Study of carbendazin residue accumulation on greenhouse and field-grown strawberries, after successive treatments with benomyl.
Benomyl, a systemic fungicide used in preharvest treatments to prevent Botrytis and other fungal diseases, metabolizes to carbendazim (MBC). A study was undertaken to determine if the total residues of MBC of greenhouse and field-grown Douglas strawberries accumulate in fruits after successive fortnightly treatments with a commercial preparation of benomyl. Statistical analysis of the data obtained indicates that residues of MBC do not accumulate in fruits; on the contrary, they decrease over time.
