“…During rice cultivation, fungal diseases, such as rice blast disease, have been deemed as one of the serious challenges (Skamnioti and Gurr, 2009). Owing to the broad-spectrum activity and outstanding environmental tolerability, trifloxystrobin has been marketed globally for several years, and also has been widely applied to control fungal diseases in various crops such as wheat (Kaur et al, 2012), apple (Patyal et al, 2013), grape (Jyot et al, 2010), onion (Mohapatra, 2014), and typically in rice cultivation to ensure yields (Chen et al, 2014). However, profiles of residual pattern of trifloxystrobin in environment, particularly in the rice paddy ecosystem, are poorly understood (Kaur et al, 2012;Mohapatra, 2014;Sahoo et al, 2012).…”
