Abstract


Chemical and microbial degradation of the pesticide aldicarb has been studied extensively in both laboratory and field. These studies exhibit that temperature and porosity are important factors affecting the degradation of aldicarb and its daughter product sulfoxide in the soil. Since microbial activity decreases with depth, chemical processes are important component of the degradation of the aldicarb. The rate of degradation is faster in the liquid state than the sorbed state. Sorption reduces the bioavailability of the chemical and is inversely related to porosity. Hence, rate of degradation of the aldicarb and the daughter product sulfoxide is inversely related to the porosity
