AI Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the behavior and breakdown of the insecticide chlorantraniliprole in tomato fruits and soil.
- Residue analysis showed that chlorantraniliprole dissipated following first order kinetics, with half-lives of 3.30 days in tomatoes and 3.66 days in soil.
- The findings indicated that, according to safety standards, tomatoes can be harvested 8 days after chlorantraniliprole application to meet maximum residue limits.
Article Abstract
The main objective of this study was to understand the residue and persistence behaviour of new insecticide chlorantraniliprole in tomato fruit and soil samples. Its residue was analyzed by HPLC and it dissipated in tomato fruit and soil following first order kinetics. The results showed half life (t(1/2)) value of 3.30 and 3.66 days for chlorantraniliprole in tomato fruit and soil, respectively. According to maximum residue limit (MRL) the pre-harvest interval (PHI) of chlorantraniliprole on tomato was 8-days after the treatment.
