct exposure reduced the half-life of chlorpyrifos to 53.31 days, compared to 57.75 days under indirect exposure. These findings demonstrate that direct sunlight and longer exposure periods accelerate the degradation process of chlorpyrifos. Chlorpyrifos in peat soil is classified as moderately degradable, indicating it is neither rapidly degraded nor highly persistent.
