Monitoring of agrochemical residues in grape and grape produce

 

Name of PI with associates

Dr. Kaushik Banerjee, Sr. Scientist (Agricultural Chemistry)

Objectives:

Duration:

April 2008 to March 2014

Highlights:

Agrochemical residues in grapes and grape processed products viz. raisin, juice and wine from different sources viz. vineyards, export pack houses, wineries, domestic markets, etc. will be explored. Fate of pesticides during processing of grapes to raisin and wine will be investigated. The estimated residues will be compared with the ADI and MRL values for evaluation of food safety to the consumers. The results will work as the foundation for IPM schedule/recommendations for grapes to ensure safe use of pesticides.
