Dissipation of Novaluron in Chilli and Brinjal
Piw Das, Raktim Pal and Ashim Chowdhury

Abstract: This research reports on the dissipation of novaluron [(±)-1-[3-chloro-4-(1, 1, 2-trifluoro-2-trifluoromethoxyethoxy)phenyl]-3-(2,6-difluorobenzoyl)urea] in chilli and brinjal. Dissipation and the corresponding parameters were calculated from the data obtained by analyses of the residual parent compound. Novaluron was rapidly dissipated in chilli and brinjal following first order reaction kinetics at all rates of application with half-lives of 1.80-1.95 days (for chilli) and 1.80-2.08 days (for brinjal) and the residue was found to be below detectable limit on 10th day samples. The study revealed that novaluron will not pose any residual toxicity problem.
