[Research on some phosphorganic insecticide residues in olive oil in relation to techniques of Dacus oleae control. I. Results of total treatment to the foliage (author's transl)].

Abstract

The research conducted to verify the presence and the amount of residues of organophosphorus insecticides in olive oil from olive trees sprayed against. Dacus oleae has shown that both hydrophilic (dimethoate, formathion, phosphamidon) and lypophilic (fenthion, medathion, prolate) substances tested leave more or less appreciable residues in the oil, either in a short time or in more than one month from the treatment. In the operative conditions reflecting antidacic practice, the amount of residue appears higher for the lypophilic organophosphorus insecticides.
