Residue decay of Pirimicarb, Chlorpyrifos-methyl and Penconazole, pesticides widely used in Puglia, Italy, for artichoke protection, was assessed by developing a multiresidue method and employing GLC with capillary column and a nitrogen-phosphorus detector. High recoveries of the active ingredient (94-101%) and good sensitivity were obtained. The limit of determination for all three pesticides was 0.01 mg . kg(-1) The residue amounts detected at the end of pre-harvest: interval were below the maximum residue limits permitted by Italian law, although the residue levels of Pirimicarb and Chlorpyrifos-methyl were found to be very close to these limits.

Abstract
Residue decay of Pirimicarb, Chlorpyrifos-methyl and Penconazole, pesticides widely used in Puglia, Italy, for artichoke protection, was assessed by developing a multiresidue method and employing GLC with capillary column and a nitrogen-phosphorus detector. High recoveries of the active ingredient (94-101%) and good sensitivity were obtained. The limit of determination for all three pesticides was 0.01 mg . kg(-1) The residue amounts detected at the end of pre-harvest: interval were below the maximum residue limits permitted by Italian law, although the residue levels of Pirimicarb and Chlorpyrifos-methyl were found to be very close to these limits.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
