pesticides question
hello
i was wondering about the answer to a question and i would like to hear your opinion. lets say that we have a vegetable that is sprayed with a pesticide. the pesticide says that after 15 days it gets degraded to non toxic elements. i think that it is a common case among the various pesticides and fungucides. if i pick up a vegetable 2 days before the pesticide deadline finishes and store it in a refigerator is the pesticide going to dissolve as if the vegetable was on the plant? the point of my question is that i do not know what exactly the term degrade means for the various agro chemicals. it could mean that it is unstable anyway and disolves by its own no matter where the vegetable is stored or it could mean that it is dissolved by some biological or physical factors (e.g heat or some bacteria) etc what is your opinion and practice about this? thank you -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Nick Apostolakis e-mail: Web Site: http://agriroot.aua.gr/~nickapos -------------------------------------------------------------- |
