Frontiers | Persistence and Exposure Assessment of Insecticide Indoxacarb Residues in Vegetables
Indoxacarb, a promising new generation insecticide, is gaining popularity among vegetable growers in West Bengal, India, for controlling a large number of insects. However, it may simultaneously also increase the risk of contamination in the edible portions of the vegetables. The present study was planned to analyse the persistence behaviour of indoxacarb in cabbages, tomatoes and soil. Moreover, indoxacarb residue contents were estimated to assess both the dietary and soil ecological risks associated with the application of this particular insecticide. The location of the study was important ...
