| dc.description.abstract | Revelations of high levels of pesticide residues on foodstuffs has led to an outcry over the inappropriate use of pesticides on vegetables cultivated in urban and peri-urban areas of Ghana. In 2006 a survey of sixty farmers from the Volta region of Ghana revealed inappropriate pesticide application practices. Residue analysis detected the presence of chlorpyrifos, DDT, cypermethrin, and dimethoate in shallots, with levels of chlorpyrifos exceeding the Codex maximum residue level in most samples. | en_US |
