JW - mfgrs generally conduct half-life and solubility test on active-ingredients, which provide the basis for quantifying the relative values for formulated products (of which there may be many).

With indoxacarb, the hydrolysis half-life in water is listed as >30 days@pH5, 38 days@pH-7 and 1 day@pH-9. Photohydrolysis half-life was 3.16 days @ pH-5. Aerobic soil degredation ranged from 4.5 - 117 days, while anaerobic soil degredation spanned from 12.8 - 402 days. Soil photolysis half-life was 139 days. Field dissipation half-life was 6-114 days. Water solubility is .2mg/l @ 25degC @ pH7.0
