The cucumber plants grown in field were sprayed with methomyl at dose
(60-g a.i./100 liter water).The objectives of this work were to study role of
somehome Preparation (washing and peeling) in elimination of methomyl
residues from contaminated cu
cumber fruits. The washing processes caused
removal of residues methomyl from contaminated cucumber fruits that
collected at intervals: 1,3 days after one application by percent loss reached:
72,60 %, respectively.
The percent loss reached: 37.7, 45.8 % in cucumber fruits that collected at
intervals: 0, 2 days, respectively after two applications. The peeling processes
caused removal of residues methomyl from cucumber fruits that collected at
intervals: 0, 3 days after one application by percent loss reached: 58.75, 57.14
%, respectively. and in cucumber fruits that collected at intervals : 0, 2 and 3
days after two applications ,the percent loss was: 55, 62.7 and 34.6 %,
respectively.
