The fate of several methylcarbamate insecticides in plants has been investigated. Results demonstrate that these chemicals are often degraded with the carbamate moiety intact. Metabolic attack frequently involves oxidation or hydroxylation of a N ‐methyl group, an aromatic ring substituent, or the ring itself, with subsequent hydrolysis or conjugation of the metabolites.
