Abstract
Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) includes agricultural techniques which environmentally-conscious, is not harmful to human and animal health, target protection of natural resources, provide traceability and food security. With these kinds of production techniques, it is aimed at agricultural production which is socially viable, economically profitable and sustainable. In this study conducted under good agricultural practices, pesticide residues in apricot fruit were investigated. The experiment was set up to have 3 replications and 15 trees in each replicate, according to randomized trial design. From the trees included in the experiment, necessary samples were taken at the harvest time and analyzes were carried out. In this study, pesticide residue levels were determined in fruit extracts with high-precision analytical instruments such as LC-MS/MS and GC-MS. A total of 385 pesticide active substances were analyzed in LC-MS/MS and 101 pesticide active substances in GC-MS in fruit extracts. In this research carried out in 2014 and 2015, samples of both years were not found to be detectable to the tolerance values of Turkish Food Codex (TFC).
