Abstract
The loss of residual insecticide particles on absorbent mud surfaces due to the phenomenon of sorption has been well investigated from various physical, chemical and biological aspects. The present report describes an attempt to correlate the relative sorption capacities of representative Indian and African soils and a synthetic soil with the physicochemical characteristics of these soils and their surfaces. The investigation has further elucidated the mode of sorption of non-volatile residual insecticides on mud surfaces and the role of certain physicochemical factors.Entities:
