Bangladesh Agricultural Research Centre, BangladeshTitle: Determination of Pre-Harvest Interval for Lambda-Cyhalothrin, Deltramethrin, Cypermethrin and Fanvalerate in Conventional Vegetables of Bangladesh
Abstract
The study was conducted to determine the per harvest interval (PHI) for lambda-cyhalothrin in eggplant, deltamethrin in hyacinth bean, cypermethrin in cauliflower and for fanvalerate in cauliflower and hyacinth bean depending on Maximum Residue Limit (MRL) Set by European Union. Five supervised field trials were conducted and sprayed on vegetables with the recommended dose at the rate of 1 ml/L of water of lambda-cyhalothrin, deltamethrin, cypermethrin and fanvalerate. Samples were collected at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11days after spray (DAS). Samples were analyzed using Gas Chromatograph with Electron Captured Detector at Pesticide Analytical Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute. The quantities of pesticides were above MRL up to 4 DAS for cypermethrin in cauliflower, 7 DAS for lambda-cyhalothrin in eggplant and deltamethrin in hyacinth bean; No residue was detected at 8 DAS in cauliflower for cypermethrin, 10 DAS in eggplant for lambda-cyhalothrin and in hyacinth bean for deltamethrin. In case of fanvalerate, the pesticide quantities were above EU-MRLs at 8 DAS in hyacinth bean; 9 DAS in cauliflower.The PHI was determined at 5 DAS for cypermethrin in cauliflower, 8 DAS for lambda-cyhalothrin in eggplant and for deltamethrin in hyacinth bean. But for fanvalerate the PHI was 9 DAS in hyacinth bean and 10 DAS in cauliflower. Farmers are advised to maintain aforesaid PHI to ensure their crops are safe for consumption.
