Abstract
The fate of three pesticides (vinclozolin, dimethoate, cyproconazole) in plums, from field treatment to the drying process, was studied. Onl y vinclozolin showed measurable residue concentrations at harvest, whi le dimethoate was completely degraded after two weeks and cyproconazol e was present at negligible levels just after treatment. During the dr ying process into prunes, the residues were not reduced during the fru it washing stage, but the drying stage led to complete elimination of vinclozolin residues.
