Two pesticides commonly used in spinach were subjected to a field residue trial to ensure safety of terminal residues in the harvest. The residual patterns of two pesticides, which were Azoxystrobin and chlorpyrifos were examined after applying with the recommended dose and their DT∧50 were calculated. Also degradation patterns of pesticides at storage 4℃ were compared to those at 20℃, and removal rates of pesticides by washing spinach with water were measured. Biological half-lives of azoxystrobin and chlorpyrifos were 3.2~3.8 and 3.8~4.7 days, respectively. During the storage period, the degradation patterns were appeared more obviously at 20℃ than 4℃. Removal rates of azoxystrobin and chlorpyrifos were 9.6~90.0% and 17.7~85.8% by various washing methods.
