Loss of fenitrothion on grains in storage

Abstract: Loss of fenitrothion from post-harvest application to wheat, oats, paddy rice and sorghum followed a second-order rate process, with rate of loss being proportional, at a fixed temperature, to the amount of fenitrothion and the activity of water, which was obtained from the equilibrium partial pressure of water vapour. The effect of temperature on loss was of the form of the Arrhenius equation. A chart relating halflife to temperature and relative humidity is presented in a form suitable for field use, and a m… Show more

“…These field trials were characterised by large seasonal changes in grain temperature, although grain moisture was stable. A number of protectants break down faster at higher temperature 14–17. Based on the current study, spinosad has a half‐life of 1 year at 30 °C and 55 and 70% RH.…”

“…Residue levels declined during storage, but there was no effect of relative humidity on the rate of residue breakdown. In this respect, spinosad differs from a number of other protectants, especially organophosphorus compounds, for which residue breakdown increases with increasing moisture 14–17. Spinosad residues were estimated to have declined by 30% during 9 months of storage.…”
