    Persistence and metabolism of phorate in rice plants and in different soil types of Kerala and its effect on non target organisms
    (Division of Agricultural Entomology, College of Agriculture, Vellayani, 1987) Naseema Beevi, S; KAU; Visalakshi, A
    The uptake, persistence and metabolism of phorate in rice plants and in different types of soil, viz., alluvial, sandy and lateritic loam when applied at 3 doses and 3 growth stages of the crop were studied by conducting field experiments. In these studies, the insecticides was applied as granules at 3 doses of 1.0, 1.25 and 1.5 kg ai/ha at 20, 40 and 60 days after planting. The residues were estimated colorimetrically and by bioassay. The metabolites in plants and soil were separated by T.L.C and further estimated colorimetrically at intervals of 2,7 and 14 days after application. The ultimate residues of the insecticide in grain and straw also were determined.
