Chemical residue resources
In addition to the information that can be found on our website, Agriculture Victoria has a number of resources that can be helpful when managing chemical residues in primary produce. These documents can be used as a guide when:
- taking samples for residue analysis
- observing withholding periods
- managing cross-contamination from farm infrastructure
- avoiding crop damage from residual herbicides.
