Abstract

The persistence of pesticides in soil is a summation of all the reactions,  movements, and degradations affecting these chemicals. Marked differences  in persistence are the rule. For example, organophosphate insecticides may  last only a few days in soil; the most widely used herbicide, 2,4-D, persists  in soil for only two to four weeks; chlorinated hydrocarbons may persist  from three to fifteen years or longer. The persistence time of hundreds of  other pesticides, are between the extremes cited. The majority of pesticides  degrade rapidly enough to prevent buildup in soil. Those that do not do so  have potential for environmental damage. In the article authors have  studied and discussed the pesticide persistence being directly affected by  physical characteristics of soil.
