The objective of this work was to estimate the disappearance of pyrimethanil, the active ingredient of Mythos 300 SC, at present, commonly used for the protection of greenhouse vegetables against diseases of fungal origin. Disappearance trends of the chemical deposits were studied on tomato plants grown in commercial greenhouses sprayed with a homogeneous 0.15% aqueous solution of the plant protection product. It was found that, on average, pyrimethanil residues on ripening fruits dropped by half and reached detection limit level in 5.7 and 13.7 days after Mythos 300 SC application, respectively. Pyrimethanil residues on tomato leaves dropped by half within 4.0 days and reached detection limit level in the first 10.5 days. Therefore, in conditions of high infection pressure, there is a need to repeat the fungicide application as early as after 3 or 4 days after previous application of Mythos 300 SC.

Introduction: Recycling drenchers used to apply postharvest fungicides in pome fruit may spread microorganisms, i.e., plant and foodborne pathogens, that increase fruit loss and impact food safety.

The context of the peer review was that required by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012, as amended by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 2018/1659. The conclusions were reached on the basis of the evaluation of the representative uses of pyrimethanil as a fungicide on grapevine and pome fruit (field uses), strawberry and lettuce (field and greenhouse uses).

The effect of pesticide residues on non-target microorganisms in multi-contaminated soils remains poorly understood. In this study, we examined the dissipation of commonly used pesticides in a multi-contaminated vineyard soil and its effect on bacterial, fungal, and protistan communities. We conducted laboratory soil microcosm experiments under varying temperature (20°C and 30°C) and water content (20 % and 40 %) conditions.

Human exposure to pesticides in the general population occurs mainly through food consumption. However, specific dietary habits or food products that contribute to pesticide exposure are often unknown. In this study, we propose a combined screening for polyphenols and pesticide residues by liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) to assess the diet and the associated pesticide exposure.

Pomegranate are often treated with preservatives during storage. This study investigated the effects of storage and food processing on the residual behavior of the five commonly used preservatives (prochloraz, thiophanate-methyl, pyrimethanil, imazalil, and difenoconazole) and their metabolites in pomegranate and its products. The LOQs for all target compounds were 0.
