Abstract/Contents: | Discusses chemical properties of insecticides (water solubility, sorption, and persistence), and the three possible consequences of insecticide application: adsorption, transfer (drift, volatilization, run-off, leaching, and crop removal), and degradation (hydrolysis, alkaline hydrolysis, biological degradation, and photodegradation). Details a microbial degradation case study of isofenphos. |
