Abstract
To confirm physico-chemical stability of formulated products, this study was conducted under different storage conditions; room temperature and accelerated temperature of $54^{\circ}C$. The tested pesticide formulations were dichlorvos 50% EC, acephate 50% WP, hymexazol 4% DP, thiram 80% WP and isoprothiolane 12% GR. The selected formulations were stored for 10 weeks and 5 years under the given temperature in maximum and contents of active ingredients were also analyzed by GLC or HPLC after each time of storage. The degradation rates of 5 active ingredients under the two conditions showed a similar trend except acephate. Acephate was rapidly decomposed at $54^{\circ}C$ but slowly decomposed at room temperature, and the degradation rate under the accelerated condition was 2.4 to 5-fold higher than that under the room temperature. Consequently, the stability test on active ingredients in pesticide formulations was able to recommend to be carried out under the accelerated condition except acephate. And the physical properties of all formulations tested under two storage conditions were good.
