Environmental fate: Animals:In rats, following oral administration, chinomethionat is rapidly metabolised, and c. 90% is eliminated within 3 days in the faeces and urine. The main metabolite is chinomethionat acid (dimethylmercaptoquinoxaline-6-carboxylic acid), which also Soil:Koc 45-90 (3 soil types from sandy loam to high organic matter). DT50 in standard soil land 2 1-3 d.Plant:After application to fruit, no penetration of the a.i. or metabolites in the fruit pulp was observed. The only metabolite detected was dihydromethylquinoxalinedithiol. WATER SOLUBILITY: 1 mg/l at 20° C
