Poor practice and dry weather causes higher nematicide residues

摘要

Poor practice, as well as the weather could have contributed to higher than usual maximum residue level exceedances for potatoes treated with nematicides. Consignments of potatoes treated with Nemathorin (fosthiazate) had been found to have exceeded the maximum residue limit for potatoes, Pat Haydock, leader of Harper Adams University College nematol-ogy group, told growers at British Potato 2011.
