Persistence of mancozeb and propineb was studied under laboratory condition in four types of soil following treatment at 5 mg kg−1 level. The dissipation of propineb (DT50 5.9–6.3 d) was faster than mancozeb (DT50 7.6–9.2 d). Among soils, the dissipation was faster in sandy loam (DT50 5.9 and 7.6 d) followed by sandy clay (DT50 6.3 and 8.4 d), clay (DT50 6.3 and 8.8 d) and loamy sand (DT50 6.1 and 9.2 d).
