Chlordane Residues in Florida Citrus Soils
Abstract
Chlordane 10 G applied to the soil surface at 5.6, 8.4, and 11.2 kg AI/ha remained in the 0 to 2.5 cm soil horizon and reached ppb levels after approximately 1 year. Chlordane did not leach below approximately 2.5 cm nor was chlordane detected in irrigation ditch water at or above 1.0 ppb. Chlordane was not found in `Valencia' and `Hamlin' orange leaves or fruit at or above 5.0 ppb. Chlordane disappeared in a pseudo-first order fashion with a half-life of 27 to 72 days.Downloads
