Abstract

S-propyl-1-C14-N,N-ethyl, n-butylthiolcarbamate (PEBC-C14) residue was generally higher in the roots than in the corresponding above-ground portions, and also greater in plants receiving a higher rate of treatment The concentration decreased as a function of time after treatment. The average values of PEBC residue in the fresh foliage, during the first two weeks after receiving a lay-by treatment at blooming stage, were 0.098, 0.465 and 0.860 ppm for 1, 4 and 8 lb/A rates respectively. No PEBC residue was found in fruits from plants receiving any rate of treatment at blooming stage. A small amount of the residue was found in fruits from plants treated at early fruiting stage and this decreased rapidly to zero level after four or five weeks.

The metabolic breakdown of PEBC in the tomato foliage and fruits is a first-order process. The rate constant for PEBC breakdown seemed to depend upon the tissue as well as the stage of growth.
