Pesticide Residues in Immature Soybeans of Argentina Croplands

Abstract

Residue levels of endosulfa¡, endosulfan sulphate, glyphosate, and aminomethylphosphonate (AMPA) in green turgescent immature seeds of glyphosate-tolerant and non-tolerant soy beans were studied in Argentina. To establish the incidence of pesticides spraying, one control and two plots that varied in glyphosate and endosulfan treatment in two differents fields, located in Entre Rios province (Argentine) were studied Endosulfan, glyphosate and AMPA are present in inmadure soybean and analysis revealed that the concentration of endosulfan residues were similar between soy varieties, but statistical differences were observe between the two treatment.
