Summary

Residues of chlordane were determined in alfalfa up to one year after application of Velsicol HCS-3260 to soil at 5 and 10 lbs active ingredient per acre. The major residues were cis-, trans-,photo-cis-, and oxychlordane. The latter two accounted for a maximum of 16% and 17%, respectively, during the first four months after treatment. The identity of oxychlordane was confirmed by four different GLC columns, chemical derivatization, p-value determination, and column chromatography.
