WSU-TFREC/Postharvest Information Network/Residue Tolerances for Postharvest Chemicals
Residue Tolerances for Postharvest Chemicals
Introduction
The Northwest Horticultural Council publishes a complete list of maximum residue allowances for apples, pears, and cherries its Export Manual. This Export Manual is available online at www.nwhort.org. Because countries continue to revise their standards, the following table should be used as a general reference only. Shippers should consult the Export Manual and their importers to ascertain the latest standards in the importing country.
Use pesticides with care. Apply them only to plants, animals, or sites listed on the label. When mixing and applying pesticides, follow all precautions to protect yourself and others around you. It is a violation of law to disregard label directions. If pesticides are spilled on skin or clothing, remove clothing and wash skin thoroughly. Store pesticides in their original containers and keep them out of the reach of children, pets, and livestock. Trade names have been used to simplify information; no endorsement is intended.
