Studies on dissipation rate of new generation pesticides with reference to changing MRL

 

Name of PI with associates

Dr. Kaushik Banerjee, Sr. Scientist (Agricultural Chemistry)

Objectives:

Duration:

April 2008 to March 2014

Highlights:

Persistence and dissipation of the residues of new generation pesticides will be explored. Residues will be monitored in grapes on a regular basis at different time intervals after final spraying till harvest. Dissipation rate kinetics will be studied to estimate half-life and pre-harvest interval (PHI) of pesticides in grapes on the basis of latest and minimum MRL available at international level. In case of older pesticides, PHI will be re-determined by conducting dissipation studies with regards to new MRL.
