Various plants sprayed with 0.25 kg fenvalerate/ha all had measurable residues 7 days after application, and nondetectable residues 15 to 30 days after treatment (Jain etal. 1979). Washing plants in cold water to remove the pesticide was effective only on the initial day of application, removing 30 to 50%. Afterward, only 3 to 13% could be removed by washing. Cooking removed 71 to 88% of the fenvalerate residues on the initial day of treatment but in later samplings, removal was 68 to 70% in spinach (Spinacea oleracea) and tomatoes, and 38 to 40% in okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) and cauliflower (Brassica oleracea botrytis) (Jain et al. 1979).

Tliis is a cosmopolitan, but especially tropical, family, ll is known as the source of cotton and many species of hibiscus used as ornamentals and the makings of a drink common in eastern Africa. The vegetable okra, Abelmoschus esculentus, also comes from this family. 

People around the world enjoy Africa s culinary contributions. These include the peanut Arachis hypogaea, Fabaceae), yam (Dioscorea spp., Dioscoreaceae), watermelon Citrullus lanatus, Cucurbitaceae), okra Abelmoschus esculentus, Malvaceae) and many other foods and flavors. In North America and in many other parts of the world there is little recognition of the many contributions that Africa has made to modem culture, i.e., perhaps beyond the domain of etlmobotanists and pharmacognosists.
