Abstract
Turkey is one of the world’s largest producers and exporters of table grapes Growing social concerns over excessive pesticide use have led to farming to move from conventional to organic practices Table grapes were collected from 99 different farms in three Aegean regions Pesticide residues were only detected in farms using conventional agriculture practices while no pesticides were detected in grapes from farms using organic or integrated pest management A risk assessment model indicated that lambdacyhalothrin posed the most significant risk at conventional farms
