This study investigated the Persistence of Deltamethrin on Apple,
Grape, Tomato and Cucumber. as follows:The grape and apple trees
were sprayed with Deltamethrin at rate 250 Cm3/ha, while
Cucumber and tomato were sprayed with Deltamethrin at rate
150
cm3/ha.
The half-life of Deltamethrin was 5.36, 5.78, 2.32, 2.11
days on grape, apple, tomato and cucumber respectively. The
calculated safety periods of Deltamethrin were 7, 4, 0, 3 days for
grape, apple, cucumber and tomato respectively. Although the
pesticide container label, states that crops can be consumed
immediately after spraying.
A Study was carried out to evaluate the impact of some insecticide.
The results showed that no effects on growth of the studied fungi
were observation when Deltamethrin and Chlorpyrifos were used by
the low concentration.
Study was conducted at Hama on summer ١٩٩٨ to determine the
Persistence of two pesticides, the Organophosphorus Dimethoate, and the
