Abstract
Residue data were obtained at five intervals over a 30-day period from wheat, maize and sorghum containing eight levels of moisture, following 10 p.p.m. applications of phoxim-methyl emulsion spray. High-moisture content reduces the effectiveness and persistence of phoxim-methyl in stored grain. Degradations differed significantly (P = 0.05) at each moisture level. After 30 days of storage, 10, 3 and 22.9% of the initial residue deposit remained on the 20% moisture sorghum, wheat and maize, respectively. The highest residue deposits remained in the 6% grain moisture levels. After 30 days of storage, 71, 63 and 68% of the initial residue deposit remained on sorghum, wheat and maize, respectively
