Özet
This study investigated the dissipation kinetics of formetanate hydrochloride (FMT) in tomatoes and cucumbers under greenhouse and open-field conditions in Türkiye. Four treatments were applied to both crops: a single dose, a double dose, FMT with a spreader, and FMT with sugar. Residue analysis was conducted using a validated QuEChERS–LC-MS/MS method. In greenhouse-grown tomatoes, the initial FMT concentrations ranged from 0.38 to 0.59 mg/kg, and the half-lives ranged from 4.25 to 4.53 days. In field-grown tomatoes, the half-lives ranged from 5.33 to 8.15 days, indicating slower degradation under open-field conditions. For greenhouse-grown cucumbers, the half-lives ranged from 2.91 to 3.47 days. Residue levels in field-grown cucumbers could not be determined due to insufficient residue concentrations. The results indicated that both environmental conditions and the addition of adjuvants influenced the degradation dynamics of FMT. These findings provide important data for improving pesticide application strategies and ensuring food safety.
