Unravelling the reactivity of bifenazate in water and on vegetables: Kinetics and byproducts.

In this study, we aimed to better understand the transformation mechanisms of bifenazate, a biphenyl hydrazine derivative insecticide poorly studied up to now. For this, we compared its reactivity in the dark and under simulated solar light irradiation in different media (water, non-aqueous polar solvent, surface of apolar wax films, skin of vegetable). In air-saturated pH = 5.
