  • Title: Fate of benfuracarb insecticide in mollisols and brinjal crop.
    Author: Chandra R, Srivastava A, Srivastava PC.
    Journal: Bull Environ Contam Toxicol; 2009 Sep; 83(3):348-51. PubMed ID: 19333533.
    Abstract:
    The fate of benfuracarb was studied under field conditions in brinjal fruits and soil following foliar spray application at 0.25 and 0.50 microg g(-1) by HPLC. At 0.25 microg g(-1), benfuracarb persisted up to 7 days both in soil and brinjal but at 0.50 microg g(-1), benfuracarb residues persisted up to 10 and 12 days in soil and brinjal fruits, respectively. The persistence of benfuracarb residues, both in soil and brinjal, followed first-order kinetics. The half-life values of benfuracarb in soil and brinjal fruit were found to be 3.54 and 3.90 days at 0.25 microg g(-1) and 3.75 and 4.73 days at 0.50 microg g(-1), respectively.
