The halflives of difenoconazole at higher dosage (1125 g/hm2, spraying for one time) in rice plant, paddy water, and paddy soil were 6.1-8.9 d, 5.3-6.2 d and 3.8-4.1 d, respectively in different rice planting area. Residual levels of difenoconazole in brown rice were below the limit of detection 28 d after treatment (<0.01 mg/kg) in all treatments. However, the residual levels of difenoconazole in rice culm were higher than those in brown rice and rice husk, and the final residual levels of difenoconazole in paddy soil were below the limit of detection (<0.01 mg/kg) in all treatments. Based on the actual production, difenoconazole residues in brown rice, rice culm and rice husk were safe according to the recommended dosage, times and interval. In spite of that, the use of difenoconazole should be avoided in ricefish culture model, so as to prevent side effects on aquatic organisms such as fish.
