Development of residue management strategies and action plans for export vegetables
This project examined the risks of pesticide residue non-compliance for 11 crops, e.g., beans, beetroot, broccoli, cabbages, capsicums, carrots, cauliflower, celery, leeks, lettuce, and sweet corn. The project objective was to identify pest management options which could aid exports of Australian vegetable in achieving compliance with importing country standards. This was addressed, firstly through the provision of information on current pesticide related standards and secondly, where disparities existed by identifying alternative pesticide options that could assist in exports conforming to importer standards.
