Abstract Results obtained in the present invesUgatlQ1l will be discussed from the followirlg view po1n.ts; adsorption, d01Ulwardmoveme.ut,1eachabll1t7, persistence an.d metabolism of D1methoate and Fenvalerate pesticides as well as some factors influencing their behaviour in differen.t sol1 t7pes 5.1. Adsorption. of Dimethoate an.d Fenva1erate on. cla7 minerals and soils. 5.1.1. AdsorptiQll mechanismof D1methoate and Fenva1erete: With regard to the effect of time on the adsorptiCll1 of Dimethoate 011the different adsorbents IUlder investigation, results show that increas1n.g the time of contact between Dimeth08te in solutiQll an.d the adsorbent was followed by the 1n.crease of the amount adsorbed of Dimeth08te IUlU1 it reached a maximumatter which it in.4icated an equilibrium; the t1llle required to reach equi1ibr~UIDcQllditiQll was, 25, 25, 20, 15 an.44 III1ntJtestor bentOll1te. attapulg1te, ca1careOll8 8011. sandy clay lo~ soil and kaolinite respectively. Concerning the adsorption mechanismof Fenvalerate on different adsorbents under investigation; it reached its equilibrium conditions in few seconds after contact between Fenvalerate and different adsorbents. 5·1.2. Effect of Dilllethoate and Fenvalerate concentrations on the rates of their adsorption on different adsorbents : The amounts of Dimethoate and Fenvalerate adsorbed per gram adsorbent; i.e.; X/mwas increased by increasing the concentration until it reached maximum.Langmuir equation was used to represent the adsorption of Dimethoate and Fenvalerate, a linear isotherms were obtained except in case of adsorption of Fenvalerate on attapulgUe SlId sandy c lay loam soil. Freundlich equatiOll fitted the adsorption of Dimethoate and Fenvalerate on all the adsorbants used, i.e., bantonite, kaolinite, attapulgite, sandy clay loam soil and calcareous soil, except in case of high concentratiQlls of Fenvalerate on attapulBite (more than 0.004 molar). 5.1.3. Effect of adsorbent types on adsorption of Dimet~te and Penyalerate. !rhe effect of adsorbent types on the adsorptiOll of the two pesticides showed that the amount of adsorbed D1methoatewas as follows: :Bentonite> calcareous soil> sendy clay loam soil > attapulgite> Kaol1.nite; while for Penvslerate it w••s: attapulgih > Kaol1.nite> bentonite> calcareous soil > sandy clay loam soil’ 5.2. Effect of somefactors on the downwardmovement and leachi.B8 of D1methate and J.i’envslerate 1.n soils : 5.2.1. Dillletho-i1te: 5.2.1.1. Effec; at soil tYpe on Dimethoate mobility- !rhe higher binding of Dimethoate was recorded with sandy clay loam soil followed by calcareous soil. !rhe rate at Dimethoate detected on soil was increased with depth. !rhe amounts of remained D1methoate in the third layer (10-15 cm) of both sandy clay loam and calcareous sOils>seCOAdlayer (5-10 em» top layer (0-5 cm)’ the obtai.lledresults revealed that the greatest downward movement of Dimethoete occurred with calcareous soil followed by sandy clay loam soil. 5.2.1.2. Effect of Dimethoate concentration on the i.Ilsecticidemobility. The higher the concentration of Dimethoate used, the higher the allloWltsremsined on soil surface and the higher the downward movement and vice versa. The higher leachability of Dimethoate occurred with the lowest concentration used. 5.2.1.3. ~ffect of water volume on Dimethoate mobility: The higher the volume of water used.” i:he lower the binding on soil surface occurred, and the higher the amoWlts of Dimethoate removed downward through soil columns. The higher the volume of water added.1the higher the leaohability rate obtai.lled. 5.2.2. Fenvalerate: 5.2.2.1. Effect of soil type on Fenvalerate mobility: With Fenvalerate, it was completely adsorbed on the top layer of both so~ clay loam and calcareous sol1s (100%), ~ffect of Fenvalerate concentration on the insecticide mobility. In the three used concen:trraions(0.1, 0.2 and 0.3g), the binding on the surface of the top layer (0-5 Col) amounted 100%. 5.2.2.3. Effect of water volume on Fenvalerste mobilityl i Increasing the amount of leaching water hed no influence on the downward movement of Fenvalerate in soil columns, since 100% of the Fenvalerate remained on the surface of the top layer. 5.3. Persistence of Dimethoate and Fenvalerate in sandy clay loam and calcareous soils under laboratory condi tions. Concerning the persistence of Dimethoate in the two tested soils, results indicated thst degradation in calcareous so11> sandy clay loam so11. The percentage of recovered Dimethoate amounted 60.22 and 38.71% for sandy clay loam and calcareous soils respectively after 120 days. The rate of fenvalerate degradation was higher in calcareous soil tbaa in sandy clay loam soil. IJ1creasing the time of exposure after treatment increased the rete of Fenvalerate degradation· 5.4.Degradatian products of Dimethoate and Fenvalerate in soils. 5.4.1.
