The sweet fennel was grown in Tefenni town of Burdur provience in South Western Part of Turkey. The residue analyses were done by GC-MS/MS and LC-MS/MS chromatographies. Total 186 active substances in used pesticides during the cultivation period were analyzed by LC-MS/MS chromatography meanwhile 116 active substances of pesticides by GC-MS/MS chromatography device were analyzed in sweet fennel seed. This study was conducted in years of 2012 and 2013 consecutively.   Detectable pesticide residues have not been measured in the samples.
