Conversion rates of aldicarb and its oxidation products in soils. III. Aldicarb

Open publisher page 46 citations

Abstract

Abstract Aldicarb was incubated in seven soils at 15°C and its loss was well described by first‐order kinetics. Rate constants varied between 0.078 day−1 in a peaty sand to 0.35 day−1 in a clay loam. The concentration‐time relationships for aldicarb, its sulphoxide and its sulphone were approximated by a computation model which was used to analyse the importance of the various consecutive and simultaneous reactions. It was computed that 91 to 100% of the aldicarb would be oxidised to its sulphoxide.
