Organic mercurial fungicides, for seed treatments and dust formulations, has been increasingly used by farmers.
Evaluation of the purity of organic mercurial fungicides has been performed by precipitation method at this laboratory. There are several methods for the an alyses of organic mercuric formulation, among which are (1) Precipitation met hod, (2) Volatilization method, (3) Volumetric method, and (4) Dithizon method.
These methods, however, show some deffects in specificity (differentiation of organic form) and quantitativity.
Polarography applied for the estimation of phenyl mercuric acetate was found to be simple, rapid and accurate. Tile fundamental method of polarography arid accuracy of analysis are discussed statistically and and a satisfactory results was obtained.
