Agricultural Research & Technology: Open Access Journal - Juniper Publishers Abstract Pesticide residues must be managed for food safety and regulations are being strengthened worldwide. In Korea, the Positive List System (PLS) was introduced to prevent the misuse and manage unregistered pesticides. The PLS is a system that applies 0.01 mg/kg to crops for which maximum residue limits is not set. A more stringent regulatory system could lead to an increase in agricultural products that exceed standards. Therefore it is necessary to confirm the change in the determination rate of agricultural products exceeding the previous pesticide residue standards. In terms of climate change, temperature increase and changes in precipitation patterns are the main pest and pathogen infection determinants. Complex interactions and climate variability will lead to more frequent spraying of pesticides and eventually affect consumer exposure at the end of the food chain. Therefore, we confirmed the re...
