A quantitative study on the mercury residue in the brown rice of "Paldal", a recommended rice variety in Korea, was carried out by changing the date and frequency of application with different forms of organo-mercury fungicide(PMA), which is used for the control of rice blast. The results are summarized follows: 1) Mercury residues were higher with the emulsion formulation(0.21 ppm) than the dust formulation (0.16 ppm) when they were used for the control of leaf blast on July 13. 2) In case when both of the emulsion and dust formulations were used on July 13 and August 13, respectively, the mrecury residues were lower in the treatment on July 13 (0.216 and 0.16 ppm) than in the treatment on August 13 (0.304 and 0.238 ppm). 3) In an emulsion formulation was applied once on August 13, the mercury residue was 0.304 ppm and its application in twice on July 13 and August 13, the residue was counted 0.32 ppm. In case of dust formulation, the residues were observed 0.238 ppm in a single dose and 0.276 ppm in double application. 4) When the fungicide was applied to the rice plant on August 13, the mercury residues in brown rice, rice bran, and stalk and leaves were 0.304, 0.323, and 0.676 ppm, respectively found in the case of emulsion and in the case of dust formulation, they were 0.238, 0.283 and 0.698 ppm, respectively. The mercury residue, in general, were less in the case of dust than in the case of emulsion formulation and lowered by a single treatment than by two times application and it was also less by treating on July 13 than by treating on August 13.
