Metalaxyl fungicide under trade name vacomil 35% wettable powder (WP) was applied on tomato at the recommended dosage 262.5 g a.i./ ha to study the residues and dissipation rate of tested fungicide under field condition by LCMS/MS. Also, the tested fungicide was stored according to Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) for 14 days at 54 ± 2ºC to study the effect of thermal storage on degradation of metalaxyl active ingredient and stability of their relevant impurities (2,6-dimethylaniline) beside its physical properties. Data illustrated that residues of metalaxyl reached below the maximum residue limit (MRL) of metalaxyl after 7 days from application at the recommended dosage. The half-life (t 1/2 ) for metalaxyl degradation was 1.84 days. Metalaxyl active ingredient was slightly affected with thermal storage and become conformity with FAO specifications and half-life (t 1/2 ) for metalaxyl active ingredient was 8.99 days. 2,6-dimethylaniline as relevant impurities of metalaxyl was increased by extending storage time. It became non conformity with FAO specification under thermal storage where, it was 0.024% before one day of storage and after 14 days of storage reached 0.042% recording increasing rate 75%. All physical properties tests passed successfully and became conformity with FAO specifications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
