Movement of aldicarb in different soil types [Pesticides]

The movement of aldicarb in different soil types was measured under laboratory conditions. The influence of large volumes of water on such movement was monitored. Water and insecticide residues leaching through Sandy, loam, clay, Sandy-loam, clay-loam, silt-loam, muck, and peat soils were documented. Clay soil retains the highest amount of aldicarb residues, followed by loam soil. This retention is shown to be a function of water flow and some type of physical binding to soil particles.
