Abstract

The dissipation rate of the commercial fungicide with two active ingredients (Chlorothalonil 64% + Metalaxyl 8%) that was approved by the agriculture pesticides committee was evaluated in the cucumber fields infested with downy mildew in Egypt using HPLC analytical system. The experiment was designed in randomized block design. After spraying at the recommended rate of applications, the samples of cucumber were chosen randomly from treated and un-treated plants after the interval of zero time(2hours), 1, 3, 7,10, and 14 days. The technique was validated at different fortification levels (0.01, 0.5, and 0.1 μg mL−1). The recoveries of both fungicides Chlorothalonil and Metalaxyl were 87.6 and 95 %. The results showed that the initial residues (zero time) were 4.38and 3.21 mg/kg-1. All detected residues significantly decreased upon time elevated. The residues extracted by an optimized QuEChERS coupled with HPLC analytical system were accurate and acceptable The limit of quantitation was 0.05 for both fungicides. The dissipation curves of both Chlorothalonil and Metalaxyl followed the first-order kinetics. The half-life's (t½) values were 0.89 and 1.1days in, respectively.  Under the optimized condition, the residues of Chlorothalonil and Metalaxyl in cucumber were below the codex maximum residue limit (0.5 and 3 mg/kg-1). Consequently, the pre-harvest intervals (PHI) in cucumber were seven days for the fungicide.
