To fully comprehend each pesticide's behavior and interactions with soil and the environment, a thorough and nuanced analysis of each one is thought necessary. In this study, 10 randomly selected heterogeneous soil samples, each with distinct characteristics, were subjected to sorption trials as well as disintegration tests using biodegradation, hydrolysis, and photolysis. For sorption tests, the batch equilibrium approach was used, which revealed a dependence on the soils' physicochemical characteristics. Bifenthrin's distribution coefficient (Kd) varied from 7.27 to 25.89 μg·ml−1, with R2 values varying from 0.92 to 0.99. Each soil physicochemical characteristic was associated with the various sorptive outcomes, which suggested an exothermic adsorptive reaction based on the negative thermodynamic values. The hydrolysis, soil-induced biodegradation, and photolysis processes had the shortest half-lives of bifenthrin, measuring 13.5 days, 12 days, and 121.5 days, respectively. According to these findings, bifenthrin has a moderate amount of binding and stability in soil, which makes partial decomposition of parent and daughter molecules challenging. This research advances our knowledge of bifenthrin's deteriorating processes and aids in the creation of cutting-edge strategies for ecological restoration using natural processes.
