The Metabolism of High Concentrations of the Organophosphorus Insecticide Phorate Applied Foliarly to Selected Plant Species

Gas chromatographic and enzymatic analysis (cholinesterase-inhibition method) were used to monitor the metabolism of the organophosphorus insecticide 0,0-diethyl S-((ethylthio)methyl) phosphorodithioate (phorate) applied foliarly to three economically important plants (Homestead tomato, Wiley sorghu...

Zusammenfassung:Gas chromatographic and enzymatic analysis (cholinesterase-inhibition method) were used to monitor the metabolism of the organophosphorus insecticide 0,0-diethyl S-((ethylthio)methyl) phosphorodithioate (phorate) applied foliarly to three economically important plants (Homestead tomato, Wiley sorghum, and Honey sorghum). The resulting data provided guidelines in predicting toxicity and persistence of metabolite residues for high concentrations of insecticides employed by the military. (Author)
