To explore the main sources and pathways of heavy metals entering fruits and the corresponding countermeasures, a field survey
was conducted in Pujiang County, Zhejiang Province, China. The results showed that heavy metals in fruits came mainly from
the use of foliar fertilizers, ripening agents, fungicides, pesticides, and other sprayed materials during the flowering and ripening
stages. Therefore, a government program should be established to improve monitoring of agricultural products entering the
market. The program should guide and help agriculture workers to correct and improve their practices, build a proper
compensation system based on the quality of agricultural products, and strengthen the planning and management of agricultural
products.
