Dosage Studied

The risk of emamectin benzoate at the recommended dosage was negligible to humans depending on risk quotient (RQ) value, that was lower than 1 significantly. The objective of this experiment was not only to provide a simple residue analytical method to evaluate the safe application rate of Emamector Benzoate for paddy crops but also to give a suitable recommended dosage.
