Nine hundred sixty imported and three hundred and eighty three agricultural crop samples were gathered from regions in southern Jordan and analyzed for pesticide residues in 2020 and 2021. The results for both local and imported samples showed that there were no detected pesticide for the banned organochlorine pesticides. There were 6.53% and 7.92% of local and imported crop samples, respectively, contained residues more than the adopted maximum residue limits (MRLs). In addition, there were 12.53% and 10.73% of the monitored local and imported samples, respect- tively contained residues less than the MRLs. There were 80.94% local and 81.35% imported samples of the remained analyzed ones without detect detectable residues. It is recommended to keep monitoring the pesticide residues in all environmental components including the agricultural crops locally and imported ones to protect human health of the citizens and the environment, and to assess the decision makers to take the right decisions concerning pesticide handling and registration.
