The fate of benfuracarb was studied under field conditions in brinjal fruits and soil following foliar spray application at 0.25 and 0.50 microg g(-1) by HPLC. At 0.25 microg g(-1), benfuracarb persisted up to 7 days both in soil and brinjal but at 0.50 microg g(-1), benfuracarb residues persisted up to 10 and 12 days in soil and brinjal fruits, respectively. The persistence of benfuracarb resi...
