Persistence of carbaryl was studied in two soils of Rajasthan viz. Jaipur sandy soil and Banswara black cotton soil fortified at 17.24 μg/g and 34.48 μg/g level, moistened at field capacity and kept at room temperature (35±5°C). The persistence of carbaryl was more in Banswara black cotton soil than in Jaipur sandy soil. The half-life varied from 10 to 10.81 days in Jaipur sandy soil and 14 to 15.75 days in Banswara black cotton soil. The increase in the rate of application slightly reduced the rate of dissipation of carbaryl in both the soils.
