Abstract

The degradation of α and β isomers of endosulphan and endosulphan sulphate in four sterilized and non sterilized Indian soils under laboratory conditions was studied. Degradation was found to be more in non-sterilized as compared to the sterilized soil. The half life of α-endosulphan, β-endosulphan and endosulphan sulphate was found to be 136.8, 273 and 301 days in sterilized Alfisol and 55, 256 and 277 days in non-sterilized Alfisol, respectively. α-Endosulphan degraded more readily than β-endosulphan and endosulphan sulphate under both sterilized and non-sterilized soil conditions.
