The same pathway occurs, at least in part, in all organisms tested. 
The relative amounts of the metabolites were dependent on the experimental 
organism and the administered compound. In hen eggs injected with bidrin, 
all products except the N-methyl-N-hydroxy methylamide of bidrin were 
detected (984). 
In moist soil, bidrin leaches readily and breaks down rapidly (307). 
One week after planting of seeds treated with P3*-azodrin, 50% of the 
azodrin was still present. Over a period of 21 days, orthophosphate, 
dimethyl phosphate, O-demethyl azodrin, and N-hydroxymethyl azodrin 
were detected. An unidentified compound was observed and some of the 
label was unextractable. The loss of azodrin from cotton leaves, 
following foliar application, was for the most part probably the result 
of volatilization. The same metabolites were detected as from the seed 
treatment experiments except that an additional unidentified compound 
was observed (876).
