Abstract
Phoxlm (phenylglyoxylonltrile oxlme O,0-diethylphosphorothloate; volaton) is an organophosphorus insecticide with a broad spectrum of effectiveness as a contact and stomach poison (~K&RRIS 1970, HARRIS & SVEC 1970, JUDA & McE~ZN 1970, HOH~F/~ 1975). It Ims a short residual life in soil (HARRIS 1970, DRAGh~ 197V) and on forage corn and ~ass plants (BOWMAN & LEUCK 1971). Phoxim is widely used in Egypt to oontrol several vegetable crop pests. The ~9urpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of heat and light on the stability of this compound. Also, the decline of the lusecticide residue on and in treated tomato plants was investigated to determine the span of time v~Ich should lapse between spraylng and safe marketing of treated plants under local environmental couditlons.
