Monitoring-Report-FVP-2019

Cauliflower Monitoring- Report 2017 Futtermittel Monitoring- Report 2019 QS Fachgesellschaft Obst-Gemüse-Kartoffeln and DFHV Deutscher Fruchthandelsverband e.V. During the evaluation period, 238 cauliflower samples were tested for plant protection product residues. The positive result: no active substances could be detected in more than 80% (192 samples). Only one active substance was detected in 17.2% of the analysed samples of this cabbage variety, in a further 1.3% two active substances were detected. It was pos- sible to detect a maximum of three active substances of plant protection products in only 0.8% of the cauliflower samples. Regarding the detected active substances, in almost 90% of the cases they only reached up to 30% of the maximum residue levels (MRLs). With a exploitation of 165% of the MRL for the active substance dimethoate only one of the analysed samples of cauliflower showed an MRL exceedance. In total, twelve different active substances were detected in the analysis of the samples. The most frequently de- tected active substance was spirotetramat (insecticide). All tested samples were from the EU, of which the largest proportion came from Germany (151 samples). The ana- lysis also included samples of cauliflower from France (25), Italy (24), Spain (21), the Netherlands (8), Belgium (7), as well as one sample from Greece and one from Poland. A total of 213 lamb's lettuce samples from six countries of origin were analysed. The results for the lettuce with the spicy taste were not consistently in the "green range". Only 66 sam- ples (31%) were free of active substances. Most of the analysed samples came from Germany (124 samples), followed by Belgium with 39 and France with 31 samples. Of the 69% of lamb's lettuce samples with residues, 18.8% contained one and a further 25.8% a maximum of two active substances. Overall, the analysis revealed the detection of 32 different active substances, the most common being the fungicides boscalid (104 samples), pyraclostrobin (65 samples) and iprodione (58 samples). It should be positively emphasized that in 88.4% of the detected active substan- ces, the exploitation of the MRL was only at a maximum value of 10%. MRL excee- dances were identified for the active substances dieldrin , quintozene , clothianidin and fluazifop . In the case of the insecticide dieldrin it was a legacy. The active substance, which is no longer approved worldwide, is accumulated in the soil as a result of earlier applications and, due to its persistence, only degrades slowly. This can lead to detections or exceedances of the MRLs.

The red fruiting vegetable perfor- med well: in more than half (55,1%) of all samples tested no plant protection product residues were detected. Up to ten different active substances per sample were detected in the remaining 44.9% of the samples. Thereof, 97.9% contained a maximum of four active substances. Only 24 samples (2.1%) of this fruiting vegetable exceeded this value, and a single sample (0.1%) contained ten diffe- rent active substances. Altogether, the evaluation revealed the presence of 74 different pesticide active substances. For 80% of the active substances the concentration reached a maximum of 10% of the MRL. Exceedances were only detected in three samples. This concerns the following active substances: fosetyl-Al (sum, exploitation 120%), chlorfenapyr (exploitation 210%) and pymetrozine (exploi- tation 116%). The most detected substance was the fungi- cide fluopyram , followed by the insecticide/acaricide spiromesifen and the insecticide chlorantraniliprol . Over 92% of the tomato samples analysed came from the EU, more precisely from Germany (297 samples), Belgium (287 samples), the Netherlands (273 samples) and Spain (190 samples).
