Degradation of 14C-carbofuran in soil using a continuous flow system

14C-carbofuran underwent considerable mineralization (not, vert, similar30% of the applied activity) in Vertisol soil under moist and flooded conditions during 60 days incubation. Bound residues were formed under both the conditions, the extent being more in moist soils (not, vert, similar55% of the applied activity) than under flooded conditions (not, vert, similar41% of the applied activity). 3-Keto carbofuran was the only significant metabolite observed under flooded conditions.
