Decay Rates of Fenthion and Its Derivatives in Soil Samples - Bok av Enoch Adranyi - Häftad
Quelea control operations in Africa normally have severe effects on non-target bird species and the environment. Aerial applications of pesticides create a high off-target drift potential, which results in unreliable effectiveness and could cause contamination over large areas. Fenthion pesticide (Queletox) was aerially applied in 2004 in Sebalola, Botswana. As part of an Environmental Impact Assessment of this operation, pre-spray soil samples and post-spray soil samples were collected, air-dried,..
