The residue levels of post-harvest applied pesticides in cherries during storage or processing were investigated. After application of captan, iprodione, and pyrethrin, cherries were stored for 8 weeks or canned with syrup, and the levels of the pesticides were determined after each processing step. No captan, 59.4% of iprodione, and 38.1-136.4% of pyrethrin components were detected in cherries after 8 weeks' storage at 5°C. No captan, 39.5% of iprodione, and 51.1-150.2% of pyrethrin components were detected after canning with syrup.
