Residues resulting from supervised trials

Thiram was determined by CS2 evolution methods or by HPLC, and in some trials by both methods. Residues are reported in the Tables as thiram irrespective of the method of analysis. The molecular weight factor CS2 x 1.58, was used to calculate the thiram residues if residues were quoted in the trial report as CS2.

Where residues were not detected they are recorded in the Tables as below the limit of determination (LOD), e.g. <0.05 mg/kg. Residues, application rates and spray concentrations have generally been rounded to 2 significant figures or, for residues near the LOD, to 1 significant figure. Residues in control samples are recorded only when they exceeded the LOD: this occurred in samples from 2 apple trials, 4 grape trials and 2 spinach trials analysed by the CS2 evolution method, and in one apple and one grape sample analysed by the HPLC method.

Most of the trials were fully reported as well as being summarized. Some, especially older ones, were reported as detailed summaries rather than in full reports.

In some trials on apples, peaches, plums, cherries, strawberries and tomatoes other dithiocarbamates had been used on the crop during the growing season. Samples from such trials were considered valid for estimating thiram residue levels only if they had been analysed specifically for thiram by an HPLC method.

Thiram trials on apples were available from a number of European countries. Knapsacks were used for application in the Belgian trials of 1991-1993, where plot sizes were usually 8 or 16 trees, and in the French trial on plots of 6 trees. Thiram was applied by a tractor-mounted sprayer or axial fan blower in the German trials of 1989, and with a motorised knapsack and a wheelbarrow-mounted sprayer in the Italian trials where plot sizes were 6-12 trees.

Thiram was applied by knapsack sprayer in most of the trials on stone fruit and strawberries. Plot sizes for tree crops were 4-8 trees. Plot sizes in the strawberry trials ranged from 8 m of row to 100 m2.

In a series of trials on grapes in France in 1992 thiram was applied with a back-pack air-blast sprayer. In each trial there were two plots whose ranged from 186-750 m2. The plots were large enough to provide sufficient grapes for processing studies (Table 33). In a grape trial in France in 1991 thiram was applied with a Knapsack atomizer to plots of 30 or 60 plants. Field samples were taken from each of 3 sub-plots.

Thiram residues in apples from 5 trials in The Netherlands in 1988 seem low by comparison with residues from other trials. Many of the residues were below the LOD (0.1 mg/kg). Details of sample storage conditions (temperature, duration, chopped or whole fruit) were not immediately available to confirm that residues had not disappeared during storage.

German trials on apples from 1971 to 1973 were reported on detailed summary sheets.

Table 26. Residues of thiram (expressed as thiram) in apples from foliar application of thiram in supervised trials in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands and Poland. Underlined residues are from treatments according to GAP and are valid for estimation of maximum residue levels.
