Uptake of carbofuran-14C by rice plants after root zone application as a controlled release formulation.
Chemosphere 16, 1273-1279 (1987)
Uptake of Carbofuran-14C by rice plants after root zone application of a EVA based controlled release formulation and of Furadan as a conventional control was investigated under field conditions. Using 3.6-3.9 kg a.i./ha, 14C-concentrations in grain (1.3-1.8 mg/kg) and straw (15.9-16.1 mg/kg) were in the same range for both formulations, while contamination of paddy water and soil (at μg/kg level) has been 30-40% lower in plots treated with EVA formulation than with Furadan. Besides slowing down the release of a.i., EVA matrix also prevents an early hydrolysis of incorporated Carbofuran to Carbofuranphenol and keeps therefore its insecticidal efficacy.
