Effect of different saline, alkaline salts, fertilizers, and surfactants on the movement of some phosphorus-containing pesticides in soils.

The influence of organic matter, calcium carbonate, flyash, saline and alkaline salts, inorganic fertilizers, surfactants, and exchangeable ions on the mobility of different phosphorus pesticides has been studied using soil thin-layer chromatographic techniques. The variations in Rf, RB, and RM values of DDVP, diazinon, Ekatin, Folithion, malathion, metasystox, parathion methyl, and Rogor under different treatments is reported and explained on the basis of adsorption and leachability.
