Abstract
Chemical assay results indicate that the intercalated pesticides were released in small amounts over a period of 7-8 weeks. On the other hand, adsorbed pesticides were totally leached within 24 h from montmorillonite. The diazinon and chlorpyrifos clay complexes showed 100% mortality for an extended period of 20-22 weeks against analogous conventional formulations exhibiting 100% mortality up to 4-8 weeks only. These results, which suggest prolonged bioactivity in agriculture, propose the present encapsulation technique for controlled release as a potential alternative to the well-established immobilization methods
