Pesticides showed different degradation rates. Diazinon was degraded with a half-life (t1/2) of 5.2 days, acephate, azinphos methyl and dimethoate with t1/2 of ca 12 days and carbendazim with t1/2 of 15.5 days. After the pre-harvest interval (PHI) all pesticide residues were within the limits established by Italian law.57-62engPeach fruitPersistencePesticidesResiduesArtigo2-s2.0-0030537384
