This study evaluated the mobility and persistence of aldicarb and its degradation products in red-yellow oxisol (LVA) using soil columns, after the application of Temik 150. Leaching experiments were performed using polyvinyl chloride (PVC) columns filled with soil contaminated with aldicarb and rain simulation of 6.05 mm day-1, at 10 day intervals, for 90 days. Aldicarb, aldicarb sulfoxide and aldicarb sulfone residues were extracted from soil (solid-liquid) and percolated water (liquid-liquid) samples with quantification by CG-FID. The results showed that aldicarb was rapidly oxidized to aldicarb sulfoxide and aldicarb sulfone in 10 days after the application. Aldicarb sulfoxide percolated through 15 cm of the soil column and could not be detected in the soil after 40 days incubation. From the 60 days since application, residues were no longer detected in the samples of percolated water and soil fractions, indicating rapid degradation and low potential for groundwater contamination.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
