Abstract By detecting the pesticide use and 94 kinds pesticide residues in vegetable production in Zhejiang Province，major pesticide residue types at present and their risks in vegetable were analyzed．The results showed that 78 kinds of pesticides mainly used in vegetable production，including insecticide，fungicide，growth regulator and herbicide were mostly pesticides with high effective and low toxic．The detection of pesticide residues revealed that 28 pesticides got high detectable rate in vegetables，including acetamiprid，carbendazim，dursban，imidacloprid，morpholine，triazophos，propamocarb，pyridaben，etc.．The results also indicated that 46.4% of the detected pesticides with residual in vegetables were not found in using．But methamidophos and other highly toxic pesticides were still checked out．One of the main risks is some pesticide products without label and their component is unclear to customer．In addition，a unified standard testing method has not been established for 28 kinds of pesticides frequently used in vegetable production．Pesticide residue is still a security risk for vegetable consumption．
