Description
Abstract:	Available data on the fate of aldicarb in soil were used to prepare a theoretical model illustrating the possible levels of aldicarb in soil following several rates and methods of application. Using this model as a basis, projections were made concerning the possible requirements and limitations of slow release formulations. Relative release rates of aldicarb from various granular formulations into water were determined by chemical means. A water immersion test was found to be a reliable method for determining the amount of aldicarb released from a granular formulation per unit of time and for investigating the effect of physical characteristics of the granular formulations on release rates. Good correlations between the release rates from granular formulations into water and soil were obtained. ...
