Terbufos residues in wheat and barley.
A granular formulation of terbufos (Counter 15G) was added in-furrow at time of planting of wheat and barley. Foliage collected at several times was analyzed for total terbufos residues as terbufoxon sulfone. Maximum residues from application of 1.5 and 3.0 kg/ha were 7.4 and 10.6 ppm, respectively, in wheat foliage samples collected 10 days postseeding. Wheat foliage collected at 53 days postseeding had residues averaging 0.32 and 0.58 ppm from the 1.5 and 3.0 kg/ha applications, respectively. In 1985 residues in barley were consistently less than in wheat in 1985 with 4.4 and 7.0 ppm detected in foliage collected 10 days post application from the 1.5 and 3.0 kg/ha applications, respectively and 0.21 and 0.34 ppm detected at 53 days. Grain samples had 0.01 ppm or less residue at harvest. Straw samples had up to 0.75 ppm total terbufos residues at harvest.
