Effect of Different Salt Leachates on the movement of some Carbamoyl Groups Containing Pesticides in Soils using Thin-Layer Chromatography

Abstract

The influence of pH, leachates of alkaline and saline salts, inorganic fertilizers and surfactants on the mobility of five carbamoyl group containing pesticides, viz. aldicarb, bavistin, carbofuran, dimecron and oxamyl has been studied using soil thin layer chromatographic technique. The variation in the movement of pesticides under different solvent amendments expressed in terms of Rf, RB and RM values and explained on the basis of adsorption and leachability.
