Studies on leaching losses, movement and distribution of carbofuran in 3 different soil columns revealed that its leaching was more in coarse-textured laterite soil as compared to fine textured alluvial and black soils and followed the order: laterite soil > alluvial soil > black soil. Maximum amount of carbofuran was retained in the upper (0–10 cm) layer of soil columns particularly in black and alluvial soils. In leterite soils, the movement occurred upto 15 centimeter.
