Dissipation of fenitrothion and esfenvalerate in wheat grains, bran and flour

Chemical insecticides are commonly used to control insect pests in stored wheat. However, the presence of insecticide residues in food may endanger consumers. We studied the degradation and persistence of two insecticides, fenitrothion and esfenvalerate, in wheat grain, bran, and flour. The applicat...
