How long can I eat the fruit after being sprayed with pesticides?

Pesticide fruits generally need to wait **7-15 days** before eating.

The exact time it can be consumed depends on the type of pesticide and the type of fruit. For example, if it is a low-toxicity pesticide, it can be consumed after about 7 days, but for safety reasons, it is best to soak it in fruit and vegetable detergent for 10-15 minutes, or soak it in water for 30-60 minutes. If it is a moderately toxic pesticide, it is best to consume it 15 days after spraying.

In addition, if it is a pesticide with strong residues, it may take longer to pick it and wash it when eating the fruit. You can choose to soak in baking soda water, rinse the surface of fruits and vegetables, soak in baking soda for about 10 minutes, and rinse with water. It can also be soaked in brine, but the concentration of brine should not be too high, if the concentration of soaking brine is too high, it is easy to form osmotic pressure, which will cause pesticide residues to enter fruits and vegetables.

If you don't rinse it, it won't do it directly, which will cause some water-soluble pesticide residues to dissolve and penetrate into the inside of fruits and vegetables. In case of pesticide poisoning, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time to avoid delaying the condition.

Always make sure to wash the fruit thoroughly before eating it.

Organophosphates and carbamates, as well as some fungicides, are generally eaten after a few days or weeks after washing.

Pesticide residue time analysis:

Organochlorine pesticides have the longest residual period in soil, ranging from several years to 20 to 30 years.

This is followed by homodiazepine benzene and phenoxyacetic acid herbicides, and the residue period is generally about a few months to one year.

Organophosphates and carbamates, as well as some fungicides, are generally only a few days or weeks old and rarely accumulate in the soil.

The residual time of various pesticides in the soil is mainly determined by their physical and chemical properties, in addition to various factors such as soil texture, organic matter content, pH, moisture content, soil microbial community, tillage system and crop type.

The order of the duration of pesticide residue in various types of soil is as follows: organic soil, sandy soil, silty soil, and clay soil.

When it comes to environmental protection, the shorter the residue period, the better.

For plant protection, the residue period is too short to achieve the expected control effect.

Therefore, when evaluating the pesticide residue period, it should be measured from the aspects of preventing pollution and improving drug efficacy, and one of the two should not be neglected.

For general fruits and vegetables, pesticides can be removed by the following methods:

Rinse pesticides attached to leafy vegetables such as spinach and chicken hair, which can be placed in the sink or basin, while washing, washing, and draining, that is, washing vegetables with running water, and repeatedly rinsing several times, which can effectively wash off the residual pesticides.

Soaking in rice washing water, pesticides are more acidic, and alkaline substances will lose part of their toxicity due to neutralization. The rice water is weakly alkaline and can play a detoxifying role. Rinse the purchased fruits and vegetables with clean water, then soak them in rice washing water for 30 minutes, and then rinse them with clean water.

Peeling method For potatoes, carrots, loofahs, winter melons and other vegetables, as well as apples, pears and other fruits, washing and peeling can also remove pesticide residues on them.

Boiling method, before cooking, celery, cauliflower and other vegetables can be put in boiling water to boil slightly, which can remove more than 90 residual pesticides.

Detergent disinfection method Soak the washed vegetables and fruits in water dripping with dish soap for a few minutes, and then rinse them off with clean water.

The fruit of the pesticide is picked again after 15 days and can be eaten after cleaning. Insecticide spraying should be stopped about 15 days before the fruit is ripe. The safe interval for most pesticides is around 10-15 days.

The fruits that have been sprayed with pesticides are not suitable for consumption, and they need to be removed before they can be eaten.

Effective ways to remove pesticides:

1. Baking soda soaking method. Rinse the surface of fruits and vegetables first, soak them in baking soda for about 10 minutes (generally add 5 10 grams of baking soda powder to 500ml of water), and rinse with water;

2. High temperature heating method. High temperature can accelerate the decomposition of pesticides, and when cooking vegetables, you can rinse them with water and blanch them in boiling water before cooking.

The impact of pesticide use on fruit trees is a matter of great concern to fruit farmers, and after years of practice and research, the relevant ministries have detailed regulations on the safety period of each pesticide use. Therefore, if the fruit tree is sprayed with pesticides, if you want to pick the fruit to be safe to eat, you must wait until the safe period. At present, China has corresponding standards for the safety period of pesticide use, and the rotten elimination should be sprayed for different cycles after the use of pesticides, and the fruits can be picked and eaten during the safety period.

Generally speaking, the safety period of various pesticides is also different, and the safety period of fruit trees corresponding to each pesticide is also different.

According to the regulations of the agricultural department, the safety period of the tree after the use of pesticides is generally between 3 and 20 days. Different fruit trees and different pesticides will be used in different situations, the safety period will be different, one thing that needs to be reconfirmed is that when using pesticides, you must follow the instructions for the use of pesticides to ensure that the standards of the safety period are strictly observed. After the use of pesticides, pesticides are decomposed and transferred, and after the expiration date, the residues in the fruit will be reduced, and the fruit is considered safe at this time.

In general, the safety period of pesticides for fruit trees needs to be different according to different pesticides and different fruits, generally a period of 3-20 days. At the same time, it is more important to follow the instructions for use on the pesticide instructions to ensure the safety of the current situation of the fruit and human health. Farmers should understand the corresponding regulations when spraying pesticides, so that when using pesticides, hail pants can ensure the safety of fruits, and also pay attention to the age, weather, terrain, tree condition, types of pesticides and pesticide dosages, etc., to ensure the health of fruit trees and the safety of humans.

Provide some convenient and feasible ways to reduce pesticide residues. Method.

1. Water soaking washing method: Generally, rinse off the surface dirt with clean water, remove the visible stained parts, and then cover the fruits and vegetables with water about 5 cm, and soak in flowing water for no less than 30 minutes. If necessary, cleaning agents such as fruit and vegetable lotions can be added to increase the dissolution of pesticides.

Soak 2-3 times in this way, basically remove most of the residual pesticide components. Method.

2. Alkaline water immersion cleaning method: most organophosphorus insecticides can be quickly decomposed in an alkaline environment, so the method of alkaline water immersion is one of the effective methods to remove pesticide pollution from vegetables and fruits. Generally, 5-10 grams of edible alkali are added to 500 ml of water to prepare alkaline water, and the fruits and vegetables after preliminary rinsing are placed in alkaline water, according to the amount of vegetables, sufficient alkaline water, soaked for 5-15 minutes, rinsed with water, and repeated washing about 3 times The effect is better.

Method. 3. Heating cooking method: Because carbamate insecticides will accelerate the decomposition with the increase of temperature, some residual pesticides can be removed by heating for some fruits and vegetables that are difficult to be treated by other methods. Generally, the washed fruits and vegetables are placed in boiling water for 2-5 minutes, then removed immediately, and then washed with water 1-2 times and then placed in a pot to cook into dishes.

Method. 4. Cleaning and peeling method: For fruits and vegetables with skin, such as apples, pears, kiwifruit, cucumbers, carrots, winter melons, pumpkins, eggplants, radishes, tomatoes, etc., the appearance of residual pesticides can be peeled off with sharp tools, and the fleshy part can be eaten, which is both delicious and safe. Method.

5. Storage and custody method: Some pesticides will slowly decompose into harmless substances over time during storage. Therefore, when conditions permit, some fruits suitable for storage and storage should be purchased and stored for a period of time (about 10-15 days).

Wash and peel before eating for better results.

After a week, you can.

Buying new bottles and saucers can remove pesticide residues.
