Application of trifluralin @ 1 and 2 kg ai ha−1 before sowing in mungbean resulted in residues of 0.014 and 0.028 μg g−1 at 45 days after treatment (DAT) in leaves at low and high doses, respectively. No residues were detected in leaves at pod initiation stage and at harvest in any of the doses. Straw contained residues in quite small amounts (0.003–0.004 μg g−1). In grains, residues were detected at high dose only, which were well below the MRL value of 0.05 μg g−1. Therefore, trifluralin can be safely recommended for farmer's use in mungbean.
