The conclusions of the EFSA following the peer review of the initial risk assessments carried out by the competent authorities of the rapporteur Member State, Italy, and co-rapporteur Member State, France, for the pesticide active substance oxamyl and the assessment of applications for maximum...

The vegetable crops are acutely sensitive to pest attacks, disease proliferation, and weed development. To control these pests, farmers resort excessively to various chemical plant protection products. Therefore, this study aims to measure the intensity of pesticides use and to estimate the...

The present study monitored pesticide residues in 2319 samples of fruiting vegetables namely, tomato (416), capsicum (363), brinjal (448), and cucurbits (1092) grown in the Northern and Western regions of India. The samples were extracted using QuEChERS method and analyzed for the residues of 155...

These days pesticides are extensively applied in agriculture to increase productivity; although these pesticides increase productivity but also have a negative impact on the consumer. Thus, pesticide exposure in agricultural products must be decreased. The present study attempted to assess ...

This mixed methods study used laboratory measurements of pesticide residues in produce, semi-structured questionnaires, and in-depth interview data to describe trends in pesticide residue in produce and handling and processing practices for fruits (watermelon and passion fruit) and vegetables...

The dissipation profiles of the acaricides abamectin, hexythiazox, and spiromesifen in the fruits of eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) grown under field conditions in Najran, Saudi Arabia, were studied. Extraction was performed with acetonitrile, and UPLC-MS/MS was used for quantification. Instead of ...

Agriculture is called to be the backbone of India from tradition to recent and more than 65% population is engaged in agriculture in India. For bumper crop production in agricultural field, green revolution started in 1960s through using high yielding crop varieties which are heavy feeder of...
