Abstract
Field trials were carried out to evaluate whether folpet sprayed on grapevi nes penetrated the epicuticular wax and cell walls of grapes. Folpet showed poor penetration into the epicuticular wax; it was found almost totally on the surface. Despite its low solubility in water, perhaps due to the prese nce of adjuvants, its residues showed such a high resistance to washing tha t the action of rain was negligible in decreasing residues.
