Samples of Brussels sprouts, lettuce, green peas and French beans, potatoes and strawberries from commercial crops that had been treated with demeton‐methyl, oxydemeton‐methyl, dimethoate and/or formothion were analysed at the time of harvest. 168 of 191 samples (88%) contained residues of these pesticides not exceeding 0.2 ppm; the residues in the remainder did not exceed 0.8 ppm.
