Abstract

Pesticide residual analyses of selected pesticides (Carbofuran, Cypermethrin, Mancozeb and Chlorpyrifos) in brinjal fruits are explained by using Gas Chromatographic system. There were two varieties (BARI-8 and UTTARA) of brinjal, cultivated at Department of Environmental Science Field, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh and the harvesting time was selected as 0 day, 3rd day and 7th day from the pesticide spray. After harvesting 54 brinjal fruit samples had been dried and packed properly. In GC analysis, calibration curve was drawn for every concentration of standard solution with areas of peak as well as a major eluted peak for one and every pesticides solution was obtained. Results revealed that the contents of pesticide residues were higher in 0-day as compared to 3rd day and 7th day for both of the varieties. In contrast, the incidences of pesticides in fruits of all the samples in 0 day for both varieties exceeded the MRL with the highest significant for all pesticide residues. On the 7 days interval the pesticide residues for all selected pesticide under the MRL of both varieties. UTTARA brinjal fruits had more trend to reduce the pesticide residue within day variation than the BARI-8 variety. The reduction trend (Reduction Factor) ranged from 0.164 ppm to 0.230 ppm for both varieties which had a positive response to the pesticide concentration reduction over day variation. This study also suggested that on considering the consumer safety, brinjal should not be harvested less than 3-5 days as well as it may be consumed at approximately 7 days later from the spray. Public awareness about the pesticides and other related matter should be increased for practicing a pesticide free agriculture as well as gain contaminate free environment.
