“…The decline pattern of pesticides depends on many factors, including chemical and photo‐chemical degradation, cultivated species, pesticide formulation class, climatic conditions, volatilization and application mode (Kabir et al, ; Papadopoulos, Kotopoulon, Papadopoulos, & Hatziphanis, ; Sur, Pal, Banerjee, Dityachaudhury, & Bhattacharyya, ).

Therefore, a pesticide decline pattern may vary for different crops and conditions.…”
