Abstract

The objective of this thesis was to study the fate of pesticides in food, both raw and processed, resulting from the deliberate application of pesticides to agricultural crops. The example chosen for this study was maleic hydrazide (MH) which is regularly used in the USA as a growth regulant and sprout suppressant and only recently introduced into the UK on a staple crop-potatoes as a sprout suppressant.
