| Monocrotophos | Monocrotophos | Not available | Not available | New studies were carried out on the metabolism of monocrotophos in plants and its degradation in soil. The degradation products previously found were O‐desmethylmonocrotophos, dimethyl phosphate and N‐hydroxymethylmonocrotophos. Maize grains and fodder were analysed for trimethyl phosphate at various intervals after treatment but residues of this compound were not detectable. Residues of Nhydroxymethyl‐monocrotophos, which occurs as a glycoside in crops, were determined in maize and sugar cane. Residues in the edible parts of crops were not detectable but were present in foliage and fodder (FAO, 1991).e |

Paraoxon was not detected in the grain and 4‐nitrophenol comprised 7.4% of the 14C. Parathion, paraoxon and 4‐nitrophenol accounted for 37%, 1.2% and 13% of the 14C in the wheat straw, respectively. In the straw and grain 72% and 82%, respectively, of the 14C was extractable with aqueous methanol (JMPR, 1995).d |
