Parathion residues on apple and peach foliage as affected by the presence of the fungicides, maneb and zinéb.

Abstract

The problem of hazard to crop workers who enter fields or orchards following application of toxic pesticides has been of considerable interest during recent years. Several outbreaks of illness resulting from crop reentry following pesticide application have occurred since QUINBY and LEMMON (1958) first reported pesticide residues as a cause of poisoning in crop workers; however, most of these "residue poisonings" have been relatively mild in nature.
