Abstract

Dissipation of endosulfan residues was faster in the early and earhead stage of the crop than during the mid period of the crop. Estimation of residues by different methods showed higher degradation in case of sprays than in the dust and granular formulations. The residues of all the endosulfari formulations except 4 per cent dust were below detectable level in fodder and grains at harvest.
