Petty USDA/APHIS/National Wildlife Research Center, Analytical Chemistry Project, 3350 Eastbrook Drive, Fort Collins, CO 80525, USA Received: 5 December 1997/Accepted: 15 April 1998 Zinc phosphide (ZN P ) is an acute rodenticide. One of its current uses employs application 3 2 as a grain bait or pellet at the time of planting to reduce agricultural losses by field rodents. To mitigate rodent induced losses to corn, we hoped to expand the approved uses of zinc phosphide to include corn applications. After determining acceptable efficacy, we conducted a study to determine if potentially hazardous zinc phosphide residues in corn would result from this use. A field study was conducted in 5 corn growing states to provide samples for residue analysis of corn treated with zinc phosphide. Corn is used both as a food and feed commodity. Therefore, the plant was harvested and subsequently analyzed as forage/silage, the immature green plant at the earliest TI - Determination of Zinc Phosphide Residues in Corn ( Zea mays ) Grain, Fodder, and Forage JF - Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology DO - 10.1007/s001289900709 DA - 1998-06-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/springer-journals/determination-of-zinc-phosphide-residues-in-corn-zea-mays-grain-fodder-sLk96Tg60c SP - 877 EP - 884 VL - 60 IS - 6 DP - DeepDyve ER -
