Abstract
Two applications of spirotetramat were done to study the dissipation and persistence of spirotetramat and its four different metabolites in chilli and soil at 10 days interval. Total spirotetramat residues were estimated by LC–MS/MS instrument. The mean initial deposits of total spirotetramat after application of spirotetramat 15.31 OD @ 60 (X dose), 75 (1.25 × dose) and 120 (2 × dose) g a.i. ha−1 on green chilli were found to vary from 0.38 to 0.83 mg kg−1 during the initial year. Spirotetramat and its metabolite residues in green chilli were found to be below limit of quantification (0.01 mg kg−1) after 15 days of application. The spirotetramat cis enol (the major metabolite) was formed in both the soil and the plant. The residues of spirotetramat-monohydroxy were below LOQ irrespective of any substrate during the estimation. In soil, the total initial spirotetramat deposits for the 1st year were found 0.09 for X dose, 0.12 for 1.25 × dose and 0.20 mg kg−1 for 2 × dose. After 3 days for both X and 1.25 × doses and 5 days for 2 × dose, the total spirotetramat residues were below LOQ. The spirotetramat’s half-life values have been determined to be between 3.19 and 3.93 days and 1.00 and 1.59 days, respectively, in soil and green chilli fruits. One day waiting period is proposed for the safe consumption of green chilli when the spirotetramat was applied irrespective of the dose.
