Evaluation of Malathion and Glyphosate Residues in Phragmites Communis Plants in Saqlawiyah, Iraq

Abstract

The study investigated the time it takes for the Exterminator “malathion” and “glyphosate” to decompose phragmites. Farmers in the city of Saqlawiya in central Anbar, Iraq, use pesticides indiscriminately to control dangerous insects and maintain forests. However, there are indirect effects of the accumulation of pesticides. The results showed that the pesticide malathion takes three Jungles to decompose and its concentration gradually decreases, as it is the highest level of flea mites was reached one hour after using the pesticide. (221.4), followed by a steady decline, reaching a minimum concentration of 0.05 after three weeks, where it was practically non-existent. In contrast, the herbicide glyphosate degraded more slowly, reaching (0.05) after three weeks and (30145.88) after one hour of application.
