Abstract
In the present study dissipation and residue dynamics of tebuconazole in peanut plant and soil and final residue in peanut plant kernel and soil were carried out Tebuconazole was applied at recommended dose 1875 g a i ha−1 and double recommended dose to cropped plots following two foliar applications at an interval of ~15 days between 40 and 60 days after sowing of peanut for two consecutive years The dissipation experiments showed faster degradation of tebuconazole in plant halflives 32–55 days degradation rate constant 01267–02142 day−1 than soil halflives 96–125 days degradation rate constant 00553–00725 day−1 in both the season At harvest soil plant and peanut kernel samples were found to contain no residues of tebuconazole irrespective of doses and season indicating tebuconazole is safe from the human and environmental contamination point of viewThe author is thankful to the Director ICARDirectorate of Groundnut research DGR Junagadh for providing all the necessary support and also to Dr K K Pal Principal Scientist Microbiology section of ICARDGR for providing HPLC facility for analysing the pesticide
