How to minimize residues of active ingredients in the fruit?

PROBLEM

In modern agriculture, the use of pesticides achieves high production levels with high quality, which are necessary to obtain adequate production levels to feed the growing population of the planet.

However, the use of active ingredients is becoming increasingly restricted to prevent their concentration in food from harming human health.

So, How to minimize residues of active ingredients in the fruit?

In citrus production, several treatments are typically applied. These include insecticides to control aphids and California red scale, and acaricides to control spider mites. Additionally, fungicide treatments are used to control Alternaria and Mycosphaerella. In total, four active ingredients are used, and some are applied multiple times depending on the specific case.

Our client in the Valencia area, specifically l'Horta Nord, is managing the Navel variety farm within the citrus management program through EDYPRO's biotechnology.

SOLUTION

In 2017, the following active ingredients were used:

  • In MayPyraclostrobin 25 (Cabrio Top) and Mancozeb at their doses and accompanied by the spring anti-stress treatment and MELASTOP 1.5 L. x 1000 L.
  • In June: Espirotetramat (Movento) at its dose accompanied by MELASTOP 1.5 L. x 1000 L.
  • In AugustSpirodiclofen (Envidor) at the dose recommended by the manufacturer and accompanied by the specific products of EDYPRO to improve fruit quality and with MELASTOP 1.5 L. x 1000 L.

RESULT

Once the fruit was harvested in December, the marketing company analyzed the batch and was surprised by the very low level of Maximum Residue Limit (MRL) shown in the results of the multi-residue analysis, which is mandatory for all fruit placed on the market.

GC-MS/MS Pesticides

  • None of the active ingredients analyzed are equal to or greater than the LC.

HPLC-MSMS pesticides:

  • Spirotetramate enol 0.01 mg/Kg
  • Spirotetramate-enol glucoside 0.01 mg/Kg
  • Spirotetramate sum (1) 0.02 mg/Kg (maximum permitted limit = 1.0)

Here you can consult the Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) of Spirodiclofen y Spirotetramat in different countries. You can see that the residue is well below the limits allowed in almost every country in the world.

After a thorough analysis of the situation, our R&D Department has concluded that, thanks to the actions of MELASTOP, Our enhancer of plant protection treatments, which controls alkaline hydrolysis and enhances the activation of active ingredients, extending their useful life, also ensures that the molecules of the active ingredients degrade very quickly and without leaving residues in the plant material (fruits or leaves).

Therefore, plant protection products accompanied by MELASTOP Not only do they improve their effectiveness through better coverage of the plant mass and the penetration potential that the product ensures, but their application also entails an almost complete degradation of the active matter molecules and minimizes their concentration in the fruit.

[:in]PROBLEM

In modern agriculture, the use of phytosanitary products achieves high productions with high quality that are necessary to obtain adequate production levels that allow feeding the growing population of the planet.

However, the use of active matter is increasingly limited to prevent their concentration in food from damaging human health.

So, how to minimize the residues of the active matter in the fruits?

In citrus production, several treatments are used. Insecticide, for the control of aphids, California red louse, and acaricide, for the control of spider. In addition, fungicidal treatments for the control of Alternaria, Mycosphaerella. In this way, a total of four active matters are used which some, depending on the case, needs various applications.

Our client in the Valencia area, specifically l´Horta Nord, is managing the Navel variety farm within EDYPRO‘'s citrus management program through biotechnology.

SOLUTION

In 2017 our customer used:

  • May: Piraclostrobin 25 (Cabrio Top) and Mancozeb in their usual doses with the spring anti-stress treatment and MELASTOP in 1.5 L x 1000 L.
  • June: Spirotetramat (Movento) in the usual doses with MELASTOP in 1.5 L x 1000 L.
  • August: Spirodiclofen (Envidor) in the usual doses recommended by the manufacturer and with the EDYPRO‘'s products in order to improve the fruit quality with MELASTOP in 1.5 L x 1000 L.

RESULTS

Once the fruit was harvested, in December, the trading company analyzed the batch and was surprised by the low level of the Maximum Residue Limit (MRL) presented by the results of the multi-residue analysis, mandatory for all the fruit. that is put on the market.

Pesticides GC-MS/MS:

  • None of the active matters analyzed are greater than or equal to the LC.

HPLC-MS/MS Pesticides:

  • Spirotetramat-enol 0.01 mg/kg
  • Glucosid spirotetramat-enol 0.01 mg/kg
  • Spirotetramat sum (1) 0.02 mg/kg (maximum allowed = 1.0)

Here you can check the Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) for Spirodiclofen and Spirotetramat in different countries. You can see that the residue is well below the limits allowed in almost every country in the world.

After a thorough analysis of the situation, our R & D & i Department has come to the conclusion that, thanks to the action of MELASTOP, our enhancer of phytosanitary treatments that controls alkaline hydrolysis and enhances the activation of Active ingredients, extending their useful life, also achieves that the molecules of the active substances degrade very quickly and without leaving residues in the plant material (fruits or leaves).

For this reason, the phytosanitary products accompanied with MELASTOP not only improve their effectiveness due to the better recovery of the vegetative mass and the penetration potential that the product ensures, but its application also entails an almost complete degradation of the active matter and minimizes its concentration in the fruits.[:it]DIFFICULTY

In modern agriculture, the use of phytosanitary products allows the production to be elevated with a high quality that is necessary to obtain adequate production capacity to nourish the population in the growth of the pianeta.

However, the use of the principle of activity is always limited to prevent the concentration of food from neglecting human health.

Allora, How do you minimize the residue of the beginning of fruit production?

In the production of agrumi, only these products come with a variety of treatments. Insetticida, per il controllo degli aphidi, pidocchio rosso della California and acaricida, per il controllo del ragno. Inoltre, treatments of fungicides for the control of Alternaria, Mycosphaerella. In this way, we have complessively used four beginnings of operation and alcuni, a second from each other, we have carried out various applications.

Our client in the area of Valencia, in particular the Horta Nord, manages the variety of Navel in the area of the agricultural management program through the biotechnology of EDYPRO.

SOLUTION

In 2017, the following principles were applied:

  • To Maggio: Piraclostrobin 25 (Cabrio Top) and Mancozeb all the doses and accompagnati dal antistress treatment spring and MELASTOP a 1.5 L. x 1000 L.
  • To Giugno: Spirotetramat (Movento) alla tua dose accompagnato da MELASTOP a 1.5 L. x 1000 L.
  • Ad Agosto: Spirodiclofen (Server) all the doses recommended by the producer and compatible with the products EDYPRO specifici to improve the quality of the fruit and with MELASTOP a 1.5 L. x 1000 L.

 

RESULT

Once again the fruit, in the month of December, the commercial society has analyzed a campione ed è rimasta surprise dal basso livello del Limite Massimo di Residuo (MRL) presentedo dai risultati dell'analisi multiresiduo, obligatory for all the fruit on the market.

Pesticides GC-MS / MS

  • Nessuna delle sostanze attive analizzate è uguale o superiore a LC.

Pesticides HPLC-MSMS:

  • Spirotetrammate enol 0.01 mg/Kg
  • Spirotetrammato-enol glucoside 0.01 mg/Kg
  • Somma spirotetramate (1) 0.02 mg/Kg (maximum consent limit = 1.0)

Who can control and limit mass residues (MRL) per Spirodiclofen e Spirotetramat in diverse paesi. You can see that the residue is below the limits you consent to in almost every part of the world.

Dopo un'analisi approfondita della situazione, il our Office di Ricerca e Sviluppo è giunto alla conclusione che, grazie all'azione di MELASTOP, il our potentiator of phytosanitary treatments that control the alkaline hydrolysis and potenzia l'attivazione of the Principle of Attivi, prolonging the utility, also ensure that the molecule of the principle of Attivi does degrade very quickly and without residue in the vegetal material (fruit or foglie).

For this reason and compatible phytosanitary products MELASTOP Not only do we improve the effectiveness of the best coating of the plant mass and the penetration potential of the safe product, but the application also involves a total pressure degradation of the active material mass and minimizes the concentration of the fruit.
