Application of lambda-cyhalothrin at the rate of 25 and 50 g a.i. ha−1 on chickpea twice, first at pod initiation stage of the crop and second 15 d after first application, resulted in initial deposits of 0.335 and 0.462 mg kg−1, respectively, on green pods These deposits dissipated with half-life value of 4.9 and 5.0 days. At harvest, the residues were below detectable level (<0.005 mg kg−1) in grains.
