Rapid translocation of phenamiphos continued up to 30 days in okra, 45 days in cowpea and 60 days in pea. The residues in both root and shoot persisted as long as the chemical persisted in soil. Persistence in colder season was longer than warmer months. Residues in green pods of cowpea were below MRL while ingreen beans of pea and okra fruits, the levels were slightly higher than MRL.
