Herbicide disposal and recycling

The utilization and processing of herbicides is a responsible and necessary process that can be trusted only to specialists of licensed companies and specially equipped premises. In agriculture, large volumes of fertilizer and waste are accumulated annually, which must be destroyed.

Unsuitable agricultural products need to be properly disposed of, as they pose a risk to the environment and human health due to their high toxicity.

What products are recyclable?

Agricultural products have a great impact on groundwater and soil. In addition to stimulating the growth and fruiting of fruit and vegetable crops, chemical compounds saturate large plots adjacent to the fields, pesticides and agrochemicals. The composition and state of aggregation of various herbicides (a variety of pesticides for weed control) require an individual approach to the conditions of storage, use and disposal.

Fertilizers, means for suppressing the growth of weed plants are produced in the following forms:

• liquid;
• powdered;
• granulated.

Each tool is endowed with special physicochemical properties, for which appropriate technologies of neutralization are being developed.

Frequently used herbicides

The following herbicides are widely used to combat weeds, algae, unwanted tree and shrub vegetation, fungal and bacterial lesions:

• simazine;
• atrazine;
• monuron;
• copper sulfate;
• acrolein;
• kayafenon;
• kusagard;
• plywood
• trisben;
• lontrel;
• captan;
• phthalan;
• dodin;
• chlorothalonil;
• benomyl;
• Bronopol;
• lindane.

Herbicides are most often applied in a diluted state. But sometimes they fall asleep on the sowing grounds directly into the open ground. For most producers and owners of rural land, the acute problem is the utilization and timely removal of products unsuitable for use.

Herbicides may for various reasons not be used for their intended purpose. Also, manufacturing companies, caring for their reputation in the market for agricultural products, carry out routine monitoring at the point of sale of goods with the help of experts. Disposal of a batch of pesticides with the following disadvantages:

• lack of quality certificate for implementation;
• non-compliance with the requirements in force in Ukraine;
• violation of storage conditions;
• counterfeit lots;
• packaging violations;
• expired shelf life.

Herbicide disposal steps

Unusable herbicides and wastes from their production are disposed of in several stages. They are as follows:

• immersion in sealed containers and delivery to special workshops for disposal;
• processing for substrates and biohumus with further immersion in compost pits;
• neutralization of toxic compounds by thermal method;
• burning of metal oxides and salts in furnaces with high temperature regimes.

Many herbicides are subject to conservation and burial in specially prepared landfills. Agricultural waste and fertilizers are classified as fourth hazard class for the environment. In this regard, unsuitable products are closely monitored by the sanitary, environmental and technical supervision services.

Resistant herbicides and their decay products carry a high degree of threat. Aggressive components accumulate and retain in the environment for decades. The effects of toxic compounds on the environment are highly unpredictable. Therefore, independent burial of unsuitable batches is strictly prohibited. This is punishable by law (fines are issued, responsible persons may be brought to administrative (and in some cases criminal) responsibility, the company will be prohibited from carrying out its activities for a certain time).

When disposing of herbicides and their waste production, the necessary requirements for the implementation of the safest methods are met.
