Abstract
A preliminary study was conducted to determine the residue levels of prochloraz in gingersamples treated with Sportak 450 CE (prochloraz as active ingredient) under laboratory conditions
and cold-storage for 15 days at 10°C and 89% RH. Sampling was carried out at 10 and 15 days after
Sportak 450 CE dip treatment (450 and 900 μg mL -1 ). Pesticide residues were determined by GC-
ECD. During the study, residue levels in ginger ranged between 3.6 and 10.6 mg Kg -1 for prochloraz.
