Highlights
This study analyzed pesticide residue of the most commonly used pesticides in tomato, cabbage, and eggplant from the Western Province of Rwanda.
The predominant insecticides detected were cypermethrin (40.75%), metalaxyl (30.98%) profenofos, and deltamethrin (26.24%).
Findings indicated that pesticide residues contaminated 30, 36.67, and 23.33% of the sampled tomato, cabbage, and eggplant, respectively.
Public awareness regarding pesticide use and management should be raised urgently to ensure consumer safety.
