To investigate the changes in content of residual pesticides for safety production of young radishes in the production steps in greenhouse and to evaluate the safety of young radishes in the final consuming step, biological half-life of pesticides (diazinon, endosulfan) in packaging products was studied. Samples were collected regularly from 2 hours to 10 days after the distribution of pesticides in young radishes. The contents of residual pesticides in young radishes during cultivating in greenhouse as the levels of distribution concentrations reduced with time. During 10 days of pesticides distribution, decomposition rate of pesticides were diazinon > endosulfan. A half-life of endosulfan was 0.6 day longer than diazinon because endosulfan derived persistent endosulfan sulfate. To produce the safe young radish, after the distribution of the pesticides the desirable harvest time based on maximum residue limit (MRL) was 6th day diazinon for and 10th day for endosulfan.

In order to elucidate the residual characteristics of the insecticides, bifenthrin and imidacloprid, the pesticides were sprayed onto the squash and their residues were analyzed with GC-ECD and HPLC. Detection limits of the pesticides were $0.005\;mg;kg^{-1}$ and recoveries of bifenthrin and imidacloprid in squash were from 100.87 to 104.31 and from 79.71 to 92.54%, respectively. Half-lives of bifenthrin and imidacloprid in squash were from 1.8 to 2.9 and from 1.5 to 2.5 days, respectively. Initial concentration of bifenthrin and imidacloprid sprayed at the recommended rate and double rate of recommendation were less than their MRLs. And also, residueal concentrations of the pesticides were rapidly decreased in squash with time. At harvest, estimated daily intakes (EDIs) of the pesticides were less than 0.6% of their acceptable daily intakes (ADIs).

A chromatographic method for the determination of imazapyr, a non-selective herbicide, in agricultural commodities was developed to use safety control of pesticide residue on crops, and was fully validated as an official method for residue analysis. Agricultural commodities, mandarin (fruit), hulled rice (cereal grains), pepper (vegetables), potato (potatoes) and soybean (beans) were extracted with methanol and partitioned with dichloromethane to remove the interference obtained from sample extracts, adjusting pH to 2.5 by 4N hydrochloric acid. Finally, they were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography coupled to UV detector (HPLC-UVD). The developed method had the linearity in the range of test concentrations with coefficients of determination ($r^2$) more than 0.99. Recovery studies were carried out at three concentration levels (LOQ, 10LOQ, and 50LOQ) performing five replicates at each level. Recoveries were ranged between 72.1 to 108.0%, with relative standard deviations less than 10%. A consistent recovery was determined according to the CODEX guidelines (CAC/GL40, 2003). Finally, LC/MS with selected ion monitoring was also applied to confirm the suspected residues of imazapyr in agricultural samples. This developed method for determination of imazapyr residues in agricultural commodities. can be used as an official method.

The common recognition which the organic product is compared as safe to baby does not mean there is especially plentiful nutrition in organic product. The part mineral content of agricultural products follows in soil quality, therefore plentiful chemical fertilizer-use to change soil quality results in the possibility of the mineral content change. The vitamin, carbohydrate, protein and fatty acid composition does not change largely from original nutrition facts. Rather than, the most advantage of organic product is relieving baby from agricultural chemical harms. It will be a strong desire for consumers to eat safe, believable and healthy food like organic foods. Furthermore, it will be sincerely good to environment and ecosystem.

Various diseases occur in fruits, leave and roots during strawberry cultivation and cause severe economical damage and huge amount of chemical fungicide use. Recently, as consumers' interest in safety of foods and organic agriculture produces have increased, control measures using alternatives for chemical fungicides have been newly developed in various ways. This study was conducted to test antifungal activity and control effect of sodium dichloroisocyanurate (NaDCC), using as disinfectants, against major disease pathogens of strawberry, Fusarium oxysporum (Fusarium wilt), Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (Anthracnose) and Phytophthora sp. (Phytophthora blight), and Xanthomonas fragariae (bacterial angular leaf spot) and evaluate availability as environment-friendly materials. When NaDCC was treated at the concentration range of 150 to 300 ppm, it suppressed significantly hyphal growth and reduced spore germination by more than 28%. In field condition, NaDCC showed excellent control effect (control value: 50%) against the bacterial angular leaf spot disease. Based on above-described results, we suggested that NaDCC can be used as alternative candidates to chemical pesticide alternatives of for controlling strawberry diseases.

This study was conducted to determine the amounts of pesticide residues after treatment of criterion dose with 4 pesticides(tolclofos-m, folpet, procymidone, and triflumizole) under cultivated period and to compare the biological half-life of pesticides with 6 kinetic models(first, zero and second order kinetics, power function, elovich and parabolic model) and to establish proposed field tolerance using biological half-lives. Recovery of 4 pesticides form strawberry was ranged from 85.1 to 105.5%. For all of 4 pesticides, dissipation rate was over 73% at 5 days after application. Among 6 kinetic models, first order kinetic model (FO) was best fit to describe the relationship between residual pattern of pesticides and time. Therefore, half-lives were calculated by FO for establishing the field tolerance. These results showed that half-life should be calculated by comparative best fit kinetic model and field tolerance can help to prevent unacceptable agricultural products from marketing. It is good for both consumers and farmers having safe agricultural products and financial benefits, respectively.

The purpose of this study is to provide basic data on the safety of Poria cocos, a major Korean herbal medicine, and to establish tolerance levels for hazardous substances. Residual pesticides (321 types), heavy metals (7 types), radioactivity (3 types), and ash content were analyzed in 10 Poria cocos products distributed in Korea (5 domestic and 5 in China). Of the residual pesticides, cypermethrin was detected at 0.03 mg/kg in one domestic sample and was below the standard value. Of the heavy metals, the levels of Zn, Pb, Ni, Cu, Hg, and Cr were below the standard values in all samples. Hg was not detected in any sample. Cd was detected at 0.011 mg/kg in one Chinese sample. The radioactivity concentration was also below the MDA value in all P. cocos samples. The ash content was less than the standard value of 1.0% in all P. cocos samples. The findings indicate that P. cocos distributed in Korea is safe. However, because P. cocos is always exposed to harmful substances because of the nature of its cultivation in the soil, it seems necessary to establish systematic management standards for the entire production stage, such as cultivation, storage, and distribution.
