RESTEC@ECLIPSE PESTICIDE RESIDUE TESTING SERVICES
WATER Eclipse analyse waters liable to contain pesticide residues and therefore having the potential to introduce these compounds onto crops or into the environment. Irrigation waters are frequently taken from surface water sources. Here there is a risk of run off from surrounding land bringing about contamination with pesticides previously applied elsewhere, possibly harmful and irrelevant to the product being cultivated. Waters may also become contaminated with potent general herbicides that interfere with plant growth. Waste waters from fruit/vegetable processing (wash waters) can become contaminated with residues and discharges to the public waste water systems need to be monitored. In both cases, screenings of the waters can be for a broad range of compounds – a multiresidue screen as detailed below – or tests can be confined to known risks eg residues of post harvest fungicides applied to potatoes Should I contact Eclipse?

Unrobe WATER microbes
Based on proprietary nanoparticle technology, it will be able to detect a range of WATER borne organisms - such as faecal coliforms, E. coli, Legionella, Cryptosporidium and Giardia.

The two main pesticides were Deethylatrazine and Atrazine, both of which were found in more than 20 percent of the sample wells.

The foliage should be thoroughly covered with the spray; pay particular attention to the interior of the plant. Make certain that you use a surfactant such as dish soap in your mixture. The waxy coating on the surface of the canna leaf will repel WATER. Source: sunherald, Date and Time of entry: Tuesday, August 28, 2007 15:58 PESTICIDE RESIDUE |
