Popis: Dichlorvos sprayed on wheat at 15 ppm resulted in deposits ranging from 2.4 to 6.0 ppm immediately after treatment. Residues decreased to 0.5 ppm or less during 6 weeks of storage in 3.5-m3 bins. Temperature of the grain was an important factor affecting residue-degradation rate. There was little or no loss of residues from wheat stored for 3 months at -18°C. The residues on wheat stored at 27°C for 1 week was about equal to that stored in bins at 18 to 12.7°C for 5-6 weeks. Residues on the milling fractions were greater on the bran and shorts than on the flour. The treatment did not adversely affect patent flour or bread baked from the patent flour.
