Abstract:

The use of pesticides plays an important role in controlling pests in crops, especially for vegetables and fruits. However, the unreasonable use of pesticides has caused excessive pesticide residues, environmental pollution and other problems. China has a vast territory, and the situation of pesticide residues in vegetables and fruits is different in different regions. Therefore, this study analyzed the current situation of pesticide residues in four economic regions of China in recent ten years and explored the residues’ differences in different varieties, purchase sources and seasons of vegetables and fruits. Then, this paper discussed different household processing methods to reduce the pesticide residues in vegetables and fruits. Based on the analyses above, the paper put forward some relevant suggestions on scientific and rational use of pesticides, as well as effective methods for removing pesticide residues in vegetables and fruits.

Key words: vegetables and fruits, pesticide residues, current situation, removal methods
