| Abstract: | Chlozolinate (Serinal) is a dicarboximide fungicide used in southern European countries principally on grapes. Maximum residue levels have not yet been set by FAO/WHO and are under evaluation in the EU. Field trials have been carried out in Greece on two varieties of table grapes (Cardinal and Victoria) during two consecutive years to assess residues remaining after application according to good agricultural practice. Analysis using a multiresidue method with gas chromatography (ECD) showed that the parent compound decays with a first-order rate constant of 0.057 +/- 0.011 day(-)(1) and that residues had fallen below the proposed MRL of 5 mg/kg in all samples by 21 days postapplication (the proposed PHI). The contribution of the main metabolite, S1, to the total residue is generally <20%. Washing removes a substantial amount (up to 80%) of chlozolinate, which appears to be nonsystemic on grapes, thus reducing real consumer exposure to this pesticide. |
