A field experiment was conducted with fenvalerate and monocrotophos in okra to determine safe waiting periods for consumption of fruit under West Bengal agroclimatic condition. The dissipation of both the insecticides followed a first order kinetics and half life values ranged from 1.1. - 3.0 days. The waiting periods for fenvalerate and monocrotophos in fruit ranged from 0 - 2.8 and 4.7 - 6.3 days, respectively.
