Persistence and basipetal translocation of nematicidal activity of UC 54229, a carbofuran analog, in pea

Basipetal translocation of UC 54229 residues was evaluated in pea following foHar application at the rate of 0.5 kg a.i./ha under field conditions. The compound moved quickly into the roots and its residues persisted up to 75 days. The residues on foliage degraded rapidly and became non-detectable in 90 days. The residues in green pods, from different pickings, were less than 0.06 μg/g.
