After 1 year of introducing the PLS system for all crops, procymidone is still notorious as an unsuitable pesticide.
Procymidone is a fungicide for controlling gray mold, leaf rot, anthracnose, and so on. However, in some households, procymidone is still found in greens, beets and spinach, which is considered unacceptable.
Procymidone is used to destroy ferns, nettles, and also as a fungicide to kill fungi.
Last year, 45 inconsistencies were identified, which is 43% of all inconsistencies. Last year, industry representatives explained that procymidone, which was purchased in advance, was suitable for use by greengrocers.
According to the South Korean Rural Development Authority, until February there were 23 inconsistencies with the standards for the detection of procymidone, which is 26% of the number this year.
Direct speech: “The number of discrepancies is decreasing, and the total number of agricultural products is small, but some pesticides cause discrepancies, and we pay special attention to understand the specific reasons,” said an official from the research policy department of the Rural Development Administration.
