The degradation of aldicarb and oxamyl in soil

The breakdown of oxamyl was studied in three downland chalk soils, a peat loam, a sandy loam, and the same sandy loam modified by adding peat. The kinetics of aldicarb degradation via its sulphoxide and aldoxycarb (aldicarb sulphone) were also studied in these two sandy loam soils. All the reactions followed first-order kinetics, the reaction being faster in the original than in the modified sandy loam. Rates of reaction were slower at low moisture contents, and decreased markedly when the temperature was reduced from 10 to 5°C though less so than from 15 to 10°C.
