The vegetables contamination in the process of agricultural production on farms and private allotments

The results of comparative study of the chemicals content in vegetables, produced on farms and private allotments on the Saratov Region are present in this article. The content of organochloride, organophosphorus compounds, pesticides and herbicides in vegetables were analyzed by the thin-layer chromatography method. Nitrates levels in vegetables were determined by the potentiometric method. The organochloride pesticides content in the examples of foodstuffs which were produced on farms and private allotments didn´t have differences in terms of their contamination with these pesticides (p>0.05). The content of organophosphorus insecticides (chlorpyrifos) was not more than permissible level (0.01±0.002 mg/kg), but in agricultural products produced on private allotments the concentration of chlorpyrifos was not more than 50% of the permissible level (0.0045±0,001 mg/kg, p
