Abstract:
Two rainfall simulations of 30 mm h(-1), with 48-h interval between two simulations, were performed on rice lysimeters at 24, 48, and 72 h after being sprayed with tricyclazole. In the first simulated rainfall, wash-off concentration of tricyclazole was significant irrespective of the interval between the spray time and the rainfall simulation. And from 20.5% to 24.2% of tricyclazole deposited on leaves was removed from the rice foliage. In the second simulated rainfall, concentration of tricyclazole in wash-off water was significantly lower and less than 3.6% of the deposited tricyclazole was lost.
