Published On: October 14, 2015 | Pages: 012 - 015

Author(s): Subbiah Seenivasan*, Kirubakaran Dhanakodi, Narayanan Nair Muraleedharan

Propargite is an acaricide extensively used in India for controlling the populations of the red spider mite (RSM) infesting tea. Field experiments were conducted at two places in Tamil Nadu (India) during the dry season to determine the residues of propargite in black tea. Residues were quantified at different harvest intervals of '0' (3 hr), 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 10th ...

Dissipation Behavior of Fenpyroximate Residues in Black Tea and Brew

10.17352/2455-815X.000002

Published On: September 18, 2015 | Pages: 003 - 006

Author(s): Subbiah Seenivasan*, Narayanan Nair Muraleedharan

Fenpyroximate is an effective acaricide on several food crops. In the present study, dissipation of residue of this acaricide in black tea, tea infusion and spent tea was studied. Analysis was carried out using high performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection. The rate of dissipation was found to vary with the nature of the substrate. In tea leaves th ...
