Abstract
Indoxacarb residues were estimated by employing standardized QuEChERS technique in cabbage following three applications of AvantR 14.8 EC @ 52.2 and 104.4 g a.i. ha−1. The average recoveries of indoxacarb on cabbage for fortification levels of 0.01, 0.05 and 0.1 mg kg−1 were observed to be 83.93, 89.86 and 95.40%, respectively, with relative standard deviation of 1.21, 1.53 and 2.23. The method was also validated with respect to parameters of linearity, precision and limit of quantification (LOQ). The LOQ for cabbage was found to be 0.01 mg kg−1. The average initial deposits of indoxacarb on cabbage were observed to be 0.18 and 0.39 mg kg−1, respectively, at single and double the application rate. These indoxacarb residues dissipated below its LOQ of 0.01 mg kg−1after 7 and 10 days, respectively, at single and double dosages. Half-life of indoxacarb was observed to be 2.88 and 1.92 days, respectively, at recommended and double the recommended dosages.
