Last August, the EPA restricted the pesticides methyl parathion and azinphos methyl to protect children from residues in food. Regardless of what pesticides are on the market, it always is wise to minimize residues by washing fruits and vegetables in water, VanVranken said. But the benefits of eating fresh produce far outweigh the minimal risks of potential pesticide residues. The New Jersey Environmental Federation offers information on organic pest-control methods. Entries submitted by members of Morris Land Conservancy will be judged separately and also awarded ribbons for the best in each class for each category.
