This article presents the development of a multiresidue method for the estimation of 30 insecticides, 15 organochlorine insecticides and 6 organophosphorus insecticides, 9 synthetic pyrethriods and 2 herbicides and their quantification in vegetables. The monitoring study indicates that though all the vegetable samples were contaminated with pesticides, only 31% of the samples contained pesticides above the prescribed tolerance limit.
