Abstract

This study investigated the residual analysis of chitosan-hexaconazole nanoparticles, a novel nanoformulation fungicide, in oil palm tissues and oil following application via trunk injection. The QuEChERS method coupled with GC-µECD was used for analysis. Results showed residue-free palm oil, but high fungicide accumulation in stem tissue and leaves, indicating good bioavailability for *Ganoderma boninense* treatment. Dissipation kinetics followed second-order kinetics with long half-lives.
