Effect of temperature on the water solubility of insecticides

Abstract

Water solubilities for 30 insecticides were determined at 10, 20, and 30°C. There was a positive correlation between solubility and temperature for all insecticides with the exception of diazinon and chlorfenvinphos. The magnitude of the effect generally appeared larger for solids than for liquids, and within the solids group, tended to increase with increasing molecular weight of the compound.
