Key Findings
- The study by Anand Agricultural University, India, examined how long fluoxapiprolin residues persist in cucumber and tomato crops
- In cucumber, fluoxapiprolin residues fell below detectable levels by the 5th day after application
- In tomato, residues dropped to undetectable levels by the 14th day after application
- The study found that fluoxapiprolin residues do not pose a significant risk to consumers when good agricultural practices are followed
