Biodegradation of Agricultural Fungicides

Interactions Between Pesticides and Their Major Degradation Products

“…Pre treatment of soils with another potential metabolite, benzimidazole, however, resulted in only a slight reduction in the parent compound's persistence. Benz imidazole rings are generally less susceptible to microbial degradation (17), and the benz imidazole-induced nonenhanced degradation of carbendazim (12) is not clearly understood.…”
