Experiments were carried out on greenhouse cucumbers for studding the degradation of three insecticides i.e. carbosulfan (Marshal 25% W.P.), chlorpyrifos-methyl (Reldan 50% E.C.) and malathion (Agrothion 57% E.C.) and for estimating the residues left on fruits harvested at commercial ripening. The effects of these insecticide treatments on the total soluble solids of cucumber fruits were also studied. Analysis of fruits ... إقراء المزيد
