Abstract

The persistence of soil-surface applied ethyl N,N-di-n-propylthiolcarbamate [EPTC] was studied at air velocities of ⅓ to 4 mph in special air-flow equipment. Persistence was inversely related to velocity though the effect was quantitatively changed by soil composition and the materials used in formulating the EPTC spray.
