R. Boccelli et al., RESIDUES OF ESFENVALERATE IN IRRIGATION WATER, STUBBLE, HUSKED AND UNHUSKED RICE SAMPLES OF A PADDY-FIELD, Toxicological and environmental chemistry, 37(3-4), 1993, pp. 185-189
Esfenvalerate insecticide was tested to study its behaviour in a rice
paddy-field. Samples of irrigation water, husked and unhusked rice, st
ubble and suspended matter collected on different days after applicati
on, were analysed by GLC. Esfenvalerate residues were detectable only
in the suspended matter samples collected one hour after application.
Esfenvalerate residues were not detectable in both the husked and unhu
sked rice and in the stubble.
