Abstract

Two sprays of emamectin benzoate 1.9 EC and 5 SG at 7.75 and 22 g a.i. ha−1 were given to chickpea along with untreated check. Samples of chickpea pod and soil were collected at harvest time for residue analysis. The results revealed that the harvest time residues of emamectin benzoate 1.9 EC and 5 SG at 7.75 and 22 g a.i. ha−1 were below detectable level in chickpea pod and soil samples. The mean recovery of EB residues extracted by QuEChERS method was 85.66 per cent for pod samples and 82.50 per cent for soil samples.
