Evaluation of dicarboximide residues in cold-stored kiwifruits exposed to field and post-harvest treatments.

The effectiveness of field and post-harvest treatments with dicarboximides (iprodione, procymidone and vinclozolin) against B. fuckeliana (B. cinerea) rot has been evaluated in cold-stored kiwifruits. Although effective, field treatments did not allow the achievement of the desired level of control, whereas post-harvest applications permitted to maintain the absolute health of fruits even when these were artificially inoculated. Dicarboximide residues were estimated after 4 months storage on fruits exposed to different treatments. Observations on the partitioning of fungicides between skin and pulp showed that the level of residues present in the edible part of the fruits was negligible. The maximum residue limits admitted in Italy are referred to unpeeled fruits. The validity of this criterion is briefly discussed.
