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:
Monitoring of pesticide residues in grapes at different time intervals from the time of final application till harvest
To prescribe safe waiting period for different pesticides in grapes
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.
