Supervised residue trials have been carried out world-wide on a wide range of crops such as citrus fruits, pome fruits, stone fruits, berries, various types of vegetables, oilseeds and fodder items. In nearly all trials teflubenzuron has been used as a 15% SC formulation (150 g/l suspension concentrate). In some trials teflubenzuron formulated as an emulsion concentrate has been applied as well (25 g/l; 33.3 g/l; 100 g/l). Trials were carried out in different climatic areas, e.g. Northern and Southern Europe, Northern and Southern America, South Africa and the Far East.
Many of the field studies cover a wide range of spray regimes for such reasons as the need to obtain data on rates of decline or to examine the effects of high application rates. In most trials. the application rate was given as concentration of. active ingredient in the spray solution and as kg of active ingredient per hectare if the spray volume was known. In the few trials in which different rates were used in multiple applications the individual rates are given in the Tables.
Residues have been rounded to 2 significant figures. Where replicates of the same sample have been analysed the mean has been calculated. In most of the studies carried out in the USA, replicate samples were analysed; in these cases all the results are shown. Underlined residues are from treatments according to GAP. Double-underlined residues have been used for the estimation of Supervised Trials Median Residue (STMR) levels.
