| Summary: | In the period 1996 – 1998, 348 samples of different plants (potato, grapes, maize, apples, carrots, lettuce, cabbage) were collected directly from their growth places. A total of 742 analyses was made in order to determine the contamination of agricultural products with the residues of copper, organophosphorous esters, dithiocarbamates, metalaxyl, dicarboxymids, phthalimids, chlorinated hydrocarbons, carbamates and triazines. The pesticide residues were contained in 97 samples or 27.87 %. The maximum residue limit was exceeded in 1.15 % of analysed samples.
