Fertilizers containing toxaphene are approved in two states.

Fertilizer-Insecticide Mixtures, Stability of Certain Insecticides in Mixtures with Fertilizers

“…The literature contains little experimental evidence relative to the compatibility of insecticides with fertilizers and their stability in fertilizer mixtures (7). Certain data, however, are available on DDT (4) and aldrin (5).…”

“…and heptachlor derived from cyclopentadiene. Endrin is known to rearrange (7) and others may behave similarly. Although such rearrangements do not involve chlorine loss, they may inactivate the insecticide.…”

Production and Use of Liquid Fertilizers

“…As for pesticides and herbicides, the situation in the liquids field appears to be no clearer than in solid fertilizer manufacturing (5). Several producers reported that such additives tend to separate on standing, a difficulty which they avoid by postponing addition until just before field application.…”

Compatibility of Five Herbicides with a Suspension Fertilizer1

“…tures that include suspension fertilizers, because colloidal materials in the fertilizers might adsorb herbicide molecules, rendering them ineffective. Impregnating solid fertilizers with 2,4-dichloro-phenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) started the use of fertilizer-herbicide combinations (8,10). Early emphasis on liquid fertilizer-herbicide mixtures concerned attempts to improve the phytotoxicity of the chemicals, particularly when 2,4-D was used (5).…”
