Fate of Xenobiotics in Foliar Pesticide Deposits

  • Chapter
Reviews of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology

Part of the book series: Reviews of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology ((RECT,volume 114))

Abstract

The environmental fate of pesticides and other xenobiotic materials initially within pesticide deposits on foliage has received little holistic study. Spencer et al. (1973) noted that there has been extensive research on volatilization from soils, but little has been directed at residues on foliage. Although other investigators note herbicide volatilization from foliage is the primary source of residues that cause downwind damage to susceptible crops (Thompson 1983), there is still little data and theoretical development of this topic. In a recent review of photodegradation of herbicides, the subject of photodegradation occurrence in deposits on leaf surfaces is not mentioned (Marcheterre et al. 1988). A recent review of the persistence of pesticides on foliage not only summarizes the many studies that have contributed information to this area, but also stresses that most studies of pesticides on foliage are highly empirical and do not define the mechanisms of residue dissipation (Willis and McDowell 1987).
