Dissipation study and persistence of acephate in green chilli fruits

Anusha SB, Harischandra Naik R, Ghante VN and M Bheemanna

The dissipation patterns of acephate in green chilli fruits were studied after application of acephate at fruiting stage at recommended doses (RD) and double the recommended doses (DRD). Acephate was applied at the rate of 337.5 g a.i/ha and 675 g a.i/ha on chilli fruits and the fruit samples were collected at the 0, 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 10th, 15th, 21st, 25th, and 30th day after spray. The initial deposits of acephate in chilli fruits from the two treatments were leads to 5.128 and 7.249 mg/kg with half life of 4.02 and 5.84 days at recommended and double the recommended dose, respectively. Based on the persistence studied waiting period of 20.12 and 34.08 days is suggested for acephate on chilli from consumer safety point of view.
