EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY:

Twelve
potato
field
trials
were
conducted
during
2001
comparing
the
use
of
two
bifenthrin
formulations.
At
each
trial,
bifenthrin
(
2
lb/
gal
emulsifiable
concentrate
(
EC)
or
1.15%
granular
(
G))
was
applied
to
potatoes
as
one
in­
furrow
application
at
0.3
lb
ai/
A
followed
by
two
broadcast
foliar
applications
of
the
2
lb/
gal
EC
at
0.1
lb
ai/
A/
application,
for
a
total
of
0.5
lb
ai/
A/
season.
The
in­
furrow
application
was
made
prior
to
planting,
and
the
foliar
applications
were
made
late
in
the
season,
approximately
42
and
21
days
prior
to
normal
maturity.
Duplicate
control
and
treated
samples
of
potatoes
were
harvested
at
commercial
maturity
from
treatment
at
each
trial
site,
at
approximately
20­
21­
day
pre­
harvest
intervals
(
PHIs).
Samples
were
stored
frozen
for
up
to
1
month,
an
interval
supported
by
the
available
storage
stability
data.

The
gas
chromatography
(
GC)/
mass­
selective
detection
(
MSD)
method
used
to
determine
bifenthrin
residues
in/
on
potatoes
(
FMC
Corporation
Report
No.
P­
3426,)
was
adequately
validated
in
conjunction
with
the
field
trial
analyses.
Briefly,
bifenthrin
residues
are
extracted
with
acetone,
concentrated,
and
purified
by
silica
gel
solid
phase
extraction.
The
residues
were
analyzed
by
GC­
MSD.
The
validated
limit
of
quantitation
(
LOQ)
was
0.05
ppm,
and
the
limit
of
detection
(
LOD)
was
0.01
ppm.

Regardless
of
the
type
of
formulation
used
for
the
in­
furrow
application
(
G
or
EC),
bifenthrin
residues
were
<
0.05
(<
LOQ)
ppm
in/
on
all
48
samples
of
potatoes
harvested
at
~
20­
21­
day
PHIs.
The
average
and
highest
average
field
trial
(
HAFT)
residues
in/
on
potatoes
were
0.025
and
0.05
ppm,
respectively.
Residue
decline
information
could
not
be
determined
from
the
two
decline
trials
because
of
the
lack
of
residues
found
at
any
of
the
sampling
points.

COMPLIANCE:

Signed

dated
Good
Laboratory
Practice
(
GLP),

statements
were
provided.
The
study
authors
noted
numerous
minor
deviations
from
GLP
compliance
at
the
trial
site,
including
the
collection
of
weather
data
and
descriptions
of
the
field
plot.
However,
these
deviations
do
not
impact
the
validity
of
the
study.

Study
Site
Information
Potatoes
were
grown
and
maintained
at
each
trial
site
using
typical
agricultural
practices
for
the
respective
geographical
region
(
Table
B.
1.1).
Rainfall,
irrigation
data,
and
minimum
and
maximum
average
monthly
temperatures
were
reported
for
most
trial
sites,
although
several
trial
sites
just
reported
general
weather
observations.
Compared
to
10­
year
average
data,
variations
from
average
precipitation
and
air
temperature
were
reported
at
several
sites,
but
no
extreme
weather
conditions
were
noted
that
would
adversely
impact
the
field
trial
data.
Information
was
also
provided
on
maintenance
chemicals
and
other
pesticides
used
at
each
site.
However,
information
on
soil
characteristics
was
incomplete;
these
data
are
typically
required
for
applications
made
to
the
soil.

Sample
Handling
and
Preparation
Single
control
and
duplicate
treated
samples
of
potatoes
( 
5
lbs)
were
harvested
from
each
treatment
at
each
site
at
commercial
maturity.
Samples
were
collected
20­
21
days
following
the
second
foliar
application
except
at
the
FL
trial
site,
where
samples
were
collected
at
a
14­
day
PHI
due
to
an
infestation
of
late
blight.
At
two
trial
sites
in
NY
and
ID,
additional
duplicate
samples
were
collected
at
14­,
21­,
28­,
and
35­
day
PHIs
to
examine
residue
decline.
All
samples
were
placed
into
frozen
storage
within
3.5
hours
of
sampling.
Samples
were
shipped
frozen
by
ACDS
freezer
truck
to
the
analytical
laboratory
(
FMC
Corporation,
Princeton,
NJ),
where
samples
were
stored
at
­
18
°
C
until
extraction
for
analysis.

B.
3.
Analytical
Methodology
Samples
of
potatoes
were
analyzed
for
residues
of
bifenthrin
using
a
GC/
MSD
method
(
FMC
Corporation
Method
P­
2132M).

For
this
method,
residues
of
bifenthrin
are
extracted
with
acetone,
centrifuged,
and
concentrated
to
an
aqueous
remainder
under
nitrogen.
Residues
were
then
partitioned
into
hexane
and
purified
on
a
silica
gel­
solid­
phase
extraction
(
SPE)
cartridge.
Residues
are
eluted
from
the
SPE
cartridge
with
10%
ethyl
acetate/
hexane
and
concentrated.
Residue
levels
of
bifenthrin
were
analyzed
by
gas
chromatographic
analysis
using
a
mass
selective
detector,
using
the
m/
z
181
ion
for
quantitation.
External
standards
were
used
for
quantitation.

In
conjunction
with
the
analysis
of
field
trial
samples,
the
method
was
validated
using
control
samples
of
potatoes
fortified
with
bifenthrin
at
0.05,
0.1
and
0.2
ppm.

C.
RESULTS
AND
DISCUSSION
The
number
and
geographic
representation
of
the
potato
field
trials
are
adequate.
In
twelve
field
trials
conducted
during
2001,
bifenthrin
(
G
or
EC)
was
applied
as
an
in­
furrow
application

EC
at
0.1
lb
ai/

application,
for
a
total
of
0.5

The
RTIs
were
49­
109
days
between
the
in­
furrow
application
and
the
1st
foliar
application,
and
20­
22
days
between
the
two
foliar
applications.
A
single
control
and
duplicate
treated
samples
of
potato
tubers
were
collected
at
commercial
maturity
(
20­
21­
day
PHIs)
from
each
treatment.
Samples
from
the
FL
trials
were
collected
early
(
14­
day
PHI)
due
to
problems
with
infestation
of
late
blight.
Additional
samples
were
also
collected
at
14­,
21­,
28­,
and
35­
day
PHIs
from
two
trials
in
NY
and
ID
to
examine
residue
decline.

The
GC/
MSD
method
used
to
determine
bifenthrin
residues
in/
on
potatoes
was
adequately
validated
concurrently
with
the
field
sample
analyses.
Concurrent
validation
recoveries
from
control
samples
fortified
at
0.05­
0.2
ppm
averaged
72­
86%
with
standard
deviations
8­
12%.
Apparent
residues
of
bifenthrin
were
<
LOQ
on
all
control
samples.
The
validated
method
LOQ
for
bifenthrin
in
potatoes
is
0.05
ppm
and
the
LOD
is
0.01ppm.
Adequate
sample
calculations
and
example
chromatograms
were
provided.

The
samples
were
stored
frozen
from
collection
to
analysis
for
up
to
65
days
(
Table
C.
2).
Storage

data
are
available
indicating
that
bifenthrin
is

in

for
up
to
36
months
(

Regardless
of
the
type
of
formulation
used
for
the
in­
furrow
application
(
G
or
EC),
bifenthrin
residues
were
<
0.05
(<

ppm
in/
on
all
48
samples
of
potatoes
harvested
14­

PHIs
(
Table

Detectable
residues
of
bifenthrin
(
0.01­
0.02
ppm)
were
observed
in
only
7
of
the
48
samples,
and
these
7
samples
were
all
from
trials
using
the
EC
for
the
in­
furrow
application.
The
average
and
HAFT
residues
in/
on
potatoes
were
0.025
and
0.05
ppm,
respectively
(
Table
C.
4).
No
pattern
of
residue
decline
could
be
ascertained,
as
residues
were
<
LOQ
in
samples
from
each
interval
in
the
two
