Aldicarb 10G [2-methyl-2-(methylthio) propionaldehyde 0 (methyl-carbamoyl) oxime] was applied to 4, 8, and 12-week old potted chrysanthemums (Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat) by applying granules directly to the soil, and by broadcasting granules over wet and dry foliage. Residues in upper and lower foliage, buds and flowers were measured at intervals following treatment. The results showed that residues in mature plants may not reach levels toxic to certain insect and mite pests regardless of application method; residues in upper leaves were highest, regardless of application method; and application to wet foliage resulted in highest residues initially, but which dissipated rapidly.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
