Abstract
The HGCA grant enabled completion of work carried out in 1990 and 1991 at Hampshire Grain Ltd and initially funded by several commercial companies.
There was no evidence for any residue decay of either pirimiphos-methyl or etrimfos on wheat over a storage period of 35 weeks on wheat or on barley over 30 weeks. The report stresses the need for regular calibration of application equipment and for record-taking in order to ensue compliance with the Pesticides (Maximum Residue Levels in Food) Regulations 1988.
