Chlorantraniliprole belongsto theanthranilic diamide group is widely used against broad range of lepidopteron pests in a variety of vegetable and rice pests includingyellow rice stem borer and leaf folder. Supervised field trials were conducted during Rabi (2018–2019) and Kharif (2019) to evaluate the dissipation pattern and risk assessment of chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC in paddy ecosystem following foliar application at 30 and 60 g a.i. ha -1 in two different cropping seasons.Modified QuEChERS (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged and Safe) technique was used for the extraction of CAP residues with acetonitrile and determined by LC–MS/MS (ESI +).The limit of quantification (LOQ) was 0.01 µg g −1 for paddy leaf, straw, husk, and brown rice, respectively and 0.005 µg g −1 for soil. The average recoveries obtained were 84.30–88.92% from paddy leaf, 94.25–97.81% from straw, 90.21–93.38% from husk, 93.57–96.40% from brown rice and 89.93–91.14% from soil. The residues in paddy leaf dissipated within 35–40 days with a half-life of 4.33–5.07 days in Rabi and 3.92–4.86 days in Kharif at 30 and 60 g a.i. ha −1 , respectively. The residues in soil dissipated within 15–21 days with a half-life of 14.44–15.75 days in Rabi and 13.33–14.44 days in Kharif at respective doses. At harvest chlorantraniliprole residues were not detected in straw, husk, and brown rice. The dietary risk of paddy leaf (green fodder) for cattle was found safe for consumption as the hazard index is less than one. Soil ecological risk assessment was found to be less than one (RQ
