Abstract

Abstract The permethrin deposits on brussels sprout leaves from an emulsifiable concentrate (EC) and ultra‐low‐volume (ULV) formulation applied as monosized droplets were evaluated by bioassay before and after simulated rainfall using Plutella xylostella larvae. No significant reduction of permethrin deposits from ULV formulation applied with 80 μm droplets was observed after 30 and 60 min of continuous rainfall (50 mm/h). However, the rain significantly reduced the deposits from the EC formulation. Using both formulations, similar results were observed at 135 μm droplets after 30 min of rain. The results indicated that the rainfastness of permethrin could be improved by using the ULV formulation.
