Dissipation ok quinalphos and monocrotophos residues in cardamom capsules

The paper describes the results of a field experiment conducted in the Cardamom Research Station, Pampadumpara, to study the dissipation of two insecticides used for controlling cardamom thrips and to fix their waiting periods. The results showed that the residues of quinalphos reached below the tolerance limit of 0.25 ppm within 23 to 24 days in fresh cardamom and within 20 to 21 days in cured cardamom. The corresponding periods for monocrotophos did not differ between fresh and cured cardamom (22 to 23 days) because of the systemic nature of the residues.
