The degradation of [carbonyl - 14C] - cis, trans-permethrin was studied in Dubbs fine sandy loam soil incubated at 10, 25, and 40°C from 0 to 64 days. The most rapid degradation of permethrin to [carbonyl - 14C] - cis,-trans -3- (2,2-dichloroethenyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid (DCVA) and ultimately 14CO2 occurred at 25°C. Rapid degradation to DCVA also occurred at 40°C, however, further degradation of DCVA to 14CO2 was reduced. Permethrin degradation to 14CO2 was slowest at 10°C. The de gradation rate of trans-permethrin was greater than the cis-permethrin at all temperatures tested. The halflives of cis-and trans-permethrin were 55 and 14 days at 10°C, 12 and 5 days at 25°C, and 27 and 4 days at 40°C, respectively. Compounds identified from treated soil were the original [carbonyl - 14C] -cis, trans-permethrin and the major degradation products cis-, and trans-DCVA.
