Abstract

The treatment of stored wheat, barley and sorghum with 10, 20 and 30 ppm lindane resulted the deposits range between 5.2 to 9.5, 12.5 to 16.4 and 24.5 to 27.6 ppm respectively. The residues from the three respective dosages persisted for 45, 90 and 90 days in wheat; 75,90 and 100 days in barley; 60, 90 and 100 days in sorghum. There was slightly higher dissipation of lindane residues from lower treatment dosages than the higher treatment dosages and as well from wheat than other cereals. The residues reached below tbe tolerance limit of 3 ppm in 30, 45 and 45 days from 10 ppm dosage; 45, 45 and 45 days from 20 ppm dosage and 75, 90 and 90 days from 30 ppm dosage in case of stored wheat, barley and sorghum respectively
