Abstract

Behaviour of pesticides during plant cultivation and food processing is an issue of high importance from human health and environmental safety points of view. In our research we studied the fate of two pesticide active ingredients, spirotetramat and metalaxyl-M (of Movento and Ridomil products, respectively) whether these influence each other’s dissipation from the plant after treatment, and how these are appearing on the dried tomato, as a processed product. The results show that the two compounds indeed influence the other’s dissipation process, however, the details of this influence are not clear yet.
