Description Propargite, recently introduced in India, is an effective acaricide on a large number of crops most of which are consumed
by human beings directly or after processing. Therefore, it has become important to check the dissipation behavior
of propargite in edible raw commodities, processed products and in the environment. In the present study,
dissipation of residue of this acaricide in soil, apple fruit and tea (green tea leaves, manufactured tea, infusion and spent
leaves) was studied. Analysis was carried out using high performance-liquid chromatography with UV detection system.
The dissipation rate was found to vary with the nature of studied crop/sample. In soil, half-life ranged from 43 to 45
days, while in plant matrices (tea and apple) it ranged 1.66–2.61 days. The percent transfer of propargite residue from
manufactured tea to infusion was 23.60–40.00; however, 35.71–53.20% of the residues remained stuck to the spent
leaves.
