Abstract
Aldrin, dieldrin, and endrin were applied as emulsions to alfalfa and to an alfalfa-grass mixture at rates of 2 or 4 ounces per acre of active ingredients in 1956 and 1957. Samples of forage for residue analysis were taken at varying intervals up to 28 days. Some of the samples were analyzed fresh, others were cut and air-dried 3 days while still others were cut, air-dried 3 days and ovendried for 24 hours more. The persistence of the insecticides was as follows: dieldrin > endrin > aldrin. The aldrin samples were not analyzed for dieldrin.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
