Abstract
Multilocational field trials were conducted in grapevines at four different locations by applying hydrogen cyanamide 50% SL during 2006–2007. In order to determine the residue of hydrogen cyanamide in grape, hydrogen cyanamide 50% SL was applied to the freshly pruned grapevines at the rate of 1.20% a.i./L, 2.40% a.i./L, 4.80% a.i./L along with untreated control. No residue was detected in grape berries at the time of harvest irrespective of any locations.
