Abstract
By the third day following the application of the last of three sprays of the fungicides dinocap and mancozeb to greenhouse cucumber fruits, residues, on a whole-fruit basis, did not exceed the levels permitted in Canada of 0.1 μg/g and 7 μg/g, respectively. The permitted level of zineb equivalent EBDC was never exceeded following the application of a dinocap-mancozeb commercial fungicide formulation. The results support an Ontario recommendation for a 3-day waiting period between fungicide application and harvest in the case of EBDC, and argue for a reduction in the 30-day period for dinocap.Key words: Residue, dissipation, mancozeb, dinocap, cucumber, greenhouse
