Abstract
A study of degradation rate of various insecticides was conducted. Bifenthrin (soil treatment) showed the
highest concentration of residue left in the soil after 36 months compared to fipronil and imidacloprid. It was
supported by the bioassays where results showed that bioavailability of insecticides in soil was the greatest in bifenthrin, followed by fipronil and imidacloprid. For 12 months of treatment, chlorantraniliprole showed higher
concentration of residue left in the soil compared to chlorpyrifos.
