Abstract
⺠The acute toxicity of malathion to earthworm and honeybee was enantioselective. ⺠The R-(+)-enantiomer exhibited 65- and 17-times greater acute toxicity than the S-(â)-enantiomer for earthworms and bees, respectively. ⺠The inactive S-enantiomer degraded faster than the active R-enantiomer in chinese cabbage and rape. ⺠The preferential degradation of the R-enantiomer was found in sugarbeet. ⺠Long persistence of malathion in wheat was found.
