What is residue tolerance?

The amount of time a pesticide remains effective on a surface

The minimum legal amount of a pesticide that can be used

The maximum legal amount of pesticide residue allowed on or in food or feed

Residue tolerance refers to the maximum legal amount of pesticide residue that is allowed on or in food or feed. This means that any amount of residue above this limit would be considered illegal. Option A is incorrect because it refers to the effectiveness of a pesticide on a surface, not the legal amount. Option B is incorrect because it describes the minimum legal amount, rather than the maximum. Option D is incorrect because it is a measure of toxicity, rather than the legal limit for residue.
