Abstract

Broccoli is a vegetable, widely produced in high elevation area of West Java. In its production, farmers use uncontrolled pesticides which are thought to have a large influence on the people who consume them. Allegedly, elevation affects the growth of broccoli and public health. This article reports the significance of the effects of pesticide residues on broccoli plants and their interactions with human health that consume them based on elevation differences. The study was conducted in three locations of broccoli planting with elevations of 600, 1000 and 1500 m above sea level. Sampling of gardens and farmers, insecticides that are not recommended for eradicating pests in brocoli plants namely Abamectin (Agrimec 18 EC, ba 18.4 g), chlorantranitipol (prevathion 50 SC, ba 50 g / L) and provenus (Curachon 500 EC, ba 500 gr / L). sample residue 1 = 2.20 mg / kg (10% greater than the maximum residual limit), sample 2 = 2.47 mg / kg (20% greater than the maximum residual limit), sample 3 = 3.65 mg / kg (82% greater than the Maximum Residue Limit), sample 4 = 3.21 mg / kg (60% greater than the Maximum Residual Limit.
