Abstract

Due to their use, pesticides can get into the vegetables during primary production and thus into the food chain, therefore they constitute a potential risk to the consumer’s health. Thus, it is extremely important that the levels of pesticides do not exceed the MRLs in the vegetables and their products intended for consumption. The plants were treated with Movento (spirotetramat) insecticide and Amistar Top (azoxystrobin, difenoconazole) fungicide at officially authorized concentrations and amounts, and the elimination of pesticides was monitored by LC/MS method after individual and simultaneous application in the tomato and tomato juice. In all samples of tomatoes and tomato juice tested, the pesticide residues were below the MRL, but the copresence of pesticides remarkably extended the elimination of the individual compounds. Summarising, the simultaneous application of the investigated pesticides can be safely used, their concentrations are compliance with the legal regulations, thus their concomitant presence does not pose risk to the consumers’ health.
