인삼 중 tolclofos-methyl의 잔류특성과 인삼 중 tolclofos-methyl이 높은 검출율의 원인을 구명하기 위하여 인삼 종자에 tolclofos-methyl을 분의처리하고 파종한 후 1년간 재배한 묘삼을 본포에 정식하였으며, 3년근까지 매년 잔류농약을 분석하였다. 시험농약의 검출한계와 정량한계는 각각 0.001과 0.003 mg/kg이었다. 회수율은 정량 한계, 정량한계의 10배 및 최대잔류량 수준으로 처리하여 시험한 결과 77.37-100.16%범위이었다. 묘삼 중 tolclofos-methyl의 잔류량은 7.58-8.05 mg/kg이었으며, 2년근의 잔류량은 6.46-6.79 mg/kg, 3년근의 경우 4.18-4.35 mg/kg이었다. 잔류분석 결과 인삼 중 tolclofos-methyl의 잔류량이 감소하였는데 이는 종자분의처리한 시험농약이 묘삼에 흡수 이행한 후 본포에 정식하면서 연차적인 인삼의 비대성장과 농약의 분해에 기인한 것으로 판단되었다.
This study was carried out to evaluate residual characteristics of tolclofos-methyl in ginseng and elucidate the reason for its high detection rate from fresh ginseng selling at markets. Seeds of ginseng were sowed after seed dressing with tolclofos-methyl and after a year of growth, the young seedlings were transplanted to field. They were then harvested annually until three-years of growth and the pesticide residue was analyzed in them. LOD and LOQ of the pesticide were 0.001 and 0.003 mg/kg, respectively. Recovery test was carried out to validate the analytical method for tolclofos-methyl in ginseng. The ginseng seedlings were fortified with the test pesticide at the level of LOQ, ten times of LOQ and maximum residue concentration of tolclofos-methyl. Its recovery ranged from 77.37 to 100.16%. Residual concentration of tolclofos-methyl in ginseng seedlings just before transplanting and two-year-old ginseng were from 7.58 to 8.05 and from 6.46 to 6.79 mg/kg, respectively. In case of three-year-old ginseng, it was found to be from 4.18 to 4.35 mg/kg. As a result of annual pesticide residue analysis, concentration of the pesticide was found to decrease time-coursely in ginseng. This may be due to decomposition and increasing of fresh weight of the ginseng during the cultivation periods of three years.
